Multi-Handler Continuity

Built for rotating shifts, changing assignments, and multi-handler units.

Working dog programs often involve rotating shifts, supervisors, trainers, and temporary handler changes. DogBase keeps records consistent so a new handler can understand the dog's history fast, supervisors can review trends by dog, team, or unit, and training plans don't reset when staffing changes.

"This App has undoubtedly made our  training more efficient with clear documentation of progress. Definitely  making the training more progressive instead of just repetitive.'" — J.B., K9  Military Handler

Fast to  capture in the field. Strong enough for oversight.

Why high-accountability K9 programs choose DogBase.

Train together. Across any unit or agency

DogBase Groups lets K9 handlers from different units, agencies, or jurisdictions collaborate in shared environments. Run joint training events, assign sessions to specific handlers, and track completions across the whole group — every handler's record stays in their own account.

AI that surfaces what supervisors need to see

DogBase Intelligent Training Summaries analyze every session and generate plain-language insights — what improved, what regressed, what to focus on next. Supervisors see performance trends across every dog and handler in their unit without asking anyone for a report.

What K9 professionals say about DogBase

From search and detection to service and sport — K9 professionals worldwide rely on DogBase to log faster, perform better, and stay mission-ready.
DogBase is making the administrative side of detection logs that much more efficient. I enjoy the clean and simple-to-use interface and the ability to submit logs on the go through mobile. Being able to print log reports helped to streamline my process. I like that DogBase staff are constantly working to make the program better and improve accessibility. Customer support is quick to respond and fast to problem solve and help with whatever is needed.
While I am still introducing myself to the software, it has already shown its potential for replacing log books entirely for myself and others on my team. Not only is it one less item to keep track but the simplicity makes it more motivating to complete log books.
I am loving using Dogbase! It is providing such great value in training my dogs and I plan to continue to use it for as long as I possibly can. I love the amount of information that you are able to log for each training session. Before, I was using the old school notebook method for keeping track of my training sessions. Now, with using Dogbase, I have access to SO many more variables that I wouldn't have normally thought to log before that can possibly make a difference in future training sessions.
DogBase is one of the few K9 logs that caters specifically to Search and Rescue (SAR). I am a relatively new user, but impressed by the amount of versatility it has to offer. I've used other K9 logs in the past, but they were focused on Law Enforcement and were not as detailed for SAR work, as is DogBase. Detailed record keeping is essential if you want to learn to identify the good and the bad in your training routines and to maintain your credibility as a search team. In my opinion, DogBase does the job.

I am so glad that I was invited to "test" this. I dreaded do my logs books and couldn't find an easy method. This platform is easy and so far all updates have made it easier and clear to fill out. I hope that we can continue to use it. I also like that I can check on more of my own team members and what training they are logging.

So far it's been a great app. Starting to switch completely over to it
Absolutely love this application. Such ease of use and able to track everything. Same format for all trainings and love the information added based on time and location. This will be a game changer in record keeping for SAR dogs.

This App has undoubtedly made our training more efficient with clear documentation of progress. Definitely making the training more progressive instead of just repetitive. It's easy to use, relevant for the training we conduct, and the customer support is awesome.
I was tired of using Excel spreadsheets where I had to remember all the information when I was finally able to sit down and enter it. I like DogBase because I can use my phone and fill it out during training while all the information is fresh. Its easy to go down the list and fill out each part and in the end I have all the information I want to keep track of for my HR and Airscent K9.

I have tried a lot of different ways to track my training for my Search and Recovery dogs. DOG BASE is by far the best and easiest to use. Love it!
