DogBase

Overview

DogBase is a K9 training and operations management platform for working dog teams. It brings training logs, deployments, health records, certifications, and team oversight into one system designed for SAR, detection, service, sport, and related professional programs.

The site positions DogBase as a replacement for paper logs, spreadsheets, and chat-based record keeping. Teams can configure terminology and workflows to match their discipline, capture structured records from the field or kennel, and turn those records into searchable logs, reports, and AI-driven insights.

Core capabilities

Structured session logging

Record training sessions, deployments, actions, evaluations, and health records in a structured format that is easier to search and report on later.

Custom workflows and terminology

Define your own terminology, training types, certifications, and workflows so the system matches different disciplines and team standards.

Reporting and exports

Generate reports for performance tracking, certifications, readiness, and program management, with exports available on paid plans.

Health and wellness tracking

Track weight, vet visits, injuries, medications, and overall condition in one place to keep health information connected to training records.

Team management and visibility

View data at the dog, handler, team, or program level from a centralized dashboard with role-based oversight and audit visibility for enterprise teams.

Media and field documentation

Attach photos, videos, documents, and GPS maps directly to logs so field context and supporting evidence stay with the record.

Common workflows

  • SAR operations

    Search and rescue teams can log training, deployments, certifications, and scenario-specific work such as air scent, trailing, HRD, disaster, water, and avalanche training.

  • Detection and scent work

    Detection teams can record detection sessions, indication quality, and performance patterns across narcotics, explosives, conservation, agriculture, and bio-detection work.

  • Service dog programs

    Service dog, therapy, assistance, and medical alert programs can document training progress, placement readiness, and program oversight in a structured record.

  • Trainer documentation

    Professional trainers and academies can maintain session histories, export reports, and create handover documents for clients or internal teams.
