Your training data should work as hard as you do.

Most handlers spend more time documenting training than they should, or skip it entirely. DogBase captures every session with structured inputs that take seconds, not minutes. No handwriting to decipher. No spreadsheets to maintain. No details lost between the field and the desk.

Log training, actions, and everything in between.

01. Structured Session Logging

Training that actually gets recorded.

Handlers log sessions in seconds from mobile or desktop, with structured workflows that stay consistent across every handler, location, and discipline. Weather, GPS, and time are captured automatically. Draft Mode saves interrupted sessions. Log Duplication lets recurring drills skip repetitive entry. Built for the field, not a desk.

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. It's 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.Heather S, Alamo Area Search and Rescue

Why choose us

Built different. Because the work demands it.

01
Structured by design
Most tools let you type whatever you want. DogBase enforces structure from day one, including training type, dog, handler, location, and outcome. No free-text drift. No missing fields. No interpreting someone else's notes six months later.

02
Built for the field
DogBase runs on desktop and mobile. Handlers log in real time, directly from the training area. Draft Mode saves interrupted sessions. Log Duplication skips repetitive entry for recurring drills. The platform was designed by a SAR handler, and it is built around how teams actually train and operate.

03
Training and operations in one system
Training sessions and operational actions live side by side, same structure, same search, same reports. A deployment log follows the same standards as a training log. No separate systems, no different formats, no gaps between what you train and what you deploy.

04
Every log connected to a complete picture
A single training log is just a data point. DogBase connects every session to the dog's full history, health record, certifications, and AI-generated summaries so every log compounds into visibility that drives real decisions.

DogBase has been a great resource to be able to customize record keeping for my K9. I love how I can tweak the format and features as I go and can have everything in one place if needed to access. But what I've really appreciated more than anything has been the customer support in helping me set up a good logging system for my dogs and learn how to utilize the program more efficiently. They have helped me with every question I've had and even put the time into drafting templates for the training/action type to help me get started. That alone made a huge difference that set them apart from other programs out there that offer record keeping.
I have been using this app for over a year for all my trainings and deployments. The app is very easy to navigate and easily customizable. The AI summary is a very useful tool.

DogBase has become an important part of my work as a HRD K9 handler with Murphy. It provides a simple, reliable way to document training, deployments, and performance over time, giving me confidence that every session contributes to Murphy's long-term development and operational readiness. For K9 handlers committed to excellence, accountability, and continual improvement, it is a valuable platform that supports both the working dog and the mission we serve.

New to the working dog community little did we know training and caring for a working dog is a significant undertaking. Dogbase has improved our training and results with consistent sessions, not as much for the dog but me it’s a new adventure for me and Dogbase is a big part of our training now. Thank you for taking the time to design a database program to help organize and see the weaknesses to address. As my journey with a working dog grows so will my learning, adjustment and growth.
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 logbooks 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 logbooks.
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 doing my logbooks 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.
