Detection teams track reliability by logging every session in the same structure, then comparing results across odors, environments, and handlers over time. In DogBase, handlers log odor category, hide placement, environment, indication behavior, and time to find, with weather and GPS captured automatically. Drilldown Insights show where false alerts spike. Health Center sits on the same dog profile, so you can tell a training problem from a health one. DogBase also tracks training aids and certifications.
Detection dogs don't fail randomly. They fail in predictable patterns: specific environments, specific odor concentrations, specific handler behaviors, specific distraction conditions. When a dog false-alerts, the question isn't just 'what happened?' It's 'has this happened before, and when?' Without a structured training record, that question is almost impossible to answer accurately. DogBase logs every session the same way, with the same fields and structure every time, so the pattern data builds consistently across every handler and every training location. When a false alert occurs, the history is there. When certification approaches, the evidence is there. When a new handler takes over the dog, the complete record is there. Detection reliability isn't built in one session. It's built in the data across hundreds of them.

What changes when every detection session feeds the same reliability record.




Define your own training types with fields that match your methodology. Narcotics teams log odor categories and blank run performance. Conservation teams log target species and transect data. Bed bug teams log room type and client outcomes. Same platform, your structure.
A dog that's overtrained, medicated, or off conditioning doesn't indicate reliably. DogBase connects vet visits, medications, vaccinations, and weight tracking to training data so you see whether a performance dip is a training problem or a health problem.
Filter by odor type, environment, handler, or date range. Export to PDF, Excel, or CSV. Generate certification documentation, performance summaries, and program reports formatted for supervisors, clients, and certification bodies.
Whether you run a two-dog narcotics team or a 15-dog conservation program across field sites, DogBase scales without changing tools. Role-based access means handlers see their own records, supervisors see the full team, program directors see everything.

DogBase gives you the record. Admissibility is decided by the court and depends on jurisdiction and agency policy. What you bring is a consistent training history: every record carries the training date the handler entered and a server-stamped saved time that can't be backdated, and Training Versioning shows who edited what and when. Export it as PDF, Excel, or CSV.
Yes. DogBase includes training aid inventory and scent aid tracking, so your aids live in the same system as your training records instead of a separate binder. Add the session fields you care about in Custom Type Builder, like odor category, quantity, and hide placement, and every session shows what was set and how the dog responded.
Yes. Custom Type Builder lets you define training types with your own fields, scoring, and outcomes. A conservation team logs species odor and transect data. A bed bug team logs property type and inspection zone. You can also build action types for real searches and deployments. And DogBase will build your first custom training type for free.
Certifications for dogs and handlers sit on their profiles, and DogBase reminds you before they expire. Reminders also cover trainings, medications, vaccinations, appointments, and events, sorted into overdue, due today, and upcoming. When an evaluator or client asks for proof, export certification documentation and training history as PDF, Excel, or CSV, or share a single record by link.
Yes. DogBase scales from one handler and one dog to multi-location units without changing tools. A contract handler can log sessions on the native iOS or Android app and send a client a link to one record. A 15-dog conservation program can run several field sites under one account. The free trial runs 30 days.
