K9 search and rescue software is a shared record of every training session, deployment, certification, and health event for your SAR dogs and handlers. DogBase is built for that work. Handlers log air scent, trailing, HRD, disaster, water, and avalanche sessions on iOS, Android, or any browser, and GPS, weather, and wind get captured automatically. Callouts sit in their own deployment log, apart from training. Certifications for dogs and handlers come with reminders before they expire, and exports go out as PDF, Excel, or CSV.
Wind direction, terrain type, search area, subject location (blind/visible), time in area, off-lead/on-lead, outcome, AI summary per session. Every session structured the same way across every handler.
Start point, scent article type, surface conditions, trail age, distance, distractions, indication quality, outcome. Weather and GPS location captured automatically.
Odor source type (whole remains, decomposition, blood), surface type, search area, number of hides, subject location, trained final response, quantity. NASAR and state certification hours tracked by odor category.
Search type (rubble, collapsed building, confined space), number of subjects, subject location (blind/visible), repetitions, search area size, distance, terrain conditions, distractions.
Water type, current conditions, search area, deployment method, shore vs. boat, duration, number of passes, outcome. Equipment and safety checklists linked to the dog and handler profile.
Snow conditions, burial depth, search area, time to find, number of subjects, terrain type, weather at session time (auto-captured), outcome. Full certification tracking for avalanche-specific standards.
DogBase works for solo handlers logging their own dog's training as much as it works for multi-agency units coordinating across dozens of handlers and locations. Log training, deployments, and after-action notes in a consistent format without slowing down the mission. Role-based access lets individual handlers manage their own records while team coordinators see the full picture across every dog and every callout.
Absolutely love this application. 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.Berbel S., K9 Handler, Search and Rescue Teams of Warren County
Here's what changes for a SAR unit when training and callout records move off paper.
Fast logging on mobile or desktop so records stay current without becoming the job. Handlers document sessions and callouts in real time, not from memory later.
SAR teams fail audits and lose certification hours because different handlers log differently. DogBase enforces one structure across your entire team: same fields, same format, same timestamp standard, no matter who's logging or from which device. When it's time to prove training hours to NASAR or a partner agency, the record's already there.
Export certification hours, callout summaries, training histories, and performance data in one click. Formatted for NASAR, state certifications, partner agencies, and after-action review.
Configure fields, visibility settings, and reporting formats to match your program's standards. Role-based access controls what each handler and supervisor can see across every record type.
