# Faster placement starts with earlier clarity.

## Service Dogs

Log everything. Miss nothing. Training logs, placement readiness, visit documentation, and follow-up support, in one organized, report-ready system.

## DogBase provides consistency across people and locations.

From puppy raising to placement, one complete record.

Puppy raising notes, socialization logs, task training progressions, public access assessments, and placement readiness evaluations are all captured in one structured profile per dog. Track milestones across raisers, trainers, and locations with standardized fields so documentation stays consistent no matter who is logging.

Every visit documented. Every outcome tracked.

Visit type, facility, duration, participant count, session goals, and observed outcomes, captured in structured fields after every therapy visit. Summarize program impact across dogs, handlers, and sites without reconciling scattered volunteer reports.

Structured records for every stage of the dog's journey.

Milestone tracking, reliability scoring, environmental exposure logs, and client matching documentation, built for programs supporting psychiatric service dogs, mobility assistance, autism support, and PTSD service dogs. Placement decisions based on the full picture, not one trainer's memory.

Alert reliability tracked. Placement confidence earned.

Alert type, response time, indication accuracy, proofing conditions, and false alert rates are logged per session with reliability scoring over time. Health records, client matching notes, and post-placement follow-up in the same profile. Built for programs where every data point affects placement safety.

Professional documentation your clients can see.

Log sessions by client, dog, and training goal with structured fields for objectives, methods, outcomes, and next steps. Generate clean progress reports without rebuilding data from memory so your documentation matches the quality of your training.

One platform for every program type.

Service dogs, therapy dogs, assistance and support programs, medical alert dogs, and private trainers are all supported by DogBase, which handles the full documentation lifecycle on one platform. Customizable templates, role-based access, and cloud-based logging ensure every team member works from the same record.

## Full Lifecycle Documentation

### From first day of training to post-placement follow-up, one decision-ready platform.

DogBase tracks the full lifecycle for service and support dogs, from puppy raising notes, training, and public access preparation to client and handler progress, placement readiness, visit and activity documentation, and follow-up support, all in one structured system so you can turn your training data into confident decisions.

## DogBase brings the full story into one structured system.

### Trend visibility that flags risk early.

If a dog repeatedly struggles in specific contexts such as crowds, slick floors, loud environments, or startle recovery, DogBase makes those patterns visible sooner, before months of additional investment. Standardized evaluations across raisers, trainers, and campuses mean 'fit' is measured the same way everywhere.

### Health and training connected in one timeline.

Performance changes can be physical, not behavioral. Keep veterinary notes, growth markers, medications, and training outcomes in one record so teams can see what's really going on and make decisions based on the full picture, not just one part of it.

## Better documentation. Better decisions. Faster progress.

1. **Standardized Documentation Across People and Locations**  
   When multiple trainers, raisers, and volunteers document the same dog, DogBase keeps the format consistent no matter who's logging or where. Custom templates match your program's language, and every entry follows the same structure your team.
2. **Placement Readiness and Milestone Tracking**  
   Track milestones, reliability scoring, and evaluation outcomes over time so placement decisions are based on documented patterns, not a single assessment. See which dogs are progressing, which are stalling, and which may be a better fit for a different pathway.
3. **Health, Medications, and Vet Records Connected to Training**  
   A dog's performance doesn't change in a vacuum. When a dog stalls in a training phase, the cause may be physical, a missed medication, a recent vet visit, a weight shift not behavioral. With health and training records on the same profile, your team sees the full timeline before making a placement or washout call. One record. One decision. No cross-referencing separate systems.
4. **Reports, Exports, and Compliance-Ready Records**  
   Filter by dog, trainer, client, milestone, or date range. Export to PDF or spreadsheet in one click. Training hours, placement documentation, visit summaries, and health records, formatted for board reviews, accreditation, funders, or internal program audits.

### 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.

**Samantha S**  
[Laurel Mountain K9 Search & Rescue](https://www.laurelmountaink9.com/)  
> 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.

**Kyle F**  
[Great Plains Search and Rescue](https://www.gpsk9s.org/)  
> 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.

**Kristin R**  
[Pekelny Pes Working Dogs](https://pekelnypesgsd.weebly.com/)  
> 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.

**Ken M**  
[Catron County Search and Rescue](https://catroncountysar.org/)  
> 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 maintain your credibility as a search team. In my opinion, DogBase does the job.

**Nadine R**  
[GPSK9s](https://www.gpsk9s.org/)  
> 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.

**Curtis D**  
[SAR Unit](/content/solutions/service-dog-programs#/index.html)  
> So far it's been a great app. Starting to switch completely over to it.

**Christian H**  
[Mark9 SAR](https://www.mark9.org/)  
> I am enjoying the app. It's easy to use and apt to great features, especially the weather part of it.

## The mission is placement. And time matters.

Most programs already have the signals they need including puppy raiser notes, trainer observations, health records, evaluations. But the information is often scattered across spreadsheets, binders, email threads, and inconsistent logs. That slows decisions and makes patterns harder to see. DogBase brings it into one system so you can see what the data is telling you sooner.
