Search Dog Team Organization

Dogs, members, trainers, groups, trainings, trials, searches and search areas belong together. RescueDogs turns team data into one shared working environment.

Search dog work is team work. RescueDogs helps organizations manage dogs, members, trainer roles, response leaders, groups, training sessions, trial information, searches and search areas together.

The Team Organization Problem

The larger a team becomes, the more quickly information spreads across tools. Training feedback, dog data, trials, search areas and operation roles need one shared context.

  • Training planning and responses are often separated from dog data and goals.
  • Trial dates and readiness are not visible to everyone who needs them.
  • Search areas, trails and recordings are sent around or recreated several times.
  • Groups, trainers and response leaders need clear roles instead of improvised lists.

How RescueDogs Makes Organization Easier

In RescueDogs, users can create an organization or join one by organization ID. Inside the organization, dog profiles, searches, training sessions, search areas, trial information and roles can be shared. Administrators can plan trainings, assign trainers, create groups and define response leaders.

Organization Management

Members join by organization ID. Dogs, searches, trainings and trial information can be shared across the team.

Training Planning

Trainings can be planned with place, time and individual notes. Members can accept or decline.

Groups & Roles

Trainers, response leaders and groups such as helpers or trailers can be structured for clearer training and alerting.

One Flow for the Team

RescueDogs connects everyday team practice: plan training, see feedback, manage dogs, track trial information and share search data.

Instead of spreading information across chat, spreadsheets and paper, the team gets a shared working state for handlers, trainers and administrators.

Scalable for Larger Teams

According to the press material, the app has been available for more than two years, is used in over 35 countries and already supports hundreds of organizations. That is why roles, groups and shared data matter.

Organizations can centrally manage premium licenses when they use volume licensing. That keeps usage manageable not only for individuals but for teams.

Connected from Training to Operations

Organization data supports several areas: shared trainings, shared search areas, live tracking, groups and operation roles.

That lets a team train, prepare and coordinate from the same system instead of switching tools at every step.
