RescueDogs: Search & Rescue

RescueDogs supports search and rescue dog teams from training preparation to mission debrief. Plan mantrailing sessions and search areas, record GPS tracks and document the work of dogs and handlers.

Make training count

Record exercises, assessments and goals for each dog. Link tracks to training records, follow progress and use programs, milestones and trainer feedback. Organize sessions, meeting points, participants and attendance.

Personal training and search dog sport

Plan and lay tracks, then record the search. Compare the laid reference with the recorded search track, record article indications and choose your next training focus. Start with adaptable training templates for tracking, obedience and agility exercises, and follow each dog’s goals and milestones. Document training for RH-F, IGP, FPr and IFH. Train on your own without joining an organization.

Plan searches and record tracks

Prepare area, rubble, avalanche, cadaver, object and drone searches. Draw and name search areas, add circles and map points, and compare dog and runner trails for mantrailing. Import and export GPX files. Use search patterns with adjustable direction and spacing as a visual planning aid. Find coordinates directly in map search: decimal degrees, UTM, UTMRef/MGRS and both degrees/minutes formats.

Stay oriented in the field

Use maps downloaded in advance and record searches without reception. Compatible external GPS trackers can add tracking data. Share live locations with your team when connected.

Coordinate field operations

Work with alerts, responses, search assignments and a command map. Track personnel, document events and review completed missions. The companion web version supports planning, analysis and incident command.

Organize your team

Manage dogs, qualifications, vaccinations and reminders. Coordinate availability and duty rosters, keep a duty log and manage equipment, vehicles and reservations. Personal recordings also work without an organization.

Some features require Premium, enabled organization modules, appropriate permissions or compatible devices. Live features require internet access; offline maps must be downloaded or imported in advance.
