Prepare an exercise area
Draw an area in the search area planner or choose one already saved. Point markers keep useful locations available for preparation and review.
Record the search
Use the phone location, a supported dog tracker or both sources. After training, view the recorded routes together with the search area.
Keep results in the training history
Add observations, a rating and your next training focus. Link recordings to training records and share them with your organization when needed.
The next step with your dog or team
Choose a training goal and record what you want to practise next. Start with the free base app; planners and offline maps are part of Premium.
Questions about object search
How do object search and tracking work differ?
In object search, the dog searches for objects within an area. In tracking work, the dog follows a laid foot track and indicates articles on that track. RescueDogs keeps the two disciplines separate.
Can I start on my own?
Yes. Start with your own recordings and dog profiles. Join an organization when you want to share training with your team.
How can I use earlier recordings?
Open the dedicated archive in the app or web version. Review the map, markers and notes, or export the recording as GPX for further use.
