K9LAB - Performance K9 Division

We’ve partnered with K9LAB - the app we put our name behind.

It’s built by a friend and mentor of ours, a handler who lived and breathed getting the most out of working dogs at the pointy end. We’ve been using the app since early on, so this isn’t a brand deal - it’s something we actually run and rate.

K9LAB is a performance and management platform built for working dog handlers, not another pet app with a working dog sticker slapped on it. It brings the whole picture into one place: training and conditioning, development records, an operational diary, medical and vet history, casualty card and documentation, weight and nutrition, and weekly planning - all with performance stats built from what you log. Patrol, detection, sport, or an active dog at home, it gives you the tools to plan, track and actually improve, day to day.

It’s the kind of thing we wish we’d had years ago: structure and accountability, no clutter, built by someone who’s done the job. If you take your dog’s development seriously, give it a download.

Track. Plan. Optimise.

Built For Every Working Dog Team

Law Enforcement. Military. Search and rescue. Patrol. Detection. Protection sports. Or just an active dog you want performing at its best.

If you train it, or depend on it, K9LAB was built for you.

no more scattered notes, spreadsheets and memory. K9LAB brings your dog's whole picture together - organised, trackable, and built around the way handlers actually work.

A closer look

Tracking Division

Record every track live. K9LAB maps your route by GPS as you go, then saves it to a full history so you can review distance, progress and performance session to session. Whether you’re building a green dog or keeping an operational one sharp, you’ve got a complete tracking record in your pocket - not scribbled in a notebook.

Pro Planner

Plan the work before you do it. Pro Planner lets you schedule sessions, map routes and areas, set performance goals and organise your dog’s development on a proper tactical planning layout. It’s the difference between training on a whim and training with a plan.

Training & Session Logging

Log every session as it happens - conditioning, obedience, detection, tactical work - straight to the active dog’s profile. Entries stay organised and searchable, so your dog’s whole development history is one scroll away, not spread across your memory and three different apps.

Health, Medical & Readiness

Keep medical records, vet plans, weight and husbandry all in one place - plus K9 Casualty Card and MARCH documentation built for the operational environment. When it matters, the information’s there and it’s current.

Performance & Insights

K9LAB turns what you log into something useful - performance stats, workload and activity trends, and Weather Intelligence to factor conditions into your training. Real insight from real data, so you’re making decisions on facts, not feel.

PDF Reporting

Export clean, professional PDF reports straight from the app. Handlers, trainers and developers can pull training and performance records for admin, review or handover in a couple of taps.

See it in Action!

What's Next?

K9LAB is built by a handler who actually uses it, which means it’s always moving forward. Here’s what’s on the way.

K9LAB Medic Division

A dedicated medical and casualty-care division, purpose-built for the operational environment - giving handlers and their support a structured way to manage K9 medical readiness when it matters most.

And more beyond it.

Development is ongoing, with new tools and improvements rolling out regularly. This is a platform that grows with the handlers using it - if it makes your dog and your work better, it’s on the list.

Track. Review. Improve.
