How to Add New Training Exercises and Results
Accurately documenting your K9's training is an important step in tracking their progress. From adding training scenarios to capturing detailed results, Dogteampro makes it easy to manage all aspects of your training sessions.
Note: This feature is available in your agency settings, and only administrators can make changes.
Training Exercises
Dogteampro administrators can create or edit existing training exercises. You can also choose if the exercise will require item placement (such as odors or other training items) and enable handlers to record the start and end times for each exercise.
How to Add New Training Exercises
To add a new exercise, follow these steps:
- Go into the agency settings
- Click on the Training Options dropdown
- Select Exercises & Results
- In the Training Exercises section, click the Create button in the top right corner
- Add the exercise name and K9 type
Note: Leaving the K9 type field blank will make the exercise available to all K9 teams. Adding a specific K9 type will filter the exercise to show only for K9s with the corresponding specialty.
- Click Save to apply the changes
How to Add Results For Odors (Training Items) in Training Exercises
If the exercise requires an odor/item placement, you can toggle this option on during the setup:
- Toggle on Detection Odor Used
- Toggle on Display Detection Type (Single & Double Blind) if you'd like to track the type of detection for this exercise
- If you want the exercise to require both an odor AND display the training exercise results drop down, you can toggle on the Display Exercise Result option
How to Capture Exercise Start and End Times
Note: This will add a new feature in the training exercise result section, allowing handlers to enter the specific start and end times. Additionally, this will enable users to adjust the weather conditions based on the time selected.
To track the time for each exercise, you can enable start and end time options:
- Turn on the Set Start/End Times option
