K9 Training Groups
Enter shared training data once, while keeping individual records intact
K9 Training Groups reduce duplicate entry during group training by letting teams enter shared exercise details once, while preserving individual performance records for each handler. Less repeated data entry leaves more room to document how the dog performed.
Reduce duplicate entry during group training
Keep records consistent across handlers
Preserve individual performance records per handler

Stop duplicating the same training entry across multiple handlers
Before
Each handler logs the same group exercise separately
Small differences in wording and data create inconsistencies
Extra time spent repeating entries instead of recording performance
Harder supervisor review when documentation formats vary
Group training creates inconsistent records across the unit
After
Shared exercise details entered once for the group
Individual performance records still captured per handler
Less duplicate entry across handlers
More consistent documentation across the unit
More complete performance notes inside each handler record
How K9 Training Groups work
1
Create a training group entry
Start a group training record for the session so shared exercise details are entered once.
2
Enter shared exercise details once
Capture the common training information for the group instead of repeating it in every handler record.
3
Preserve individual performance records
Keep the shared details consistent while documenting each handler’s results and performance notes separately.
4
Easily review group training
When group entries share the same base information, records stay more uniform and easier to review later.

Why K9 teams value Training Groups
PACKTRACK has revolutionized how we maintain our training records, deployments forms, and statistics. As the only supervisor of a 26-team K-9 Unit, PACKTRACK has streamlined our recordkeeping and afforded me the time to monitor actual training and deployments on the street with my people instead of sitting behind a desk. The multiple access options of the system allow me to review and approve records whenever and wherever I am with ease. Additionally, it identifies when and where our deployments occur, allowing me to assign our K-9 teams when and where they are needed most. The customer service of the PACKTRACK staff has been second to none and they have been open to any of our needs. I would highly recommend the service for anyone looking to improve their recordkeeping and K-9 unit as a whole!

PACKTRACK has made many of the administrative duties within our large K9 unit simple and efficient. The transition from an Access database system to PACKTRACK has been a monumental improvement to the many administrative processes of our unit! Our unit has 31 handlers, 2 full-time trainers, and 2 unit supervisors. The amount of data generated from training and deployments with a unit this size can be difficult to manage. PACKTRACK has made managing, navigating, entering, and retrieving all of our data nearly effortless. The increased efficiency not only allows our unit to be more productive but it also adds an element of professionalism with the ability to generate reports almost instantly. Our handlers in the field greatly appreciate the ability to use their mobile devices to make activity and training entries.

On behalf of the Maine State Police K9 Unit I'd like to extend our sincerest gratitude to PACKTRACK as our unit transitions to a new report writing and training record keeping system. The functionality and robust features of PACKTRACK proves to be invaluable for a group of handlers comprised of multiple agencies. The features of PACKTRACK are too numerous to list. The best part about PACKTRACK is their dedicated customer support system. Anytime there's a question, PACKTRACK is quick to help with whatever the need. We look forward to moving ahead with PACKTRACK being a huge part of our program.

I've learned more about training police dogs from Jeff Barrett and Andy Weiman [PACKTRACK's creators] than from all of my other classes combined. These guys know what they're talking about and it works. They know it works because they're on the streets catching bad guys and finding drugs like no one else.
