v2.11.0 – DogBase Readiness & Dog Workload
Release Date: October 29, 2026
You can now define what "ready" means for your own team and see every dog measured against it. This release also adds a weekly workload view for each dog, a redesigned Insights page, and a new sidebar that makes it quicker to move around DogBase. It builds on Insights V2 from v2.8.1.
✨ What's New in v2.11.0
📋 Readiness Requirements
Each account sets its own standard for what a ready dog looks like. DogBase then checks every dog against it, so everyone on the team sees the same status.
- Set requirements like a minimum number of sessions, hours or days of a training type, or an odor or action done every set number of days
- Require current vaccinations and training aids that are in date
- Start from a preset: ANSI/ASB 088, AR 190-12, Kit, or Health basics
- Review the Readiness page for status tiles, a dog list, What's Holding Dogs Back, and Coming Up in 30 Days
Readiness counts all of a dog's trainings. Available on Unit, Program and Enterprise plans, and shown locked on lower plans.
📈 Dog Workload
See each dog's last 7 days next to its usual week, labelled heavier, lighter or no training. It helps you spot a dog that's being pushed too hard or hasn't been worked enough.
- Find it on Insights and on every dog's page
- Admins set the thresholds in a side panel
- Available on every plan
📊 Insights Redesign
Insights is easier to read and quicker to adjust.
- Switch the chart form from each card's title line
- Filter Ratings by Conditions by training type
- Odor Maintenance now counts in the window your own requirement sets
- This Month vs Target sits under the account card
- Workload runs full width
- A new Inventory tab
🧭 New Sidebar and Navigation
A sectioned sidebar groups DogBase into Home, Dogs, Training, Health, Inventory, Insights, Reports and People. Inventory now has its own item.
- A Create menu for starting new records
- A tidier top bar with Reminders, search with recent records, and an account menu for language and units
- A Pinned row on the Dashboard for your dogs and your training or action templates
🏠 Dashboard Updates
The Dashboard shows more of what needs you today.
- Health and Inventory Needs Attention cards sit side by side, and each tells you when nothing is due
- Readiness and Inventory summaries appear on the Dashboard
- Accounts without inventory items see how to get started
🔧 Smaller Changes
- Pricing pages now list Readiness requirements & scorecards and Dog workload
- Saving account settings alone no longer adds an "account updated" entry to the activity log
🐾 Summary
Version 2.11.0 is a significant update that helps teams define readiness on their own terms and keep an eye on workload.
This release delivers:
- Readiness requirements with presets and a dedicated Readiness page
- Dog workload on Insights and on every dog's page
- A redesigned Insights page, new sidebar, and updated Dashboard
DogBase continues to evolve based on feedback from professional working dog teams
to ensure the platform remains the most flexible and powerful training management
system available.
