Assigning K9s to teams has been a topic for discussion a couple of times. Automating gets too complicated to make feature changes. I.e. One handler, multiple K9s on the same assignment, one handler using another handler's K9 (some teams allow this
), switching K9's mid assignment, and the complexities continue. MM Tries to add as much functionality as possible while trying to keep things simple for ease of use.
Here are some tips for how different groups assign K9s to teams:
- Create a Member profile for the K9s, and check them in and add them to teams just like the human Members
- Add the K9 name that will be used to the "Notes" section of the team assignment
- Not note the K9 name on the team assignment at all, instead count on the handler to put the K9 name(s) used in the debrief forms
Hope that helps, other teams may have other suggestions.
