⛑️🐕‍🦺 Avalanche dogs are a critical tool to keep people safe in the mountains, but did you know they have a long history of protecting people well before ski resorts ever existed? 😮 The first documented case of dogs being used for avalanche rescues was in 1707, and their history of helping people in the mountains goes even further back in time. 🦮👀

The snow may be melting but the training never stops!
We use scented pieces of clothing called "articles" to simulate deeper avalanche burials. We can also bury them in ways to simulate a more difficult dig for the dog, providing a greater challenge for them!
As you can tell has no issues finding them!!

Today we remember the late and great Chief! On what would have been his 18th birthday!

Chief was one of the earliest members of EastsideK9 and set the standard for all of our avalanche dogs!

We miss you Chief dog! 🖤🖤

Ever wonder how our dogs move around the mountain?

This is just one of many ways!! Our pooches love running but dogs aren't made to run down steep hills! So to keep their joints healthy we give them a little help sometimes!!
