Park City, UT - Wasatch Backcountry Rescue (WBR) will hold its Dog School's training day at Utah's The Canyons ski resort on Thursday, when teams will be working on article search techniques, ranging, and cadaver searching. The day will finish with helicopter familiarization and a flight to a search for the dogs.

Activities will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the mid-mountain Red Pine area at the top of the Flight of The Canyons gondola at The Canyons Resort in Park City.

The purpose of the WBR Dog School is to bring younger avalanche dogs in training to the next level of search proficiency by bringing in senior dog handlers from WBR and Canada.
