Eartsch – Innovative tactical equipment for service dogs

Eartsch is a German company with over 20 years of experience in developing technical equipment for professional users. From skydiving to military use and on to service dog equipment, Eartsch has set a new standard for quality and innovation in the industry.

The story behind Eartsch

The company was founded by Norman Ehrhardt , who started skydiving in 2000 and quickly became interested in advanced technical textiles. When he joined the German army in 2002 , he sought ways to improve and optimize personal equipment for daily use.

His improvements quickly led to newly developed products, which were tested under real conditions in foreign missions and exercises. Contact with dog handlers in the German Military Police (MP) made it natural to transfer this expertise into functional and robust service dog equipment.

The first K9 products were introduced back in 2012, and since then only tested and certified materials have been used. Many of the techniques and materials used originate from the parachute industry, which provides an “overcapacity” in performance – an important factor for service dogs working in extreme conditions.

Product range and innovation

Eartsch's product portfolio has grown over the years and now includes:

• Collars and leashes – Durable and ergonomically designed for optimal control.
• Tactical K9 Vests – Protective and functional vests that are customized to the requirements of the operation.
• Backpacks and bags – Specially designed to carry equipment in harsh environments.
• Ballistic protection solutions – Since 2023, Eartsch has been manufacturing its own ballistic products for service dogs and security forces.
• Protective gear for maritime environments – Introduced in 2015 and designed to function in wet and salty conditions.

Quality and sustainability

All Eartsch products undergo rigorous testing to withstand the most extreme conditions. The company uses only certified materials and develops its products in collaboration with professionals in the military, police and security industries.
