I now have the dog I wanted. UBDT taught my crazy Lab to be a well behaved pet. I would recommend this for anyone who wants a well trained pet.

I would recommend anyone to get their dog trained here. Ian did so good with ms Daisy. I couldn’t be happier honestly they exeeded my expectations and I got the best dog ever back.
They keep in touch and inform you of the process throughout. Tyce runs a really good program. Ian was the trainer assigned to my dog and he did a fantastic job of training my dog and keeping me informed. I dropped off chaos on four legs and picked up a dog that exceeded my expectations both in obedience and out in the field.
Tyce and Ian were both great, they treated our dog Arlo as if he was theirs with love and kindness. When we picked up Arlo you could tell he really liked Ian.

Tyce and Ian were both great, they treated our dog Arlo as if he was theirs with love and kindness. When we picked up Arlo you could tell he really liked Ian. Arlo went for some obedience training but mainly force fetch, fetch retrieve, hold and who. He has come along way in all areas. It's hard to have your pet gone so long but he really learned a lot and was in a caring environment. We could not be happier with the results and would recommend Utah Bird Dog Training to everyone
Tyce and his team trained my golden retriever. He is very well behaved now and I can’t speak highly enough about the results! I can’t wait to get him out in the field!
