They did a great job training my dog. He was more obedient after his time at UBDT. Tyce also spent time with me on how to use the commands and be effective with using my e-collar.

Great group of guys! They took a knuckleheaded 6mo old red fox lab and turned him into an amazingly obedient hunting dog. He heels, sits, stays in his place, and comes when called. He sits still when a bird is downed until you say his name and he takes off like it's the last retrieve he will ever do. Then, he brings it back to heel and drops it in my hand. He was a bit of an embarrassing dog before I dropped him off and now my kids can walk him and my wife is warming up to him. Thank you Orlyn and the guys!
Amazing - Tyce and the rest of the staff were amazing. Responsive and excellent. Most importantly my dog was returned at a high level of training. Impressive results. Very happy we brought our dog back to him after purchasing him from Tyce’s breeding program. Thank you!
Tyce and his team of trainers are the best! Red is the second dog I’ve had trained by Tyce and I wouldn’t trust anyone else to train my hunting dogs. Thank you Tyce and team for another great experience.
