Owner & head trainer
How the work started
He grew up in Orem, Utah, in a family of outdoor enthusiasts. His dad bought him his first shotgun at twelve, a Browning BPS, and by eighteen he had worn it out bird hunting. At fifteen he had saved enough for his own duck boat and trained his first black lab.
He has been hunting pheasants, ducks, and big game with his dad and brothers for as long as he can remember. He loves waterfowl and upland, and big game — especially elk and deer — is another major passion. Much of the year is measured by whatever season is coming next.
That hunting life still shapes how he trains.
Family, dogs, and the rest of the year
At home, Tyce and his wife, Rachel, are raising their five kids in Utah, where dogs, hunting, and time outdoors are simply part of everyday life.
Alongside the training program, he and his family raise field-bred Golden Retrievers and a small number of pointing Lab litters each year — which is why genetics and training get treated here as one problem, not two.
