About The Shepherd Standard

Balanced trainers in Bountiful

The Shepherd Standard is a dog training business in Bountiful started by head trainer Olivia Woody. It describes its team as balanced trainers who personalize training for each dog rather than sticking to one method, and it works with all breeds, small to large, at any life stage. Its stated mission is to help people afford training for their service dogs, get started in dog sports, or get help with a struggling home companion, using balanced methods, patience and fun.

Services

Service dog training for people with disabilities includes board and trains, private lessons and temperament tests. Obedience classes and private lessons are customized to each owner and dog. Sport dog training introduces dogs to activities such as dock jumping, running a course or chasing a lure. Board and train lets dogs live and train with the team.
