I sent my McNab dog “Rooster” to Ty to be started working livestock. He did a great job with Rooster and even helped me with lessons. Rooster has been helping on my ranch moving cows, bulls, calves, and pairs. I’m very happy with how Rooster has turned out and it helped having a great start with Ty.. I highly recommend Ty .. no

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ty does a fantastic job of training dogs. The number one thing that I like is that they come the instant I call them off the cattle 👍👍👍👍👍
