If I could give 10 stars, I would! Oliver and his Tip Top K9 crew took our 18 month old German Shepherd mix boy for 8 nights. Oliver picked him up and delivered him back to our home. From the first time he met our dog , Willy, they were both exceptionally happy and comfortable with each other. We have had Willy for most of his 18 months, as he was abandoned and we found him in our foyer at approximately 6-8 weeks old. He has been full of love and excitement since then. Our problem areas of concern were that he was a jumper on to people and he was an excessive barker when anyone came near our front door. We were afraid he might seriously hurt someone with his energy, his excitement and his 60+ pounds. The day Oliver brought Willy back, we were braced for his excitement and expected some jumping at least. Willy came out of the truck and ran to us and kept his 4 paws on the ground. He didn't jump on either of us. This was miraculous to us. He was so happy to see us but was able to not jump. We were in awe. Oliver came in the house and then out to the yard and taught us what he had taught Willy to do. Willy was a new dog really. He knew OFF, COME, PLACE, RELEASE and SIT. Even in his excitement, he was able to follow these commands for Oliver, then for me and then for my husband. We were beside ourselves with joy. We love him so much and so hoped we could get to this point. After Oliver left, we hoped this behavior would continue. We expected some mistakes, but prayed we wouldn't lose ground with him. It is now 3 days that Willy has been home. We continue to work with him and are continuing to see his new and great behavior. Nobody has come to the door yet, but we believe we will be able to have success then too. Willy is happy. Our two small dogs are happy. We are beyond happy. In addition to the training at Tip Top K9 Camp, we will be able to attend Saturday group trainings for free and for life. We are so thrilled that we had this exceptional outcome. We hoped before, expected some improvement, but what we see is a whole new world with Willy's ability to listen and respond so well. Again, we can't say enough! Terry & Dean
