Huge shoutout to Mikal! When we started, our 2 year old Shepherd-mix Sidious struggled with obedience, recall, aggression toward men and other dogs, and even basic walks were stressful and unpredictable.

Mikal & the Tip Top K9 team are heaven sent! Bucky is my first dog and I was in over my head, looking for so many trainers but making sure it was done in an effective, loving way and we’re beyond happy!

Can’t recommend them enough!
