We have used Tip Top Tails twice and have been extremely pleased both times. The first time Mr. and…read moreMrs. B. hired Holly to help them with some separation anxiety their foster dog was experiencing. Holly was a wealth of knowledge and set out a clear plan that made it easy for my parents to follow. We were able to set up a simple schedule and re-set their daily routine to include Holly's training games which helped improve their foster's situation. Mr. MVP and I recently hired Kelly to help us with our senior Aussie and her dog park issues. We are members at Meadow Run and our senior Aussie, although a huge fan of the park, is not a fan of the wild puppies and the erratic running and playing. She has also grown very protective of our younger Aussie and started to get bossy when another pup wanted to play ball. Both of our Aussies know all their commands at home, but at the dog park it can be hit and miss. Kelly helped us set up easy and very reachable goals to work on with our senior girl to help her understand that playing dogs are just happy dogs and she has nothing to worry about. Her behavior improved almost instantly. Per Kelly's suggestion we also started working on commands more seriously at the park and both girls have been doing amazing. We picked Tip Top Tails above the other trainers in the area because they focus on positive reinforcement, only. I heard from a friend who used another training company that they use squirt guns to spray water when the dogs do something wrong and choke collars for correction we wanted absolutely nothing to do with that. Kelly and Holly use treats, positive commands and the jolly routine (which is something we had been using for about a year already, which was so nice to hear!). Holly met with Mr. and Mrs. B on a Sunday at their house and we met with Kelly at Meadow Run on a Saturday morning - both private lessons. Tip Top Tails has group lessons, puppy classes and a whole bunch of other class options. We just signed our youngest Aussie up for a private dock diving lesson next week at Meadow Run with Beth, another trainer at Tip Top. We would highly recommend Tip Top Tails as a training option. Mr. MVP and I have read all the books and done weeks of research and even though we knew a lot of the information Kelly shared with us, we still learned quite a bit.

From what we learned with Pam even just during the first training session my dogs changed so much! Pam taught us how to be the pack leaders. we train a few minutes every day and now my dogs obey consistently, walk without pulling, wait for food/treats, don't jump at people or constantly bark. I have well behaved dogs that can be in public, walk in crowds, and go with me anywhere we want to go. This was one of the best investments I've ever made. my dogs are happier and I feel confident my dogs won't have aggression issues. From the beginning Pam has been available and helpful, providing us great information, answering questions, hopping on calls, and coming back out for more training. Now, we get to do monthly pack walks with her and other clients to continue to instill good behavior and communicate effectively with our pups. If you feel like your dog is beyond help, or you just wonder if your dog will ever be able to go for a leash walk CALL PAM!

I would like to preface this by saying I love this store and the people there are GOOD people, but the bad review is about a product they carry. I purchased Dog Rocks to make my dogs' urine stop turning the grass yellow. These were heavily promoted by someone at the store as working, and they are not cheap. Well, they didn't work, and when I researched these online, not only did I find they are basically a huge scam, but I found that the reason for the discoloration on the lawn is caused by ammonia, which in turn is a result of NORMAL KIDNEY FUNCTION. So even if they worked, would I really want to give my dogs something that alters their kidney function just to make my grass look better? More research showed if they DO anything, they just filter the impurities from the water in the water dish, and do not change the ph level in my dogs' urine, which is determined by kidney function. I wish I had looked into this first and really thought it through before spending the money on them. And nice people at the store, please do your research. I know you care about animals and your customers, but I think someone pulled a fast one on you, and you should just stop selling these.

As a professional, shouldn't you check your work and ensure the animal is safe and comfortable?? Do NOT take your dog here because their lack of empathy and professionalism is sup par. I was truly disappointed.
