Crimson spire columnar oak leaning to one side at the top only. Having a heck of a time getting a hold of an arborist in my area.

My tree is two years old and is now leaning down at the top. My question is am I better of training this part of the tree off ? I tried supporting with thick dowel and anchoring to a post with wire.

I have attached some photos to show what I mean. If anyone has a solution that'd be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
 
It's got a long leader that needs some discipline pruning. I don't think it will straiten up and be sturdy enough to stay strait. Those lower 2 limbs may need to come off as well. I would look for a lower fork that has a leader that is pointed in the other direction from the way it's leaning.
