Maligators Dog Training

Scared 4yo rescue went 2 Board & Train afraid of everything (ppl, being outside, going on walks, cars, butterflies, etc). This was our last resort to give him the life he deserved after trying a dog behaviorist, prescription anxiety meds, in home 1:1 dog training (not Maligators), smothering him w love, buying holistic dog anxiety scented plug ins (yeah, those don't work!), etc.... 1.5 years later he was still afraid to even go outside in our backyard nevertheless on a walk. After 4 wks w Joey & Christina at their amazing facility he is a confident, happy pup & off ALL prescription anxiety meds! We received frequent pics and vids of his progress while he was boarding/training and we could tell they truly cared about our little guy. He has been home w us for 3 weeks now and not a day goes by where where we aren't AMAZED by his transformation. Just today it was US having to call HIM inside as he was having so much fun just being a dog & playing ball & tug-of-war. ❤️ Joey and Christina changed our pup's quality of life (and ours!). You cannot go wrong by trusting them with your dog!

Christina and Joe are absolutely the best! We moved from a house to a condo and needed to get our 7 year-old miniature schnauzer Haddi Mae training in order to walk on a leash and minimize barking around others. Maligators more than exceeded our expectations. From the boarding process, to dealing with Haddi's medications, to bringing her home and providing training to us, the process was first class all the way. No matter what age or circumstances, Christina and Joe at Mailgators can and will deliver. Look no further if you want the best training for your dog! Thank you both for everything.

After struggling with our almost 2 year corgi, Darby, for several months we decided to call in the big dogs. Christina & Joe are awesome. From the very beginning, they were happy to answer our many, many questions & calm our nerves. They helped us decided what package might be best for our situation since they have several options. We loved that they were extremely flexible with the dates as well. Communication was fantastic, quick responses to texts & emails, along with great photo and video updates while he was gone. We noticed an IMMEDIATE difference once he came home. Absolutely worth the money because you get an incredible amount of knowledge & support even after the program. I highly recommend them!

I found my dog Benny during Hurricane Ian and after searching for his owners for a month, no one claimed him. I’m pretty sure he was abandoned. Benny was very rambunctious, peed in my house, didn’t listen, was out of control and it was a struggle just to walk him. He walked me. I dreaded taking him out. I got a dog walker twice a day and she couldn’t handle him either. She was getting hurt. None of us in the house could control him and I didn’t know how we could keep him because no one could handle him. I called many places that I found online and no one could help for months. I was on a waiting list just for a consultation. No one would actually talk to me. A friend recommended Christina so I called right away. To my surprise she answered the call herself. She was booked like everyone else but after explaining my situation, she made room for Benny. She was very understanding. We did the board and train for 3 weeks. She kept me updated with video and photos and reassured me of his progress. I honestly was skeptical about how this was going to work but it was my last resort. Benny’s return has been nothing short of wonderful. I’d say his transformation is a miracle. Simply amazing. He has the same fun loving personality but he has manners, he listens to his commands and he walks like an absolute DREAM. There is no tug on the leash, he literally walks by my side. I’m still in awe of this. It’s a pleasure taking him out and I enjoy him so much. He actually goes potty on command which is my favorite. I don’t know how they did it but I can tell you that Christina and Joey are miracle workers. They are kind and compassionate trainers and you can see how much Benny loves and respects them. He was treated very well and it shows. The cost was totally worth it. For what they have done for us, they deserve much more. I am very grateful to have found them.

I was a little hesitant at first because since my dog was a puppy she had never been in the care of someone else for weeks at a time. I can say that Christina did a great job with my puppy. She is much more obedient now, does not pull on leash, does not bark at other dogs/people while on leash like she would before. She would send updates and pictures which was reassuring! -Completely recommend Christina at Sit means Sit dog training!
