Dog Training Programs
Board and Train
Our Board & Train program is our most popular option of all our curriculums, it’s designed for owners who just don’t have enough time in the day to train their dogs or may be going out of town for an extended period of time. During the Board & Train, your pup will stay at our Home Scenario Based Training Facility with overnight staff and cameras to ensure your pups safety. We will be promoting their best behavior while teaching them new skills and commands. Once this training is over, we show you how to continue and encourage this behavior at home, creating the most successful results.
Private Lessons
Our Private Training Lessons are designed for owners who want to be fully involved with their dog’s training progress. While your pup is learning new obedience skills, you’ll be learning right alongside them on how to effectively continue this training for the best success.
These lessons are also completely individualized and customized to your dog's specific needs and any goals you’d like to set. We walk you through a program that will last a lifetime for your dog!
Puppy Training
For Puppies 5 Months and under
Let us help to make sure your new puppy is off to the right start. This program teaches the puppy to engage with the owner and makes the training fun. Using food and positive luring techniques we teach the puppy the skills needed so we can successfully integrate them into the household and give you the confidence and peace of mind knowing that we will help you every step of the way.
Group Classes
Our Group Classes are offered with some of our training packages or you can add them on to any training package. Your dog must first complete training with us or have a temperament evaluation which can be done at our training facility for a $60 charge.
Board and Review
Our Board and Review program is for clients who have already completed training with us. It’s best for owners who may be going on vacation and want their dog’s training skills to be maintained or fine-tuned. They’ll be able to experience playtime with other dogs along with daily training sessions or daily walks that’ll keep their social and obedience skills in check. If there is anything you would like us to work on just let us know!
AKC Canine Good Citizen™
The AKC Canine Good Citizen™ (CGC) program provides a perfect framework for training your dog to become a polite member of society. The 10 test items on the CGC test are practical, functional behaviors that every dog should have to be welcomed in the community. We can practice the skills needed at the private lessons or at our weekly group classes.
Testimonials & Reviews
Best decision I made was to send Maverick to the 3 week Board and Train program. Christina, Joey and the entire team are fantastic! Maverick has come a long way and I trust the team with him anytime I’m away or if he needs a refresher.
If you have a pet that needs more than just the basics I recommend Maligators 100%! I’ve had many dogs but never had a dog with leash reactivity until now… I tried multiple trainers but Maligators was the first I found that dedicated time to get to know my pup & his personality to design
We left our obstinate, stubborn, sweet baby with Christina for the 3 week board/train program. What we got back was a sweet and obedient dog. I highly recommend this program to anyone needing dog training. (Lots of ongoing support as well!)
