The UGLY DOG Experience

Located in Goodrich, our 13,000-square foot facility was built from the ground up to provide a unique experience for all breeds. Our team of training specialists and care providers pay close attention to each need so you as a pet owner can have piece of mind. Whether it's just for a few hours of daycare or a whole vacation of overnight boarding, each dog will have his or her own suite for rest and over 15 different play areas to socialize! Don't forget to inquire about our comprehensive training programs as well as professional grooming services.

Dog Daycare

Whether you have to leave your dog with us for half a day or need a more long-term daycare solution, Ugly Dog has you covered at our state-of-the-art facility.

Dog Boarding

For your dog, an extended stay at our facility is almost like booking him or her a vacation with friends. Just provide us with a container full of your dog’s food, and we’ll handle the rest.

Dog Training Classes

We’ve developed a series of robust training programs covering everything from general obedience to specialties, including therapy, deer tracking, waterfowl, and more.

Dog Grooming

“Ugly Dog” may be in our name, but your dog certainly won’t look “ugly” after a grooming appointment at our facility.

What is an "Ugly Dog?"

When most people think of an “ugly dog,” they probably don’t have breeds like German wirehaired pointers, Pudelpointers, wirehaired pointing griffons, and other bearded hunting dogs in mind. They aren’t likely to win an “ugliest dog” content anytime soon. But the term “ugly dog” is actually an affectionate nickname for these hunting dogs—and our own name, Ugly Dog Daycare & Training, is a tribute to the breeds our family has spent decades training for hunting, competitions, and more.
