Our Story

Ugly Dog Daycare &Training started with a vision. This vision turned into an absolute dream and eventually became a reality. The man behind this vision is owner and operator, Fred Saber. His passion for new growth in business, great love for people, and expertise in the dog training industry thrived his most successful project thus far.

As you can see, there is nothing Ugly about this state-of-the-art facility. This poses the question that everyone has been asking, why the name? The term “Ugly Dog” derives from your bearded hunting breeds such as German Wirehaired Pointers, Spinone Italianos, and Wirehaired Pointing Griffons, etc. Essentially, these breeds built our business. If you don’t like the name, just remember it made you stop and think!

The Ugly Dog Experience.

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.
