Our Training

The Ugly Dog approach is to train dogs to respect us and help you become a more confident owner with a dependable dog. In fact, we like to say we train both ends of the leash: you and your dog.

Booking Boarding for Your Dogs

Before contacting Ugly Dog about our dog boarding service, here are a few things to keep in mind:


  • We require all dogs boarding with us to have been vaccinated for Bordetella, Distemper, Rabies. A stool sample also needs to be tested negative (Fecal).
  • We accommodate dogs that have not been spayed or neutered.
  • Pick-up and drop-off times are available every day from 7am to 6pm. ‍
  • Client is automatically charged for the date of drop-off no matter what time dog(s) arrive. Ugly Dog is just like a HUMAN HOTEL. If you check-out your dog(s) before 11:00am, that results in no charge for that day.
  • While we keep dog food on site, we prefer you to bring the food you’d normally give your dogs to avoid potential digestive issues. There is an upcharge if you wish us to serve our in-house food rather than your own.
  • Ugly Dog is all inclusive - please do not bring blankets, beds, or toys from home as these are provided and sanitized daily.
  • We offer a 10% Military Discount as well as 10% Multi-Pet Discount when bringing three or more dogs to stay. Ask us about our loyalty punch cards!
