We look after dogs from all over Genesee and Oakland counties and will be happy to give your dog the best possible boarding experience!

Why Choose Us?
Our Facility
Built on 20 acres of property, Ugly Dog Daycare & Training is one of Michigan’s largest. Featuring on site training, fenced-in play areas, and other top-notch amenities.
Our Programs
We’ll make sure your dogs will have plenty of time to play and socialize during their stay with us. Plus, if you’re using our boarding service, we can also train your dog if you wish.
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.
Our Experience
We’re a family-owned and operated business with decades of experience training dogs from Michigan and all over the United States.
Our Acceptance
We’re happy to accept dogs that have not been spayed or neutered! Just make sure they’ve had their vaccinations for rabies, distemper, and Bordetella.
Our Suites
Though your dogs won’t spend much time in their suites, they’ll be comfortable, happy, and healthy—all of our suites are designed to control contamination.


Lodging (Overnight Boarding): $55 PER DOG PER DAY
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!
