Michigan Dog Training is not simply a place where dogs stay overnight. We are a professional dog-training company with decades of experience working with family dogs, puppies, service dogs, and dogs with customized training needs.
Our team understands that a boarding dog may feel differently in a new environment. Some dogs settle in quickly, while others need additional time, patience, or thoughtful handling. Our experience with canine behavior helps us recognize those differences and respond appropriately.
That professional knowledge is one of the reasons dog owners throughout Plymouth and surrounding Metro Detroit communities trust Michigan Dog Training with their dogs.

Boarding for Your Dog’s Individual Needs
Before boarding, our team will review the information needed to help determine whether our facility is an appropriate fit for your dog. This may include your dog’s health, vaccination status, feeding instructions, medications, behavior, handling needs, and history around unfamiliar people or dogs.
Please tell us about any:
- Medical conditions or medications (we do not charge extra for medication dispensing like some other companies)
- Food allergies or dietary requirements (we have a large freezer for those who feed raw food to their dog)
- Fear, anxiety, reactivity, or aggression concerns
- Bite or escape history
- Sensitivity to handling
- Special care instructions
- Recent illness or possible exposure to contagious disease
Accurate information helps our team plan for your dog’s safety and care. Dogs with significant medical or behavioral needs may require additional review before a reservation can be approved. For dogs who have not stayed with us before, we offer a complimentary behavior assessment for your dog to try out our boarding and daycare services.
Dog Boarding and Board & Train Are Different Services
Standard boarding provides professional care for your dog while you are away. Although it does not include a structured dog-training program or guarantee behavioral changes, our team reinforces good manners and commands your dog already knows throughout their stay.
Owners who want their dog to receive intensive professional training should ask about Michigan Dog Training’s Board & Train programs. These programs are designed around specific training goals and may address manners, obedience, leash walking, recall, impulse control, behavior concerns, or other individualized needs.
Our team can help you understand which service is the better fit for your dog and your goals.
