About The Pack Indoor Dog Park, Restaurant and Bar

Primarily an indoor dog park, with training by appointment

The Pack describes itself as "Michigan's first indoor off leash dog park, restaurant, and bar," at 5205 W River Dr NE, Comstock Park, MI 49321. Training is one service among several: the site states training is available "By appointment. Available as 1:1 with owner present or as an add on service with daycare visit."

The trainer

Caily Ulrich is the named trainer. The site states she "graduated in 2021 with honors from Animal Behavior College" and "is certified in teaching obedience commands as well as the alleviation of common unwanted behaviors." Her published philosophy: "Creating a strong, trusting bond with your dog by being calm, consistent, and compassionate is the key to long lasting success when training." She keeps three dogs – River, Triton and Hades – and the site notes that "With two members of her pack being rescued, Caily has had the opportunity to work through various challenging behaviors."

The rest of the operation

Alongside training the business runs daycare ("Monday – Friday 7am-6pm", full or half day), the off-leash park (day passes listed at "$12" Monday to Thursday and "$15" Friday to Sunday, a "5 Visit Digital Punch Card $55" and "Unlimited Annual $350 /year"), and a restaurant and bar. Sunday closures apply in summer.

What this means for an owner

Ask whether group obedience classes are available. What is published is one-to-one training with the owner present, or training added to a daycare visit, inside a facility whose main business is supervised off-leash play.
