The Doggy Dojo is a family-centered dog training and rescue center based in Rocky Hill, Connecticut, offering training, play, and rescue services to dog owners. They provide personalized dog training programs tailored to each dog’s needs, whether the dog is a newly adopted rescue or a pedigreed puppy. Training occurs both at their brick-and-mortar facility, “The Dojo,” and in clients’ homes, making their services flexible and accessible. Their approach emphasizes understanding dog psychology and teaching owners how to communicate effectively with their pets to build trust and confidence. They also offer a community-focused environment with weekly events like the Sundae Social and a Learning Library for ongoing education. Their mission is to create well-balanced, stable-minded dogs and strengthen the human-canine bond through support, education, and compassion.

They specialize in behavior modification for reactive, fearful, or anxious dogs and offer hybrid training that combines in-home and facility sessions. They also provide a Board and Train service, though it is primarily reserved for rescue partners. The Doggy Dojo is led by Mike Scott, a trainer and behaviorist highlighted in reviews and on their profile, who works directly with clients to address specific behavioral challenges.

In addition to training, they offer apparel and equipment for sale, host community events, and partner with rescue organizations, reinforcing their commitment to the broader dog-owning community.
