We come over and play with your dog.
Play with a purpose. A professional dog trainer designs your dog's playtime: every game is chosen for a goal, like burning energy, building focus, or calming down, and every game has rules, so your dog's manners get better, not worse.

This is what real play looks like.
Running, chasing, and big happy zoomies. Dogs love this kind of play, and our trained adult visitors bring that same energy to every visit, so your dog ends the day tired, calm, and content.
Every game is chosen for a goal.

100+ dog owners already trust Scott's team.
Play With My Dog is brand new, but our team isn't. In the past year, more than 100 clients have reviewed The Snake School, Scott's rattlesnake-avoidance training for dogs. Here's what a few of them said on Google.

Scott is one of the nicest guys imaginable. My dogs took to him right off and the training is exceptional. Both my dogs are older so their senses do not allow them to respond to all the stimuli right away but I was blown away by the way Scott adapted the training to give them the best protection possible.

My dog doesn’t go to people she doesn’t know, but they were all so nice that my dog was very comfortable. Scott was very knowledgeable and helpful. I now feel better about my dog going out with me.

Scott and his crew run a super professional business. We couldn’t be happier with the entire experience, and our dogs had a great time also.
