We come over and play with your dog.
Trainer-led play at home, from a team of professional dog trainers. A kind visitor plays fetch, tug, and games with your dog, so they're happy, calm, and better behaved, and you don't have to keep up.
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.
Fun for your dog. Good manners for life.
Every game has rules: wait before the throw, drop it, come when called. Your dog learns while having the best part of their day, so their manners get better, not worse.
The apps send whoever's free. We send our own team, led by professional dog trainers with years of experience.
- Wait before the throw builds patience and self-control.
- Drop it keeps the game going, and keeps socks and shoes safe.
- Come when called wins the next round, and gives you a dog you can always get back.
- Progress in every recap: "Max waited for the ball 10 times today."
Playtime, delivered to your door.
No driving, no holding a leash. We come to you, play with your dog, and leave them happy and tired.

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.
