Jamie has a variety of dogs that have been extensively trained whose owners she can call on to bring their dog to Petsmart to assist in training - a new trainer or another dog or another class; Penny is occasionally called on which I believe is not only good for the needed assistance but also good for Penny's exposure, thank you Jamie.

Penny to serves as the "stimuluis dog" as Jamie works with Marcia's test-ready dog, Muffin... Marcia and Muffin were practicing becoming a Therapy Dog registered with the Pet Partners Organization. Muffin needed to be petted by different people and walk by a dog without trying to go to them for sniffing, she needed to learn to "leave it", she also needed to learn to listen to her "handler" Marcia. These are 3 of the things, besides a few others she had difficulties with when she tried to pass the test the first time for Pet Partners. SO she worked with Jamie in some private sessions on those things she needed to "tweak" or adjust. We're hoping she will do much better next time. ...
