Jamie Robinson

Summary

Jamie Robinson, founder of Seize The Leash Canine Behavior Training in Tucson, Arizona, and Play Your Way to an Obedient Dog in Clearwater, Florida, has lived with and worked with dogs, cats, horses, and parrots for nearly 40 years. In the early days before the wealth of information on the internet, Jamie apprenticed under several local trainers in San Diego, Ca; Anchorage, Alaska; and Pinellas County, Florida. All those trainers were a variation of Monks of New Skete, Koehler, CW Meisterfeld, and Barbara Woodhouse. In the late 80’s to the early 90’s Jamie adopted an Australian Shepard named Princess. This led Jamie to explore the agility arena and she started learning new training techniques and methods of handling behavior issues. This started a journey now known as “crossing-over.” In 2004, Jamie moved to Tucson, Arizona and started developing a cutting edge philosophy and the methods to go along with it. This new methodology is called Structured Game Training and has its basis in the type of training done in the agility world, mostly by Susan Garrett. Structured Game Training lends itself to every aspect of training and behavior and creates a dog who can perceive and resolve the problems and puzzles of living in a human world.
