Work with guide dogs
Sammel and her family have been active at fostering future guide dogs, from infancy through puppyhood until they are ready to go on to more intensive training with The Seeing Eye as a guide dog.{{r|pastimes|delco}}
With a student, Emily Bray, Sammel studied the effects of dogs' mothers' behavior on the dogs. Their work showed that dogs with overly-attentive mothers tended to be less effective as guide dogs,
and less successful at completing guide dog training.{{r|tough}}{{ran|PNAS}}
