SD Public Access Class

 Crazy2Calm Service Dog Public Access Class

This class is designed to help Owner Trainers have a smooth transition between training in pet friendly environments to training in NON PET environments such as grocery stores, medical appointments, and public places that typically do not allow dogs.

The Crazy2Calm Canine Coaches are pleased to now offer this self study class that includes some work at your own pace classroom materials, pre-recorded class videos, demonstration videos and Canine Coach Support via email or the C2C Working Paws FB Group.  In this class we go over the basic laws that impact Service Dogs, the basic skills and manners that is appropriate for all Service Dogs, and the finer points of making this transition successful for both the Handler and the Service Dog in Training. 

The SD Public Access Class is a designed as a follow up class to the SD Foundations Class. The Foundations Class goes over how to teach important skills such as basic targets, basic positioning (heel, middle, tuck), leash manners, stay/settle, and recall. While we highly suggest you start with the Foundations Class, it's not required.

The Public Access Class is designed to help the student figure out where and when to use those skills more successfully in public spaces. We will go over common challenging topics such as dealing with the public and other general Service Dog Etiquette info. We also offer a Public Access Skills Evaluation at the end of the class. Students can use this evaluation as a form of self assessment or submit documents for evaluation by 2 or more Canine Coaches. While it is not required by ADA for Service Dogs to be certified by an organization, we feel that many teams value the ability to say that a 3rd Party Organization provided an assessment of skills. Therefore we will not be offering a "certification" that your dog is a Service Dog, but will be offering an Evaluation Checklist and Certificate that states your Team has been evaluated and meets the ethical skills & manners of a Service Dog Team.

(While this review and evaluation process is offered to the students in this class, it is not required to complete the class. The evaluation process is also available to SD Teams that are not taking this class!)

There are 6 total Topics with 3-5 lessons in each topic. We suggest you spend about 2 weeks per topic to review the info, do the training with your dog and turn in the homework assigned. At that pace you can complete the class in just 3 months. 

The cost of this class is $150 which includes all classroom materials and 1-on-1 chats with the trainer.  You will have access to the virtual classroom materials for 1 year after the start of the class.
