2025 Planning for Success

 Planning for Success in 2025

The Crazy2Calm Canine Coaches are building our network and enlisting the help of Service Dog Handlers that are committed helping our team and other SD Handlers through the training processing. As lives change so does the list of Canine Coaches that volunteer to make this Collaborative better for all who participate! Here is a current list of those who continue to provide resources through Crazy2Calm

Penny Beeman, Yooper Paws of Love & Cindy Campbell, Clovis Paws for Play are the 2 lead Canine Coaches preparing most educational resources and overseeing the C2C Canine Coach Collaborative.

Ashlynn Holt is the Social Media Coordinator.

Michael Chulapa provides blog posts and video content.

And our newest Canine Coach is Julie Wilson who assists Cindy in projects and provides social media content. 

We are also working with Robin Armstrong & Athena Grailer who will be joining the efforts of writing blog posts, preparing educational materials, and social media materials.

Help us in thanking these people for all they will do to support the C2C Collaborative in 2025!

TEAM Task Training Program

This is the new C2C Patreon Member Training Support Program that we will be starting in January 2025!

If you want to learn how to use games based, ethical dog training to teach your Service Dog new tasks that can mitigate your disability, then this is your program!

This group will meet twice a week beginning January 14th to work on teaching SD/SDiT's how to do tasks. We will be following the TEAM CAKES approach with by Teaching & Empowering handlers to Achieve training goals & Motivate each other. We will be training using Compassion, Awareness, Kindness & Empathy to provide support to all TEAMS!

Every Tuesday at 6:30PM Pacific/8:30PM Central we will be hosting a Zoom Training Session open to all C2C Working Paws Group Members & C2C Patreon Members (all levels). In this TEAM Task Meeting Canine Coaches will provide some educational content about the task of the week then some games to play to teach the foundations of that task. Participants are encouraged to try the games during the meeting if they would like instant feedback. Then we will have an open chat to answer answer questions or provide assistance with a problem participants are having. The beginning training portion of this meeting will be recorded for those who are not able to participate live. The hands on portion will not be recorded for privacy of the participants.

Check out this sample training session that Penny & Belle had to work on the Forward Momentum Pull Task.

There are many more sample videos available on our YouTube Channel.

Every Friday at 2:00PM Pacific/4:00PM Central we will be hosting an additional Zoom Training Session for members of Patreon in the TEAM Task Training Membership & Trainer Support TEAM Membership. During this Zoom meeting we will be enhancing the games, showing members who to transition from playing the game to achieving results with the task. Portions of this will be recorded, however participants can request that the recording be turned off at any time as some conversation may be extremely personal.

The cost is $10 per month with a suggested membership period of 6 months to train most tasks completely. (Just $60 total) Membership provides access to all resources generated over the 6 month period. Canine Coaches have experience teaching medical alerts, mobility tasks, and a wide variety of tasks designed to mitigate multiple disabilities. Members will choose the tasks we focus on each month. 

Registration is now open through January 31st or until all spots are filled!
