Service Dog Training & Support

As a Service Dog Handler, I often get asked if I will train Service Dogs for other disabled people. Unfortunately I don't have the ability to take on puppies and fully train them, delivering a fully trained Service Dog to someone in need. I prefer to work directly with the person in need, more as a mentor & trainer, to assist people who want to owner train their own service dog. I provide Mentor Services both in-person and virtually to those who are owner training.

If you are new to Service Dog Training or want to learn the difference between Service Dogs, Therapy Dogs, and Emotional Support Animals, check out my SD Tips page!

Additional Service Dog Support

The C2C Working Paws FB Group is by far my most active group which is open to Service Dogs, Therapy Dogs, and any type of Working Dog team that trains to an advanced level. The Crazy2Calm Working Paws IG is also rapidly growing! We are dedicated to keeping these groups as a SAFE Space for Handlers to discuss all topics around working dogs. The Admin Staff are all Force Free, Games Based Trainers and are willing to help anyone who will follow our Kindness Code, treating both humans and dogs as individuals with compassion and understanding.

This is the group that hosts several Messenger Chat groups including the C2C TEAM Task Group, a Sales Group, and a Team of the Week Group. These chats are available for all C2C Working Paws members to participate int.

The Crazy2Calm Canine Coaches FB Page is also a great resource for training tips, SD PSA announcements and other great information that will be helpful to most SD Teams.

Online Classes

Service Dog Foundations Collection

This is for new handlers or those who will be training in new environments. In this class we cover the basic skills beyond basic obedience, that are helpful all Service Dogs Teams including tuck, navigating tight spaces, advocating for your SD, and building foundations for tasks.

Service Dog Public Access Collection

This class is designed to help the handler that is building up, making the transition from pet friendly spaces to public places that are not dog friendly. The Foundations Class builds on the Foundations Class, picking up where those basic skills are applied in public spaces. We walk you though all the skills necessary to become a C2C Evaluated SD Team.

TEAM Task Training Support Program

This is an ongoing collection with new resources added at least once per month. This is geared towards the handler that is currently task training their Service Dog and would like assistance in one or more tasks. We cover all the basics needed for many tasks such as retrieve games, tug for training games, and directional cue games. Then we put those foundations together with the actual training steps to develop the basic games into a trained task.

Members of the TEAM Task Training Support Program have access to 1-2 live training zoom sessions where direct access from Canine Coaches and other participants is available each week. In addition to the TEAM Task Collection, members also receive the Scent Based Medical Alerts Collection in this membership tier.

Scent Based Medical Alerts Collection

This class is designed to teach training scent based alerts for Migraine Alerts, Cardiac Alerts, & Diabetic Alerts and the MA Workgroup based on sight based alerts involving Seizure Alerts, Psychiatric Alerts, & other Interruption based Alerts. Both of these classes are available at a Work-At-Your-Own-Pace class

All of these collections can be found on the Crazy2Calm Patreon page as a stand alone collection or a low cost monthly membership.
