SD Handler Chat Replays

The Crazy2Calm Canine Coaches are ending our SD Handler Chat Series.

We started the SD Handler Chats before we even had the Collaborative name of Crazy2Calm Canine Coaches, now commonly referred to as the C2C Canine Coaches. Originally the chat was a way to build the collaborative with Canine Coaches sharing their tips and tricks for the topics. That led to pulling in special guests to talk with us on many topics. And after 3 years, we feel that we have a wide variety of resources available for SD Handlers at all levels.

A recording of the chats from 2023 can be found on YouTube!

This is a Private Group that is open for all Service Dog Handlers, Therapy Dog Handlers, Sport Dogs, and any working dog with an advanced training expectation.  If you are not a member of the C2C Working Paws, you can request to join and answer the membership questions.

We give a heartfelt thanks to all the special guests and SD Handlers that have joined us in these chats over the last 3 years. It's been great getting to know so many awesome SD Handlers. And don't worry we will be bringing a new format of conversation to the SD Community in the very near future!
