The times of these monthly meetings does change to meet the needs of busy schedules!

MAPS Mondays

The MAPS Mondays Planning Session is a collaborative effort between C2C Canine Coaches, Yooper Paws of Love and Clovis Paws 4 Play. You must be a member of the C2C Patreon, Yooper Paws Patreon, or Clovis Paws for Play client in order to participate.

Each week we will have one topic that is sent out to Patreon Members and will be outlined by one or more C2C Coaches at the start of the Zoom Meeting. Then all participants will have time to work on creating or improving their training plan based on that week's topic. During this time, participants can talk through their plans getting support from all who attend.

Previous participants have enjoyed this low stress planning meetings with a chance to work out how the planning resources can help them. Several have enjoyed the accountability that comes from planning in a group and found value in talking about what parts of their plan isn't working for them.

The bigger picture is supporting each other so that we all feel good about the continuing training we do with our working dogs. Contact your Canine Coach to get the Zoom Info if you are struggling with finding it!

TEAM Task Support Program

The TEAM Task Weekly Zoom Meeting is set up to help SD Handlers working on training new tasks or building on existing tasks. Over the last year we've focused on the foundations that lead to many tasks such as retrieving objects, tugging open doors/drawers, pushing buttons and other skills for used for multiple tasks. We've watched participants enhance these foundations stronger tasks such as named item retrieves, laser guided retrieves, long distance retrieves, delivery tasks, tugging off clothing, assisting with laundry and so much more.

This year we are looking forward to expanding our educational resources as we begin to cover light mobility task such as forward momentum pull, sighted guide work such as "Find the Car!" counterbalance, and several other great mobility assist tasks. We will also be expanding our Medical Alerts section to cover more of the alerts that involve the dog seeing a behavior or hearing a noise that stimulates the need to alert. We already have scent based medical alerts in this section.

The TEAM Task Support Program is one of our signature Patreon Memberships with a current membership of $20 per month. Members receive access to previous lessons and new lessons coming out including video tutorials and written directions + plus access to the weekly zoom sessions. If you're not a member yet, you can sign up as a free member and read a few sample posts in the TEAM Task Support Program.

We do also offer a TEAM Puppy Membership with 6 great collections to take you all the way through the day you bring puppy home all the way through public access training.  This membership is currently closed but will be opening for a short window in February or March.

C2C Trainer Support Program

Our biggest and most frequently purchased membership is our C2C Trainer Support Membership for $30 per month. In this membership you basically have an all access pass to all our resources from puppy through tasks, access to all group zoom meetings and access to private sessions and a TEAM Training Roadmap that is individualized for your needs.

Many people plan to join this membership for 3-6 Months to work through the things they need the most help with. We have new materials and an amazingly supportive community which leads many members to  stay long term. 

Unlike many other programs, there is no requirement to stay for a year! Come when you can, leave when you want. Enjoy the judgement free zone while you're there!

Service Dog Handler Chats

We are kicking off the New Year with a very special guest who is going to help us create a plan for future SD Handler Chats that carry on meaningful conversations that support SD Handlers. Nathan Dunleavy is a Dog Pro Business Mentor who will be helping us to create a Podcast with CAKES.

Compassion, Awareness, Knowledge, Empathy & Support

This is something the SD Community has been asking for! With so many social media communities offering judgement and harsh criticism to other handlers, our mission is to change that making the C2C Working Paws Community one where everyone feels supported. SD Handler Chats always have been and always will be FREE to all Service Dog Handlers and Trainers.

Join us on January 21st at 9AM Pacific/11AM Central to help us build 2026 SD Handler Chats into the community conversation everyone is craving.

SD Handler Chats - Creating a Podcast with CAKES

Here are a few other FREE Resources for SD Handlers

The C2C Working Paws FB Community is where most of the conversation happens! This small FB group is a safe space for you to ask questions, share your training journey and join conversations with other dog owners. This group is open to any working paws teams including service dogs, therapy dogs, agency dogs, sport dogs...anyone working towards advanced obedience skills. 

The C2C Resources Community is where we share resources created by C2C Canine Coaches and other Dog Professionals who support Service Dog Teams. While this group was originally designed for trainers to share info with other trainers, anyone who loves to learn about new resources in the dog training world is welcome to join the group.
