Welcome to Crazy2Calm Canine Coaches
Crazy2Calm Canine Coaches is a collaborative effort, bringing together Trainers, Team Coaches, and Behavior Consultants who share a commitment to ethical, force-free training. Our coaches create and share high-quality resources designed to help owners and their dogs become the best team they can be—without the use of aversive tools that cause pain.
At Crazy2Calm, we believe every team can reach their full potential. Through our network:
We educate owners to engage better with their dogs.
We empower teams to achieve their goals through motivation and individualized training.
We help create a partnership where handler and dog function seamlessly as a team.
Our approach emphasizes kindness, positive reinforcement, and science-based methods to teach behaviors that are desired in everyday life while reducing unwanted behaviors.
Located in Northern Michigan’s scenic Upper Peninsula, Yooper Paws of Love is owned by Penny Beeman, who has over 30 years of experience working with dogs. Penny’s journey began with her family pets and expanded to rescue dogs, service dogs, and helping friends and families.
Penny specializes in large breed working dogs and uses her Service Dog, Azul, to demonstrate skills, build confidence in young dogs, and strengthen handler-dog teamwork. Her training philosophy combines teamwork, games-based learning, and individualized plans, always using force-free, science-based methods.
She holds a Certificate in Advanced Animal Behaviors from ILLIS ABC and works with clients training Service Dogs, Therapy Dogs, and other working dogs to maintain manners and reliability in public environments. Penny also provides Behavior Consults and leads the Challenging Behaviors Workgroup, developing workshops and mini-classes to help owners address alternative and challenging behaviors creatively.
Cindy Campbell is based in Clovis, California, and hosts Clovis Paws for Play. Cindy grew up surrounded by animals and discovered force-free training through clicker training with her Newfoundland, Sprockett. She is a Pro Dog Trainer through Absolute Dogs and continues her education through advanced programs. Cindy works with her Service Dog, Nick, and Great Pyrenees, Pau, to teach and demonstrate training skills. She coordinates the TEAM Puppy Classes & Membership, following up on the SD Foundations Class created in 2022.
Ashlynn Holt has been training dogs for nearly 8 years with her owner-trained Service Dog, Lilly, and her young SDIT, Daisy. Ashlynn uses a wheelchair in public due to a condition that affected her mobility as a toddler. Her training expertise focuses on mobility and independence, ensuring handlers and dogs can thrive together. She leads the Wheelchair Workgroup, developing resources to support teams in similar situations and sharing knowledge through our collaborative network.
Our team is supported by skilled moderators with experience training their own Service Dogs. They assist with admin roles in virtual classrooms and help maintain the collaborative resources within the C2C Canine Coach network.
