Supporting Service Dog Handlers with CAKES

Classes are open to all Working Dogs including Service Dogs, Therapy Dogs, Agency Dogs & Sport Dogs.

At Crazy2Calm Canine Coaches, we believe success begins with a strong partnership between handler and dog. Our force-free, science-based approach helps teams develop the confidence, communication, and real-world skills needed to navigate life together.

Every lesson in this course is built around our CAKES Framework using Compassion, Awareness, Knowledge, Empathy, and Support. Rather than simply teaching behaviors, we help you understand why your dog behaves the way they do, how to build lasting skills through positive experiences, and how to strengthen the trust that allows your team to thrive in challenging environments.

From public access foundations and advanced obedience to generalizing task training in real-world situations, our goal is to empower you with practical training strategies that help both you and your dog become a safe, calm, and happy working team.
