About Coach Wags

Who runs it

Coach Wags Dog Training is run by Todd Regan, whose about page is headed "About Todd Regan and Coach Wags Dog Training" and signs off "Todd Regan / Owner/Trainer." It is written in the first person: "Hey, I'm Todd. Coach Wags Dog Training helps dogs and owners work through the behavior problems that make everyday life harder than it needs to be." The site's address is "1 Head Street, Edgerton, WI 53534."

Where the work happens

The home page is explicit about the service area and the format: "Most private training is offered in-home in Edgerton, Madison, Janesville, and nearby communities. Day Camp and select one-on-one services are offered at my home-based training location in Edgerton." The about page frames in-home work as the point rather than a convenience: "Private training helps your dog learn where behavior actually happens: at home and in your neighborhood."

What you can book

Three lanes are described on the home page. Private Obedience is "For dogs who need help with manners, leash skills, recall, impulse control, settling, and more reliable listening at home or on walks." Behavior Consulting is "For dogs dealing with bigger behavior concerns like reactivity, fear, anxiety, overarousal, resource guarding, barking, or behavior that feels harder to manage." Day Camp is "For dogs who need more structure, enrichment, movement, training, and decompression during the day in a one-on-one setting," built around the tagline "Train. Play. Relax." The training page details Training Camp, where "Each session is 3 hours and is offered one dog at a time, unless two dogs from the same household are approved together," mixing "obedience and skill-building exercises," "focus and engagement work," "confidence-building exercises," "enrichment and scent-based activities" and "decompression walks and quiet relaxation time." A free introductory call is offered: "Schedule a complimentary phone call with Coach Wags to discuss your goals, ask questions, and explore the available training options."

Method, in the site's own words

"My training is based on positive reinforcement, but it is also structured, clear, and realistic for the dog and owner in front of me. I look at the dog's routine, environment, stress level, and learning history so the plan makes sense for that home." The about page calls this "A Relationship-Based Approach" and says "I do not use one-size-fits-all training."
