- [8 Steps to Help Stop Your Dog from Jumping on People](https://coachwagstraining.com/stop-dog-jumping-on-guests/): Jumping is one of the most common complaints I hear from dog owners. Guests come over, and the dog goes from calm to completely over the top. They rush the door, jump on people, paw at clothes, scratch arms, bark, mouth hands, or bounce around like they have no idea what to do with all that excitement. For some dogs, it starts as a social greeting. They are excited, happy, and trying to get closer to the person walking in. For others, it becomes a bigger problem because they have never been taught how to handle greetings in a more […]
- [Winter Dog Behavior Problems: Why It Happens and How to Fix It](https://coachwagstraining.com/winter-dog-behavior-problems/): Winter can be one of the toughest seasons for dog parents. Cold temperatures, icy sidewalks, shorter days, and unpredictable weather can throw routines off fast — and that’s when winter dog behavior problems often show up. Dogs may refuse to potty in the snow, walks become inconsistent or unsafe, and behaviors you thought were handled start popping back up indoors. If winter feels harder with your dog, you’re not imagining it — and your dog isn’t being stubborn either. Behavior is always influenced by environment, and winter changes the environment in a big way. At Coach Wags Dog Training, we […]
- [50 Treats to a Better-Behaved Dog: Mastering SMART x50 for Everyday Wins](https://coachwagstraining.com/50-treats-to-a-better-behaved-dog-mastering-smart-x50-for-everyday-wins/): I recently worked with a client whose energetic Labrador mix, Roxie, was a nightmare to recall from the backyard, chasing squirrels and ignoring calls every time. Frustrated, she tried the SMART x50 method I recommended: portioning 50 tiny treats daily and rewarding those fleeting good behaviors, like glancing back or pausing mid-sniff. Within days, Roxie started checking in more, and by two weeks, her recalls were reliable with just a cue. No more yelling or bribes. It’s moments like these that remind me why positive reinforcement transforms lives, simple, effective, and bond-building. What is SMART x50? “What if the secret […]
- [How To Stop Attention-Seeking Barking](https://coachwagstraining.com/how-to-stop-attention-seeking-barking-help-your-dog-relax-and-liste/): Picture this: you’re on a work call or scrolling through your phone when suddenly your dog starts barking nonstop. You look over, say “Shh!”, or toss a toy to quiet them down. Problem solved… or so it seems. That right there is attention-seeking barking. It’s your dog’s way of saying, “Hey, notice me!” They’ve learned that barking gets a reaction, any reaction. And to them, even a “quiet!” counts as attention. What Attention-Seeking Really Means Attention-seeking barking isn’t about fear or aggression. It’s simply communication that’s been reinforced over time. Every time your dog barks and you respond—whether with eye […]
- [What does a Marker Word do, anyway?](https://coachwagstraining.com/what-does-a-marker-word-do-anyway/): What is a Marker Word? One of the most effective and often overlooked tools in dog training is something straightforward: a marker word. It’s your instant way of saying, “Yes! That’s exactly what I wanted!” Think of it as a verbal high-five that tells your dog, nailed it. When used correctly, a marker word can dramatically speed up learning, boost your dog’s confidence, and make your training sessions more fun and productive for both of you. But here’s the key: timing. For your dog to truly understand what they did right, the marker needs to occur immediately after they exhibit the behavior. […]
- [Building Engagement](https://coachwagstraining.com/building-engagement/): Let’s explore a crucial element of effective dog training that can elevate your sessions from routine to remarkable: the art of engagement. In this context, engagement refers to the strength of the bond between you and your dog, where your dog isn’t simply obeying commands but is genuinely eager to take part in the learning process. Before you do any training of formal commands, you want to build engagement with your dog. Engagement is key if you want your dog to pay attention and take directions. We want to show our dog that we are the most important thing, that […]

- [Enrichment Camp](https://coachwagstraining.com/enrichment-camp/): EnrichmentCamp What Enrichment Camp Looks Like Enrichment Camp gives dogs a more meaningful outlet than a quick walk, a trip to the dog park, or time spent in a busy group setting. It is a 3-hour, one-on-one experience built around movement, mental stimulation, natural dog behaviors, and time to settle in a calmer environment. Rather than focusing on formal training goals, Enrichment Camp gives dogs healthy, enriching ways to use their body and mind. During their time with Todd, dogs may sniff, explore, search, chase, tug, problem-solve, forage, or take part in other activities that match what they enjoy and […]
- [Training Camp](https://coachwagstraining.com/training-camp/): TrainingCamp What Training Camp Looks Like Training Camp gives dogs a more structured and productive experience than regular daycare. Each session is 3 hours and is offered one dog at a time, unless two dogs from the same household are approved together. Some of the training simply gives dogs a meaningful way to use their brain. This may include basic obedience skills, training games, trick training, or other activities that help build focus and keep them mentally involved. For dogs already working toward a specific goal with Coach Wags, Training Camp can also support that plan. Todd may use part […]
- [Adolescent Foundations](https://coachwagstraining.com/adolescent-foundations/): Adolescent Foundations Welcome to Adolescent Foundations If your dog has started feeling harder to manage lately, you are not alone. Adolescence is one of the biggest transition periods dogs go through, and it is often the stage where owners start feeling frustrated, overwhelmed, or like things are suddenly going backwards. Dogs that used to listen well may start pulling harder on walks, ignoring cues, jumping on people, struggling to settle, or getting distracted by everything around them. This stage can feel confusing because your dog may already know some skills, but using those skills consistently in everyday life becomes harder […]
- [Good Manners](https://coachwagstraining.com/good-manners/): GoodManners Welcome to Good Manners Welcome to Good Manners. If your adult dog needs better structure, clearer expectations, and more consistent behavior, you are in the right place. A lot of adult dogs are not bad dogs. They are dogs that never had a clear foundation, enough consistency, or enough practice with everyday life skills when habits were forming. Over time, those small gaps can turn into bigger frustrations at home, on walks, or around guests. That can show up as pulling on leash, jumping on people, barking, ignoring cues, struggling to settle, poor recall, or doing their own thing […]
- [Rescue Foundations](https://coachwagstraining.com/rescue-foundations/): RescueFoundations Welcome to Rescue Foundations If you recently adopted a rescue or shelter dog, welcome. You are in the right place. Bringing home a rescue dog can be exciting, but the adjustment period is not always easy for the dog or the owner. Every dog comes from a different background, and every dog handles change differently. Some settle in quickly. Others need more time, structure, and support before they feel comfortable in their new home. A rescue dog may be adjusting to a completely different routine, new people, new animals, new rules, and a home they do not fully understand […]
- [Day Camp](https://coachwagstraining.com/day-camp/): Coach WagsDay Camp A Better Kind of Day for Your Dog Coach Wags’ Day Camp in Edgerton, WI, offers 3-hour Training Camp and Enrichment Camp sessions designed around your dog’s individual needs. Day Camp is offered one dog at a time, so each dog gets a calm, focused, and personal experience. Two dogs from the same household may attend together if they are a good fit for the same session. This is not a busy group daycare setting. Each session gives your dog a thoughtful mix of training, enrichment, movement, play, and calm time based on the camp option selected. […]
- [Behavior Consulting](https://coachwagstraining.com/behavior-consulting/): BehaviorConsulting   Welcome to Behavior Consulting If you are here, chances are you are dealing with something that feels bigger than a basic training problem, and you are not sure what the next step should be. Maybe your dog is reactive on leash, struggling with fear or anxiety, guarding food or spaces, showing signs of aggression, or shutting down in situations that feel hard to manage. Behavior consulting is for dogs and owners who need more than basic obedience or everyday manners training. These are the problems that can make daily life feel stressful, confusing, or difficult to plan around. […]
- [Obedience](https://coachwagstraining.com/obedience/): PrivateObedience When the Dog You Have Needs a Different Approach Many dog owners set out to handle obedience training on their own, and sometimes that path leads to success. But often, the dog they have now—whether a puppy, an adolescent, a rescue, or an adult calls for more than just the same old methods. They need clearer guidance, a bit more structure, or a different approach tailored specifically to them. What worked beautifully with a previous dog may not be the right fit for the dog they have today. Each is unique, with their own story and needs. This doesn’t […]
- [Puppy Head Start](https://coachwagstraining.com/puppy-head-start/): PuppyHead Start Welcome to Puppy Head Start! If you have a new puppy at home, welcome. You are in the right place. Puppy Head Start is a private puppy training program designed for puppies during the early stages of development. The first few months are exciting, but they can also feel like a lot. Potty accidents, crate training, puppy biting, chewing, jumping, and nonstop energy can make it hard to know what to focus on first. Puppies are learning all the time, even when we are not officially training. They are learning where to potty, how to use their mouth, […]

- [FAQ & Policies](https://coachwagstraining.com/faq-policies/): Frequently Asked Questions Does “rewards-based training” mean I will always have to use treats with my dog? Not at all! The rewards foster the motivation to continue practicing new behaviors your dog acquires; this facilitates the development of a solid foundation in a significantly shorter period. Part of the reward-based training process involves gradually “fading” or reducing the amount of the reward as your dog becomes more proficient at performing the behavior. Providing frequent rewards at the outset of training ensures your dog associates positive feelings with new behaviors from the beginning, making them more eager to learn and more […]
