Meaning & Story
Coach is an English word from the Hungarian kocsi, a vehicle from Kocs, Hungary, referring to someone who trains or instructs others. As a pet name, it carries authoritative leadership energy, particularly popular for dogs who seem to take it upon themselves to organize the household.
Coach is a name for the dog who has decided he is in charge of training everyone else — including you. The leadership associations are immediate and delightful, and there is something genuinely amusing about a dog who takes his organizational responsibilities seriously. Beyond the humor, Coach has a strong, clean sound that works well for training and suits a confident, alert breed. It also has an American sporting culture connection that gives it a wholesome, team-player quality.
