Naming your puppy is a big deal. It is the name that it will have and respond to its whole life. Here are some tips when naming your dog:
- Chose a name with two syllables. These are the easiest to say and short enough to get your dog’s attention.
- Consider a name with hard consonants. For example, Bonnie or Brady.
- Try not to choose a name that sound similar to a command like Kit which sounds a lot like sit or Bo which sounds like no.
- When a dog hears her name it is a signal that whatever is next is meant for her. Try to use her name is a positive context. Abby, good girl!
- Don’t use a name that should a lot like another family member.
