Tips for choosing the right name
A good name is not just pretty: it makes training and everyday communication easier. Keep these points in mind:
- Favor short names, one or two syllables, easy to call from a distance;
- Names that end in a vowel tend to be easier for a dog to recognize and respond to;
- Avoid names that sound like training commands such as no, sit or stay, so you do not confuse the puppy;
- Say the name out loud for a few days before you commit.
Common mistakes to avoid
Many people regret picking names that are too long or hard to say out on the street. Steer clear of names that rhyme with those of other pets or people in the house, to avoid confusion. And remember: the name will follow your friend for many years, so it is worth choosing calmly and with care.
