Teaching Your Dog’s Name

To teach your dog its name, you’ll need some treats and a little patience. You can follow along with our video below or read through these simple steps:

1. Get some small treats, or break a larger treat into small pieces.
2. Say your dogs name and see if they respond to it.
3. If they do, give them a treat.
4. Keep the treats on you and continue to practice the name recall multiple times per day.
5. Slowly, your dog will learn their new name and eventually will respond without needing a treat.
