How Do You Pick the Right Name?

It can be hard to choose a name for your new canine companion. We have a way to help!

Over the years, we’ve been fortunate enough to help millions of pup parents in their name search. Along the way, we’ve picked up a few tips and tricks we’d like to share.

When you find a name, it’s a good idea to ask yourself the following:

• How easy is it to say? Before finalizing a name, make sure it’s easy to say out loud. Some names that sound perfect on paper end up being tough to pronounce.
• Does it match your dog? The perfect name will go along with a dog’s demeanor personality and appearance. Ask yourself, does the name seem like the right fit for your furry friend?
• Does everyone agree on it? If you have other people in your household, make sure they’re on board with the name. After all, they’ll be saying it day in and day out, too.
• Does it feel right in your gut? When you find just the right moniker for your pup, you’ll know it.

Teach Your Dog Their Name – Quickly!

You can pick the perfect name but there’s just one challenge: Your dog doesn’t know it yet.

Teaching the name to your dog might sound intimidating, but in truth, it’s actually quite easy.

These steps will make it a smooth and straightforward process.

• First things first, prepare. Grab some small treats for positive reinforcement and then find a space that’s quiet and distraction-free.
• Next, bring your dog over and say their name in a clear, positive voice. When your pup looks at you, say “yes” and provide a treat.
• For repetition, complete this process 4-5 times.
• Take a break and then pick up the game again at a later time. Do it a few times throughout the day for reinforcement.

If you follow these steps, your dog will know their name in just a few days.
