How Do You Pick The Right Name?
How do you know if you’ve picked the right name for your dog? That’s a question new pup parents ask every day.
We’ve been helping dog owners find the perfect pet name for years now, and along the way we’ve picked up a few tips. Here is our advice for selecting the right name:
- Is it easy to say? Some names are great in theory but tough to pronounce in everyday life. Before you lock in on a name, make sure it rolls off the tongue.
- Say it out loud. And repeat it several times. Can you imagine loudly calling for your dog with this name? If the answer is no, then it’s not the right name. Move on and find a better option.
- Does it fit your dog? This is important. Check to see if the name matches your dog’s personality and appearance. A name might work well in theory but just not be right for your dog.
- And finally, trust your gut. When you find the right name, you’ll know it!
