Frequently Asked Questions

Is it OK to choose a bold name for a girl dog?

Definitely! Bold names like Athena, Xena, Rogue, or Valkyrie are ideal for female dogs with a spirited streak. The power of a name reflects attitude, not tradition.

How teach a puppy to learn their name?

Call the name in a happy voice, and immediately praise your dog when they respond. Repeat several times a day in brief sessions. The majority of puppies learn their name within several days.

What if I adopt two puppies at the same time?

Look for names that match one another but sound different. Avoid rhyming pairs like 'Milo' or 'Luna', as this can confuse the animals during training.
