Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose if I get a pair of dogs at the same time?
Look for names that match one another but sound different. Avoid similar sounding pairs like 'Bilo' or 'Tuna', as this can muddle the dogs during feeding time.
Should the inflection when calling a dog's name matter?
Absolutely! Dogs respond best to a happy voice. Don't using their name in an negative voice, as they may start to link it with something bad and hesitate to reacting.
Is it OK to give a shortened version alongside a dog's official name?
Absolutely! Plenty of dogs recognize multiple names. Just ensure you stick to one main name for training to prevent hesitation.
Can change a pet's name once bringing them home?
Absolutely! Dogs adapt to new names very well, especially with patient training. Start by using the new name before meals so they create happy connections quickly.
