Frequently Asked Questions

Does the tone of voice a dog's name affect their response?
Yes! Dogs respond best to a upbeat tone. Avoid saying their name in an negative tone, as they may begin to link it with something bad and stop coming.
Can give a nickname alongside a dog's official name?

How train a dog to recognize their name?
