Frequently Asked Questions

Look for names that complement one another but sound different. Try to stay away from similar sounding pairs like 'Milo' or 'Luna', as this can frustrate the dogs during feeding time.
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?
Absolutely! Most dogs respond to multiple names. Just ensure you stick to a single primary name for training to avoid mixed signals.
How train a dog to recognize their name?
