Frequently Asked Questions
What's the best way to choose a name for a giant breed?
Giant dogs have a majestic presence, so dignified names often suit them wonderfully. Keep in mind that the name should be comfortable to shout in open spaces.
What if I get two dogs together?
Aim for names that pair with each other but sound distinct. Try to stay away from similar sounding pairs like 'Milo' or 'Tuna', as this can muddle the dogs during feeding time.
What's the best way to teach a puppy to respond to their name?
Say the name in a upbeat tone, and immediately treat your puppy when they make eye contact. Practice multiple times a day in quick sessions. The majority of dogs recognize their name within a few sessions.
Is it OK to give a nickname alongside a pet's formal name?
Yes! Most dogs learn several nicknames. Just ensure you stick to the same main name for commands to avoid mixed signals.
