Frequently Asked Questions
How train a dog to learn their name?
Say the name in a upbeat tone, and immediately treat your dog when they respond. Repeat a few times a day in short bursts. Many dogs master their name within several days.
Is it OK to use a shortened version instead of a pet's official name?
Of course! Plenty of dogs respond to two or more names. Just make sure you stick to the same main name for training to reduce mixed signals.
What if I adopt a pair of puppies together?
Aim for names that match each other but are phonetically unique. Try to stay away from rhyming pairs like 'Milo' or 'Luna', as this might frustrate the dogs during training.
What's the best way to choose a name for a giant breed?
Extra-large breeds have a commanding aura, so regal names tend to complement them best. Keep in mind that the name should be comfortable to shout across open spaces.
