Frequently Asked Questions
What if I have a pair of dogs together?
Aim for names that complement each other but are phonetically distinct. Avoid rhyming pairs like 'Bilo' or 'Luna', as this will likely confuse the dogs during feeding time.
Does the way I say a dog's name make a difference?
Absolutely! Dogs pay more attention to a upbeat inflection. Never saying their name in an stern voice, as they may begin to connect it with negative experiences and hesitate to coming.
Is it OK to give a nickname alongside a pet's formal name?
Yes! Most dogs respond to several nicknames. Only make sure you default to one consistent name for training to prevent hesitation.
Is it possible to rename a pet's name after adoption?
Yes! Dogs adjust to different names very quickly, especially with patient training. Start by saying the new name during meals so they build rewarding connections right away.
