Frequently Asked Questions
Which names are popular for silver pets?
Refined options like Smokey, Silver, Ash, Sterling, or Misty pair wonderfully with a silver coat. These names project the understated class of silver shades.
What if I get a pair of puppies at the same time?
Aim for names that complement each other but are phonetically distinct. Avoid similar sounding pairs like 'Bilo' or 'Luna', as this will likely muddle the dogs during call-backs.
How train a puppy to respond to their name?
Say the name in a happy voice, and immediately treat your puppy when they look at you. Practice several times a day in short sessions. The majority of dogs learn their name within several sessions.
Should the way I say a dog's name matter?
Definitely! Dogs pay more attention to a enthusiastic voice. Avoid saying their name in an angry voice, as they may start to link it with punishment and hesitate to reacting.
