Frequently Asked Questions

Does the tone of voice a dog's name affect their response?

Yes! Dogs respond best to a enthusiastic tone. Avoid saying their name in an angry voice, as they may begin to associate it with something bad and hesitate to responding.

Can use a diminutive instead of a dog's formal name?

Absolutely! Many dogs recognize two or more nicknames. Only be certain you default to the same primary name for training to avoid confusion.

Do Lapponian Herder dogs react faster to certain types of names?

As with any breed, Lapponian Herder dogs pay most attention to crisp names with strong consonants. Avoid names that rhyme with everyday words like sit, stay, or no.

Do male pet names sound masculine?

Not necessarily! Although bold names like Thor or Duke are classic picks, lots of boy pets wear beautifully soft names like Milo, Ollie, or Biscuit. Pick what feels right your pet's vibe.
