Frequently Asked Questions
Is it possible to rename a dog's name once adoption?
Absolutely! Dogs adapt to new names surprisingly fast, especially with positive reinforcement. Begin by using the new name before meals so they form happy connotations right away.
What if I get a pair of dogs at the same time?
Aim for names that pair with each other but are phonetically unique. Try to stay away from similar sounding pairs like 'Bilo' or 'Luna', as this can confuse the dogs during call-backs.
Can give a diminutive as well as a dog's official name?
Yes! Most dogs learn several names. Just make sure you default to the same primary name for recall to prevent mixed signals.
How train a puppy to respond to their name?
Say the name in a upbeat tone, and instantly reward your puppy when they respond. Repeat a few times a day in brief bursts. Most puppies recognize their name within just a couple of sessions.
