Frequently Asked Questions
Is it possible to rename a dog's name once adoption?
Absolutely! Dogs respond to different names very fast, particularly with positive reinforcement. Start by using the new name before meals so they form positive connections fast.
How do I choose if I have a pair of puppies together?
Aim for names that match one another but sound distinct. Try to stay away from rhyming pairs like 'Milo' or 'Tuna', as this can muddle the dogs during call-backs.
Do Maltese dogs respond faster to certain types of names?
Generally, Maltese dogs respond best to short names with hard consonant sounds. Steer clear of names that sound too similar everyday words like sit, stay, or no.
How pick a name for a Maltese?
Think about your Maltese's character, build, and energy level. Crisp names with 1-2 syllables often work best for recall.
