Frequently Asked Questions
Does the inflection when calling a dog's name make a difference?
Yes! Dogs respond best to a upbeat voice. Avoid saying their name in an negative tone, as they may begin to link it with something bad and hesitate to reacting.
How do I choose if I get a pair of dogs together?
Aim for names that match one another but sound unique. Try to stay away from rhyming pairs like 'Milo' or 'Luna', as this will likely frustrate the dogs during feeding time.
Is it possible to change a pet's name after bringing them home?
Yes! Dogs adapt to different names very quickly, mainly with consistent reinforcement. Begin by using the new name during treats so they form positive associations quickly.
Can use a diminutive as well as a pet's formal name?
Of course! Many pets learn several names. Just ensure you use the same main name for training to avoid mixed signals.
