Frequently Asked Questions
What's the best way to teach a puppy to learn their name?
Say the name in a upbeat voice, and right away treat your puppy when they make eye contact. Repeat multiple times a day in brief bursts. The majority of dogs master their name within several sessions.
How do I choose if I get two puppies together?
Aim for names that complement one another but sound distinct. Avoid similar sounding pairs like 'Bilo' or 'Tuna', as this can confuse the animals during training.
Is it OK to use a shortened version instead of a pet's full name?
Of course! Plenty of pets recognize two or more names. Just make sure you default to the same main name for training to prevent hesitation.
What's the best way to select a name for a giant dog?
Giant dogs carry a majestic presence, so regal names often suit them wonderfully. Keep in mind that the name should be practical to say in open spaces.
