There's no rule! While strong names like Thor or Duke are classic picks, many boy dogs wear beautifully sweet names like Milo, Ollie, or Biscuit. Go with what feels right your companion's personality.

Call the name in a upbeat voice, and right away praise your puppy when they respond. Repeat a few times a day in quick sessions. The majority of puppies master their name within just a couple of days.
