Frequently Asked Questions

Should the way I say a dog's name affect their response?

Yes! Dogs respond best to a upbeat inflection. Never saying their name in an stern voice, as they may start to associate it with negative experiences and hesitate to coming.

Is it common to name a Welsh Terrier based on their physical traits?

Absolutely! Plenty of Welsh Terrier parents get ideas from their companion's physical features. Think of Shadow, Rusty, or Snowball are popular physical picks.

Can give a bold name for a girl dog?
