Choosing the right name for your dog

• The sound of the name is the key
  • • It should be one or two-syllable that preferably ends with ‘a’ or ‘e.’
    • Avoid names that have similar sounds of a command such as ‘Rey’ that actually sounds like ‘stay.’ This is to avoid confusion when training the dog.
    • The shorter the name, the faster the dog moves to respond.
  Tip: If you want to have a longer name, think of a nickname that will make it shorter.
  • Avoid the names that rhyme with ‘no.’ This is to have an easy command of discipline when your pooch gets in trouble.
  • Use your imagination. Get inspiration from trends and your interests.

Choosing your dog’s name should really be according to your preference. Make sure that your dog responds with your chosen name.
