Five Puppy Naming Tips

Here are five basic puppy naming tips that you can use to help
pick out the perfect name for your puppy.

1.) Keep it short and sweet. You should keep your dog’s name to
one or two syllables so that it’s easy for it to understand. The
longer a name is, the more confusing it will be for the puppy.

2.) End the name in a long vowel. This also aids in the dog’s
recognizing its name. It will help to get the dogs attention
when you call his name.

3.) Do not give your dog a human name. When you give it a human
name, you make the dog one of “us”. And you’ll soon start
treating it like a human and less like a dog.

4.) Naturally you’ll want to stay away from names that sound
like obedience commands, like “sit”, “down”, “stay”, “come”,
etc. Imagine giving the command, “Bit, sit.” You can see how the
puppy would get confused.

5.) Finally, you should pick a name that you like! You can have
it based on all sorts of themes and interests (cars, sports,
hobbies, etc) that you are passionate about. Why not go with one
of those?

Remember, these are just guidelines. You will know when you have
picked out the perfect name for your new puppy.
