How To Choose Dog Names That Are Perfect For Your Puppy

Dogs can easily hear the 'hard' consonants, like D, K and T. Combine this with a short name of one syllable (two at the most) and it will make it much easier for you to train your dog. Try to avoid choosing a name that might confuse your dog. This could be one that sounds like a command (i.e. sit, fetch, come etc) or it could be a name that sounds similar to the name of a member of your family.

Choosing the right name makes life easier for everyone - especially for your dog! Just remember that you will need to happy to shout this name to call the dog in last thing at night, or in a park, on the beach… Would you feel comfortable to call for 'Honey Child'? Nicole Ritchie is!

It's All In the Breeding

If your dog is a pedigree, it might already have a name. These names can be very fancy but it may give you an idea. You may wish to use part of the name, or shorten it. If you intend to breed from your dog, don't forget to register it with the Kennel Club in your country.

All Change

Our relationships with our dogs are changing and the way we name them reflects this. Over half of all dogs now have 'human' or celebrity names. The most popular name for a dog in America (and worldwide!) is Max - and for a bitch, Maggie. A recent survey showed that 97% of dog owners believe that their dog is a companion. 74% viewed their dog as a member of the family!

Help Is At Hand
