You are looking for name for your dog? It is normal that you have doubts when naming the new member of your family with four legs. He will accompany you all your life and somehow it will define your fellow dog as much as it defines you. It will be the word that links you and will be associated in your memory with all the good times you are going to spend together.
The reflections that are made when naming the animal are not very different from those that parents develop thinking about their children. Many would like to find a unique name, never used before with another dog, because it’s for a really unique one.
Others, on the other hand, want their name to be a tribute to a previous member of the family, and others want it to simply be pretty and sound good, which is just as legitimate as any other option.
Dog names: how to choose
Long and melodious names for dogs are very beautiful, however short, uncomplicated names are best for dogs. They will be ideal when you have to call the dog out loud to come to you or when you are praising him.
Your furry friend will understand his name, but coming to your call will be another matter. Ideally, the dog’s name should have two syllables, as is the case of Chico or Cata. In this way, the animal can more easily distinguish them from commands such as sit, come or let’s go.
You have to know that dogs do not understand their names 100% in the same way that you do. So you won’t be able to tell if your name is Lenny or Jenny. But you will arouse their attention when you pronounce some sounds (his name) addressing him.
To make it easier for him to perceive that you are addressing him, you can choose compound names with a pair of hard stop consonants like T, K, P or B, and a pair of vowels.
Male Dog Names
The dog has to learn its name first, he does it best when he associates the name with something positive. That’s why you shouldn’t associate the animal’s name with anger or guilt, especially at first.
For this reason, you should not use the name to scold the dog. An example: the puppy chews your new leather shoes. Instead of threateningly scolding him with his name, it’s better to just say “no.”
Especially in the learning and imprinting phase, you must make sure that associate the dog’s name with something nice. For example, you call the dog by its name to play with it. Treats, praise and petting can also be used.
