Dogs Names

By K9Excel

Choosing the perfect name for your puppy is an opportunity to demonstrate to the world just how creative and insightful you are. Dog names say a lot about your loved one and believe it or not a lot about you. Think about the last few dog names you heard. Did the dog names stand out, were they a good description, were they unique and easily distinguishable from other words and did they have meaning? These are all important considerations to think about when choosing perfect dog names.
 

Puppy Naming Tips

• Keep it simple. Dogs grasp brief orders, so short and sweet says it best. Names with just a couple of syllables work well.
• Don't confuse the issue. Your puppy's name shouldn't sound similar to any commands. "Fetch, Fletch!" and "Stay, Ray" will only befuddle your pup.
• Publicity hound. Since you'll be calling your dog's name in public, loudly and frequently, make sure it's not a name you'll be mortified to yell. "Butthead" may be funny in the privacy of your frat house, but it won't sound great at the dog park.
• Consider the kids. You're right; "Fluffy" doesn't illustrate the noble nature of your Champion Irish Wolfhound, but kids appreciate simplicity, too. Register the fancy schmancy name with the AKC.
• Don't name the pooch after a family member. Naming your baby after Uncle Norbert will keep you in the will, but naming your pup after him may not. Ask first before bestowing such an "honor" on a friend or relative.
• Old dog, new home? Try and keep the name your adopted dog already owns. If you must change it, stick with similar sounds. "Barney" becomes a terrific "Farley" with ease.
• Try it out. When you find a name you like, give it a test run for a day or two. If it feels natural, it's a keeper! Otherwise, move on to the next name on your list.
  
  
  Don't forget to give your dog lots of LOVE when you use her name and she responds! Treats, hugs, and positive reinforcement will help your puppy bond with her new name quickly.
