Looking for a Dog Name
Look at your dog
The
first thing you can do in order to find out which dog name to choose
is to actually look at your dog and find out what does he make you
think of. All dogs have a special quality which might characterize
them and we can use that characteristic in order to find a dog name
for them.
What to avoid
There
are a few things you should avoid when choosing a name for a dog.
First of all, you should always avoid any name which implies anything
negative or bad, you must choose a nice name for him which you and
everyone else will enjoy through the pass of time. Besides this, you
should also avoid choosing a dog name of only one syllable since it
would be more difficult for your dog to hear you.
How to teach it to him
Once
you have chosen a name, you will need to make sure your dog responds
to it. In order to teach your dog what his name is, you must use it
as often as possible when calling him and talking to him, although
you should avoid using it in an angry voice tone or he would not like
to respond to it. A name will start being understood by the dog after
he hears it many times and is able to connect it with his own actions.
The first times, each time your dog responds to his name you can reward
him in order to help him learning that he is responding correctly.
Some name sources
There are some name sources you might want to consider at the time
of looking for a name for your dog. You can look for a fun dog name
by looking into famous real or fiction names which somehow remind
you of your dog. Also, you can name a dog after a famous dog or any
other famous pet from real life or from fiction stories. Besides this,
you can look for your dog's name among adjectives which might somehow
describe him or words which make reference to any of his special characteristics.
