Tips for Choosing the Perfect Name for your Dog

  1. When choosing a name for your dog, make sure the name is clear and easy to say. It is best to keep the name to no more that two syllables. Practice saying the name to make sure you are comfortable with it.

  1. Your dog’s name will influence what people think of your dog.  If you name your German Shepherd, Killer, people may believe that your dog presents a danger to others.

  1. Try to choose an unique name.  The last thing you want is to call your dog at the park and have five other dogs respond.

  1. It’s important to ensure that the name does not resemble another command you will use with your dog.

  1. Also remember that you will be saying this name over and over again when they are young so make sure you really like it.
