Five Puppy Naming Tips

by Todd Jones
Here are five basic puppy naming tips that you can use to help pick out the perfect name for your puppy.

  • Keep it short and sweet. You should keep your dog's name to one or two syllables so that it's easy for it to understand. The longer a name is, the more confusing it will be for the puppy.
  • End the name in a long vowel. This also aids in the dog's recognizing its name. It will help to get the dogs attention when you call his name.
  • Do not give your dog a human name. When you give it a human name, you make the dog one of "us". And you'll soon start treating it like a human and less like a dog.
  • Naturally you'll want to stay away from names that sound like obedience commands, like "sit", "down", "stay", "come", etc. Imagine giving the command, "Bit, sit." You can see how the puppy would get confused.
  • Finally, you should pick a name that you like! You can have it based on all sorts of themes and interests (cars, sports, hobbies, etc) that you are passionate about. Why not go with one of those?

    • Remember, these are just guidelines. You will know when you have picked out the perfect name for your new puppy.
