- Love the name you choose. Your pup’s name is an important part of raising them. Take your time, and don’t settle on a name you don’t love!
- Names that end with vowels are easier for dogs to learn. If you choose a name such as Lucy and Bruno, your pup might actually be a bit more receptive as they can understand these words much easier. They are also distinguishable from commands and won’t confuse your new addition!
- One or two syllable names are easier to say. Long, elaborate names might be a good idea for a formal name, but when it comes to practicality, you should stick to something simple. Missy Fetchface might be cute, but ensure you’re pup knows their nickname, Missy or Fetch!
