Dogs - Thoughts For Naming Puppies
Tips in naming your puppies
So, you finally deiced to get a puppy. You spent many hours
talking to dog breeders and surfed the Internet countless times
to find the perfect puppy for you and your family. You went from
pet shop to pet shop, to dog associations, to animal societies,
looking and meeting puppies until you have found the right one.
Question is: Now what? Your puppy needs a name!
Throughout his lifetime, you will use the dog's name over 35,000
times. So, make sure that you choose a name that you and your
family will use to refer to that loving dog of yours.
Here are some tips in finding the perfect name for your puppy.
Remember that dogs understand brief commands. Names should
therefore be easy to remember. Names with two syllables or
lesser work well. Don't expect that your dog would be able to
respond to you immediately when you named him "John Dewey
McArthur".
The name of your puppy should not sound like the rest of the
commands. For example, do not call your dog "Stacy". It's too
close with the command "stay". Having a name like that will only
confuse the dog.
Remember that you will be using the dog's name in public.
Remember the joke circulating in emails when someone has a dog
named "Sex" and gotten the dog owner into trouble? "Boner" might
be funny for your drinking
buddies, but may have a different
reaction when you are in a veterinarian clinic or at a park.
Ask your kids what they want to name the dog. Let them
participate in name decision process. If they want to name the
dog "Champ" or "Tootsie" so be it. Reserve your funky names when
in front of other people.
You may believe that it would be an honor for your Uncle Tom or
best friend Bobby if the dog is named after them. Maybe naming
your baby after them might honor them, but naming your puppy
after them won't.
If you decided to bring home a dog that is quite older, it would
be probably better to stick with its old name. But, what if the
name of the dog is "Barney", the name of your-ex whom you had a
bitter breakup? Then, stick with other sounds similar to it.
Once you've picked a name, see if it works out. You will know if
that works. If not, then there are tons of dog names available
to replace it.
With these tips, naming your puppy would be fun.
