If you are looking for a proper name for your doggy, then there are some important things that you should considered before naming your pet. Names for dogs chosen by people will be used at least 35000 during the life of the animals. Here are some advises that will guide you on a proper selection and to find the perfect name for your dog. Make sure of choosing a name that you and your puppy can be proud of and that express your love for your pet.

With these simple steps you will find the key to choose the perfect name.

  • Dogs only understand short words, therefore it is highly recommended for you to choose a name with at most two syllables which work perfectly well and with preference a name with vowels “o” and “a” included. Besides, the pronunciation of the name must simple, clear and easy to recognize for the dog as for other people. It is fundamental to remember that the dog does not catch the meaning of the name but the sonority impressed on it every time you mention it. Therefore the pronunciation must be as harmonious as possible.
  • Remember that you will be using that name in public, so you should be careful of not taking a decision that you will be regretting of after a while. For instance a name like “Krull the warrior king” breaks all the rules mentioned already, it isn’t short, it is difficult to understand for the dog considering the different tones the voice will acquire through the whole pronunciation, and no person with some mental sanity would use it in public, although it may have been cute on the movie “Loosing a guy in ten days”.
  • If you have kids, they can be part of the process of selection of the name as long as you explain them the requirements for a good and suitable name for the doggy.
  • If you are adopting a grown up doggy, if it is possible try to keep the name of the dog, since it can be a little bit confusing for it to use a different name and in turn it will be more difficult to get its attention.
  • Once you have chosen a name, probe it during one day or two. You will know immediately if the name you chose is adequate for your puppy. If not, there are always more names available to choose from.
  • At the time you are choosing the name you should remember that this name will be used for the rest of the life of the puppy. Therefore there is no use on taking into account some characteristics which are specific to childhood of the puppy to choose names like “sparky” or something like that when the dog belongs to breed of big animals like a German shepherd.
  • Their appearance and their color is also a good point of reference to choose a name that can be suitable for your pet.
