Choosing the ideal name for your dog is a fundamental decision, since it will be the “key word” that you will use daily and that your dog will learn to associate with attention, training and affection. The article insists on selecting a short name (one or two syllables), with clear phonetics and that is not confused with common orders or names of people in the house.
Open vowels (A, O) and consonants such as D, K, P or R make it easier for the dog to distinguish its names from its surroundings. In addition, it is important to avoid common names in the park (such as “Luna” or “Max”) so that it is not confused with other dogs or similar commands.
It is also recommended to wait a few days to get to know the puppy’s personality, appearance or hobbies and choose a name that really fits its character. Once chosen, it must always be kept the same: do not use diminutives or different nicknames, as this can confuse the dog and delay its learning.
To teach the dog his name, the article advises calling him in a quiet environment, rewarding him every time he responds (snack, pet or cuddle), and repeating the exercise in different situations, always with a cheerful tone and avoiding scolding associated with his name.
In summary, the perfect name for your dog must be short, sonorous, pronounceable and distinctive, adapted to its personality and maintained unchanged throughout its life. This way, you will improve your communication with him, you will strengthen your bond and you will make training a more fluid and fun experience.
And while the dog learns its name, don’t forget to reward it with delicious and useful snacks: churpi bars, churpi crunchies or a natural churpi dog snack, which take care of its teeth and reinforce every moment of connection.
