Tips for Choosing the Right Name
✓ Pick style that matches personality
A bold dog deserves a bold name. A gentle dog might suit something soft. Trust your instinct.
✓ 1–2 syllable names train best
Dogs respond to short names faster. Style names often have natural rhythm — lean into it.
✓ Avoid command conflicts
Don't pick names that rhyme with 'No', 'Sit', 'Stay', or 'Down'.
✓ Say it out loud 10 times
You will call this name thousands of times. Make sure it feels comfortable at the park, the vet, and the street.
