Tips for Choosing the Right Name
✓ Irony works — but consider long-term
Naming a Great Dane 'Tiny' is funny at first, but you will say this name for 10+ years.
✓ 1–2 syllable names train best
Regardless of dog size, short names are easier to learn and call.
✓ Match energy, not just size
A big calm dog might suit a soft name. A tiny energetic dog might suit something punchy.
✓ Avoid command conflicts
Names that rhyme with 'No', 'Sit', 'Stay', or 'Down' will slow down training.
