Tips for Choosing the Right Name
✓ Color names grow with your dog
Color-based names like 'Mocha' or 'Ash' stay relevant — they describe appearance, not a phase.
✓ Check for command conflicts
Avoid names that rhyme with 'No', 'Sit', 'Stay', or 'Down' — they cause confusion in training.
✓ 1–2 syllable names work best
Short names are faster to call and easier for dogs to learn.
✓ Pick a name you can yell
You will call it loudly at the dog park. 'Blue!' is easy. A 4-syllable name is not.
