How to Choose the Right I Dog Name

• Choose a short, clear name that is easy to say during training.

• Match the name to your dog’s personality, appearance, or story.
• Say your favorites aloud several times and see which one feels natural.

Test Your Favorite Name

Try the name in a happy voice for a day or two. A good choice should be easy for everyone in the household to pronounce and distinct enough to get your dog’s attention.
