Congratulations on bringing home your new puppy!
Now you get the fun challenge of coming up with a name that isn’t too cute or frilly and something that will fit your new pup’s personality. Â Whatever name you choose, whether it’s a classic like Fido or Fifi, the name of your favorite movie star or singer, a past or current president, family member or mythical figure, we do have a few suggestions you could follow:
– you need to make sure you are picking a name you will be happy with, because you will be calling them this for many years to come!
– The shorter the name, the better it is for the dog to understand. Â One to two syllables is good for a name. Â If you pick one that is too long, it can also get annoying to call out a long name each time you want them to come to you.
– Always use the puppy’s name when you speak to them or praise them. Â When he hears it next, he will come running because he know’s that it’s his special word.
– Don’t name the puppy something that will embarrass you or others when you have to call out the name in public.
– Take time to play with your pup and get to know them before choosing a name. Â You may name him or her one name, and later come to find out that the name you selected just doesn’t fit the pups personality at all. Â Give it a few days to a week and see what you decide on at that time. Â There are all kinds of adorable and fitting names out there, so make sure you select one that fit’s your puppy perfectly!
