We humans need to name everything in order to identify it. When we communicate with other people we call them by name, and we do the same when we want to say something to our four-legged friend. Names are very important so that we can interact between members of our own species and with those of others, since even though we are the only ones who have the ability to speak, It is very easy for them to memorize the word we have chosen to get their attentionn.
But of course, which one to put? There are many and we may like not one, but twenty, so choosing just one can take a long time. To shorten it a bit, we are going to tell you many dog's names, both for the calmer and for the funniest, and we will also explain what you should do to learn it. Do not miss it.
How to choose a dog's name?
Unless you already have a name that you really like and want to give your new dog, choosing a name for him is not always an easy task; in fact, I would say that it is one of the most complicated tasks, even more than teaching him to go on a leash. Fortunately, there are several things that you can take into account and that will help you choose the most appropriate one:
- Choose a short word, one or two syllables maximum: it will cost much less for the dog to memorize it.
- It has to be easy to pronounce: It may seem logical, but often taking a look at a list of exotic names for dogs we can have the urge to put one of them to our furry one. But you must think that if it is difficult for you to pronounce it, it will be very difficult for your dog to learn it.
- Avoid using words associated with his youth: Names like "little" or "ball" can be great when the dog is a puppy, but a good name should serve him for life, even when he has reached adulthood.
- Wait a few days to get to know your dog a little more: By observing him daily, you will be able to know what his personality and character are like, so that it can be much easier for you to find a name for him.
- Give it the name you like best: this is basic. Even if it is a personal or cartoon name, you have every right in the world to call it whatever you want.
- If it already had a name, don't change it: If you have adopted a dog that already had a name, it is advisable not to change it, especially if he is an adult since it can be difficult for him to learn it.
And once you've chosen it, remember to always call it by that name, at least for the first year. This will make it much easier for him to memorize it and he will come whenever you call.

How to make the dog learn its name
Once you've decided what to name it, the job isn't done yet. In fact, now it's time to tell the dog that it's called a certain way. To make the explanation easier to understand, let's assume that the dog will be called Blacky. How can you make Blacky understand that from now on, every time you call him, you will say that word?
It's actually much simpler than it sounds, but it can take a long time. It's more, you will not have to do anything but say his name whenever you can: when you caress it, when you take it for a walk, when you want it to approach you, ... in short, at any time of the day that you want to draw its attention. But of course this is not enough.
In addition to your name, you have to have dog treats with you. They have to be ones that you especially like and that smell a lot (bacon ones, for example, are usually a good option). In this way, the dog will learn it in a matter of no time, since he will quickly associate his name, in this case Blacky, with something very positive: his treat.
Before calling him by name, show him the treat and then call him. If he comes, which will almost certainly come, give it to him. Do it repeatedly, several times a day, and I assure you that in less than what you think your dog will know his name well 🙂.
Do you already know what name you are going to give it?
