How to Choose a Name for Your Dog

Choosing a name for your dog can be a fun and exciting process, as this is how you can showcase your love and passion for something while simultaneously expressing your dog’s personality.

That said, it’s best to look for a name that isn’t too complicated to pronounce. Make a list of all your favorite picks, and then say them out loud in various ways and tones. This way, you can see which names roll off the tongue more easily and which feel natural to you, in order to rule out the ones that you don’t like.

Try the same test with your dog present to see which name they respond to. Shortlist the ones that get your dog perked up and cheerful.
