How to choose the right name for a dog?

Although it sounds simple, choosing a name can be quite challenging. Here are some tips for choosing a name that your puppy will love – and you too :

  • Keep the name short (1–2 syllables) – it's easier to remember and they react faster.

  • Avoid names that sound like commands ("Nea" can sound like "No!").

  • Test the name out loud – call it several times and observe the reaction.
