Tips for naming your big dog
- Match the presence. A massive dog carries bold names like Zeus, Titan or Atlas with real authority.
- Or play the softie angle. Most big dogs are gentle giants — names like Bear, Baloo or Teddy suit them sweetly.
- Keep it short. One or two syllables are easiest for a dog to recognize and respond to during training.
