Tips for naming your puppy
- Keep it short. One or two syllables are easiest for a puppy to recognize and respond to during early training.
- Avoid command clashes. Skip names that sound like "sit", "stay" or "no" — they can confuse your cues.
- Pick one they grow into. A name that's cute on a tiny pup should still suit a big, confident adult dog.
