Tips On How To Come Up With An Appropriate Puppy Name

Having done everything possible to bring home a pet that suits your lifestyle and who is a breed that has all the desirable characteristics it is then up to you as a pet owner to find a suitable puppy name for your new acquisition. You should expect that during the course of his life you would be calling your puppy by his name more than thirty thousand times. Not only that, but many times pet owners would like to change their puppy name during the course of the first year of pet ownership.

No Common Commands Please

It therefore stand to reason that you give as much care to choosing the right puppy name as you did in choosing the right puppy. There are several factors that you will need to look at before picking your puppy name. for one, don’t pick a name that is a typical command such as Stay, Go, and Sit as this will only cause confusion in the minds of the pets at the time that you start training them.

Another aspect to picking the right puppy name is to pick something that will be relevant to your pet throughout his lifetime and at the same time you should avoid choosing names that your pet will soon outgrow. Next, you should try and ensure that you pick a puppy name that contains one or even two syllables as these kinds of names are easy for the dog to understand and so training he will prove to be that much easier.

You should also not pick a puppy name that is trendy for the present but which will soon become passé. In addition, in case you are adopting an adult dog it makes no sense in renaming him and it is much better to stick with his original name. After all, you don’t want to confuse your pet by changing his name after he has become accustomed to a particular name.

It is also not a good idea to choose a puppy name to be something that is named after certain people as this can, under certain circumstances, prove to be offensive to those who have similar names. Other aspects to choosing the right puppy name include not choosing a name that can cause you embarrassment; rather, you should pick a name that matches your pet’s personality or unique appearance.

Dogs are very popular additions in movies and part of the reason for this popularity is that they are stars in their own right. In case you want your puppy to also star in a movie you will need to take puppy pictures of your pet and then use the picture to apply for a role for your puppy in an upcoming movie. It therefore makes sense to shoot pictures of your puppy in the most attractive poses so that the agency will be impressed enough to give your puppy a role.
