Short, sweet and easily recognizable names work best in getting your dog to be responsive. Use a name that is one or two syllables, ending with a vowel, such as “Sadie” or “Rocky.” Don't choose a name that is too long or difficult to say. A name such as “Sir Barks A Lot” will only confuse your dog.
