Shortened versions of traditional human names like Charlie, Lucy, Max, Daisy, and Penny are also popular choices. Dog parents also seem to like old fashioned, American-style names like Buddy, Cooper, Tucker, and Harley, as well.
Dogs do not hear words, but tend to recognise sounds. They hear names with two syllables and initial letters such as “CH, S, SCH, SH or K” better than long dog names. Dog names ending with a vowel (A, E, I, O, U) are also recommended.
If your dog has a calm demeanor and tends to be always at peace, you can either choose a name that directly means “calm” or one that means “serene” or “peaceful.” Great examples of such names are “Milo” and “Tully” for male dogs or “Irene” and “Olive” for female dogs.
Avoid Command Words
Names that sound like “sit,” “stay,” “heel,” “no,” and “come” could be easily confused by your pup. Imagine how tough it would be to get your dog to stay if they are named “Fay” or how difficult it would be to get them to sit if their name was “Mitt”.
They won't respond to their name when you call them and likely won't even acknowledge the sound of their name. However, as time goes on, they begin to learn and eventually start responding to their name all the time.
Wait for the dog to give you attention, of their own choice, as soon as they do, say their name and reward them. Repeat. Regularly. You will get to the stage where you can call their name, they will pay attention, then can reward them.
