How to choose the right name
Keep it shortOne or two syllables carry best across the park — dogs respond faster to crisp sounds like Max or Zoe than to long, soft names.
Hard consonants winNames with a clear K, T or B sound (Coco, Toby, Pixel) cut through background noise far better than whispery ones.
Avoid household collisionsIf it sounds like a command — sit, stay, no, down — or another family member's name, pick again. Confusion slows training.
Say it out loud, ten timesYou will call this name hundreds of times. If it still feels good at call ten in your own voice, it's the one.
