Here our some useful tips in choosing a name for your dog or cat. Please remember that the pet-name you choose will used dozens of times a day to call, praise and perhaps scold. Pick a name that the pet can easily recognise.
Animals respond better to one or two syllable names.
Choose a name that's both easy to call out and one that you are happy calling out. For dogs avoid names that sound like the standard commands of No, Stay, Sit, Come, Down or Fetch. It can be difficult for dogs to tell the difference between similar sounding words. If choosing a long name keep in mind the shortened version. A long name will inevitably be shortened, but it may ruin the effect that you were originally looking for.
