Some names can cause people to judge a dog and react positively or negatively/fearfully when meeting it. Depending on whether the dog is a pet, therapy dog, search & rescue dog, tracking dog or any other dog that works with the public, it might be important to use a name that conveys the proper image.

    Choosing a name for any dog is an incredibly fun task! We recommend using both their personal and physical features to help you do so. Here are some of our top tips which we recommend taking into consideration when naming a dog:

    A dog’s name should never be too short or too long, we recommend choosing one of a maximum two syllables.
    Avoid using colloquialisms or orders which may confuse your dog.
    Find an important name that your dog can identify with.
    Take your time selecting the most appropriate name.
    Choose simpler names that you can pronounce correctly.
