Finding the perfect name for your new puppy might seem overwhelming, but it’s all part of the fun.
You’re looking for something that matches their look, personality, and vibe with your family.
The key is to choose a name they can quickly recognize and respond to.
A good tip is to think about names that begin with the letter “C.”
This strong consonant sound is easy for dogs to pick out, making it simpler for them to learn and respond to their name.

How long does it take for a dog to learn its name?
Most dogs can start to recognize and respond to their name within a few days to a couple of weeks of consistent training.
But obviously, the exact time will be different for each dog, depending on its age, breed, and the consistency of the training.
Puppies may learn their name more quickly because they are in a critical learning period.
Older dogs might take a bit longer, especially if they’re transitioning from another name or have had less training.
With regular practice, most dogs will reliably recognize and respond to their name within two weeks.
