Choosing the perfect name for your new puppy can feel like a big task.

You want a name that not only suits their appearance or personality but also feels right for your family.

It’s important to pick a name they’ll easily recognize and respond to.

One tip is to consider names that start with the letter “K.”

Names with this hard consonant are often easier for dogs to distinguish amidst everyday sounds, helping them learn their name faster and respond more reliably.

How long does it take for a dog to learn its name?

Dogs usually pick up their names fairly quickly, often within a few days of hearing them.

However, recognizing their name doesn’t automatically mean they understand what you’re asking of them.

You’ll need to keep working with them, teaching them to stop, respond, and listen when you call their name.
