Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose a good dog name?
Choose a name of one or two syllables that is easy to say and sounds distinct from common commands. Say it aloud, and make sure everyone in the family likes it.
Can I change my dog's name later?
Yes. Dogs learn names through association, so use the new name with treats and praise and most pets adjust within a couple of weeks.
Should a dog's name sound like a command?
It's best to avoid names that sound like commands, such as "Kit" and "Sit" or "Joe" and "No", because they can confuse your dog.
How do I choose a name for a Dachshund?
Pick a short, one- or two-syllable name that is easy to call. Think about your Dachshund's size, temperament (curious, bold, loyal) and coat, and say the name aloud a few times before deciding.
