How to pick a name that sticks
Short names with one or two syllables are easiest for dogs to recognize, and a name that ends in a vowel sound (Bella, Milo) carries well when you call it across a park. Avoid names that sound like cues you’ll use — “Kit” and “sit”, “Bo” and “no”. Say it out loud a few times; if it feels awkward now, it will in five years too.
