Part of the fun of getting a new puppy is the naming process!
This is an opportunity for you and your family to get creative in naming one of your Charlotte Dog Club puppies. To help you out, here are five tips for naming your new furry family member.
Public-Friendly
Think of how often youâre going to call your dogâs name (which is pretty) and where youâll be. For instance, itâs likely that youâll be in public and at dog parks. Do you really want to call out an inappropriate name at the park?! Maybe you do, we arenât here to judge, we just want to throw it out there for you to be mindful of what you name your pup.
Consider What Your Dog Hears
Another tip for naming your dog is to give her a name that is easy for her to understand and hear. Thereâs a science to it actually. Charlotte Dog Club puppies arenât named until they go home with their owner but we like to address them as âsweetieâ or âbaby.â In your home, youâll want something simple and easy to decipher. Names starting with the letters D, T, or K are easy. Sometimes S or F are hard and confusing for them.
Avoid Words That Command
We have to say this, but we think you are likely to agree with us. Avoid naming your dog anything close to a command youâd want to teach. Actually, stay away from words that rhyme with the commands, too. For instance, you donât want to name your dog âFayeâ because sheâd get confused with the word âstay,â and neither of you wants that!
Lineage Naming
Maybe you want to name your pup something that is dedicated to her lineage. Sometimes new pet owners name our Charlotte Dog Club puppies after the origin of the country for the specific breed. Is your dog an American breed like a Boston Terrier? Maybe youâd name him âBostonâ or Massey for Massachusetts. Youâre free to take this name by the way. We donât own the rights!
Size Matters
Over your lifetime, how many dogs have you encountered or even seen on TV that was little but named Brutus? What about big dogs named Tiny? You get where weâre going with this. You can get playful and switch it up by naming your new Charlotte Dog Club puppies after the opposite of their size or directly after their size.
