Choosing the Perfect Name for a Large Female Dog: Our Recommendations

If you follow us, you already know the tips worth keeping in mind before choosing a name for your big girl. Here's a reminder:

1. The chosen nickname should differ from any other word you use regularly. It could get confused and not internalize it as its own.
2. It should be a short name, no more than two syllables. This way, it'll be easier for you to say it the same way every time, and easier for her to recognize it.
3. The vowels "a," "e," or "i" are easier for them to learn than "o" and "u."
4. Once chosen, repeat it to her several times throughout the day so she gets familiar with it, and give her favorite treat as a reward when she comes to you. Always say it the same way, without nicknames or shortened versions.
