Giving Your Pups Cool, Creative Pet Duo Names

When a new puppy comes into your life, you want to come up with a creative name that’s different and suits your dog’s personality. When you have two new furry friends, it’s more of a challenge, but there are tons of great names [1]. 

When choosing names for your pet duo, you’ll want duo dog names everyone else isn’t using. It’s fun to get creative with pet names. However, it would be best to choose names that aren’t complex or complicated. You should try to pick names for your dogs that are unique and make sense.

Canine experts say that vowels change tone when you call your pup. The reason is that dogs distinguish frequencies at higher levels than humans. When you give your dogs names with vowels, they respond better. It’s best to avoid long names for your dogs since they won’t respond as well. A longer name usually gets shortened to a nickname anyway. Dog names with two syllables work the most effectively. 

The best way to find out if a name suits your dog is to repeat it a few times and observe the reaction. Another helpful tip is not to use anything negative for your pup’s name. A dog can get easily confused if you give it a name that might be confused with a command. For example, the name Ray could be confused with the stay command. Bo could be mistaken for telling your dog “no.” You wouldn’t want your dog to think it’s done something wrong when you want it to come to you.

Although most dog experts suggest giving a dog a name with two syllables, most dogs will respond whether you call their name, tell them to come or ask them if they want their dinner. Veterinary behaviorists say that dogs respond to nicknames since it’s a cue to do what their owner wants. When a dog associates a command or cue with something positive, it’ll respond quickly.
