We\u2019ll also help you find out how you can rename your dog and how to train your dog to learn their name&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Picking a name marks the start of your journey with your new pup. But there\u2019s still a long way to go, for which you\u2019ll want to <a href=\"https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/en-us\/\">download the Zigzag puppy app<\/a>.

Plus, our <a href=\"https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/en-us\/experts\/\">team of professional dog trainers <\/a>are complete life-savers and available to talk and support you 24\/7 through every step of the way.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why is choosing your puppy\u2019s name important?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Choosing your puppy\u2019s name isn\u2019t the same as choosing what you\u2019ll have for dinner. Your puppy\u2019s name is the first step to getting their attention, which is key when teaching your puppy to come when called\u2026especially when you\u2019re calling them back from a potentially dangerous situation like crossing the road!.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s a lot more guidance on these trainings in our articles on <a href=\"https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/en-us\/blog\/puppy-training\/commands\/teach-a-puppy-its-name\/\">how to teach your puppy their name,<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/en-us\/blog\/puppy-training\/commands\/puppy-recall-training\/\">how to teach a puppy to come when called.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to choose your pup&#8217;s name?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Choosing the right name for your puppy isn\u2019t always the smoothest process. Here are some key things to consider when thinking about the right name:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Short and easy to hear&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For puppies, short and sweet is best. Generally, dog names with one or two syllables work best because they won\u2019t get shortened by people and cause confusion for your pup on what their actual name is. Also, your pup will also hear it much better when you <a href=\"https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/en-us\/blog\/puppy-training\/commands\/puppy-recall-training\/\">call them<\/a> across long distances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Good vowel sounds<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>R-O-V-E-R is nice and obvious, isn\u2019t it? How about Benji, Maisie, Bella or Bonnie? They all have nice and clear vowel sounds that are simple to stretch out and easy for your dog to hear. Ending your puppy\u2019s name on a vowel sound like Rolo or Poppy is also a good idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Does it suit your puppy?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Ha, this is a good one. While a name like Scruff might suit a messy terrier, it might not do the trick for your graceful <a href=\"https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/en-us\/blog\/puppy-training\/how-to-train-a-poodle-puppy-everything-you-need\/\">Poodle<\/a> the same. Similarly, Claude the <a href=\"https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/en-us\/blog\/puppy-training\/breed-specific\/how-to-train-a-french-bulldog-puppy\/\">French Bulldog <\/a>could be the perfect match &#8211; but not so much for a <a href=\"https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/en-us\/blog\/puppy-training\/breed-specific\/how-to-train-a-chihuahua-puppy\/\">Chihuahua<\/a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Is it someone else&#8217;s name?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Not a good idea in our experience. Your friends will simply not find it as cute as you do if your dog is named like their firstborn. Great Aunt Pattie is unlikely to be flattered, no matter how adorable your new <a href=\"https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/en-us\/blog\/puppy-training\/breed-specific\/guide-how-to-train-cockapoo-puppy\/\">Cockapoo<\/a> is.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Can you imagine yourself using it?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Could sound pretty obvious &#8211; but if you or your partner don\u2019t like the name, then don\u2019t use it! There\u2019s no point in compromising here &#8211; let\u2019s make sure the name fits you and your family nicely.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Popular names for your dog<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Taken from our app database, we\u2019ve compiled a list of the top 5 male and female puppy names. Choosing a unique puppy name can be tricky, and sometimes it works just as good to stick with a common name. There\u2019s often a good reason people choose these names.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Popular names for male dogs in the USA<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Milo<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Max<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rocky<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bear<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Charlie<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Popular names for female dogs in the USA<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Luna<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bella<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Daisy<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Coco<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nala<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can see, all these puppy names are short, snappy, and sweet, with 2 syllables or less. They roll off the tongue very easily and can be heard clearly, also most end in vowels!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Can I rename my dog? <\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes! If you\u2019ve recently rehomed a dog from a shelter or from a private rehoming situation, you can change their name to something fresh. Teach them that their (new) name means wonderful things, and they\u2019ll pick it up pretty quick!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve picked a new name and follow the instructions in our article on<a href=\"https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/en-us\/blog\/puppy-training\/commands\/teach-a-puppy-its-name\/\"> how to teach a puppy their name<\/a>\u2026and of course, download the <a href=\"https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/en-us\/about-us\/\">Zigzag app<\/a> where you\u2019ll find all kinds of extra support!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>So you\u2019ve named your puppy. Now it&#8217;s time to teach them their name\u2026<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Rule of thumb, always do this with <a href=\"https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/en-us\/blog\/puppy-training\/positive-reinforcement-puppy-training-what-does-it-mean\/\">positive reinforcement training<\/a> like we do via the <a href=\"https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/en-us\/about-us\/\">Zigzag app.<\/a> With positive reinforcement training, you\u2019ll soon find out how much quicker your puppy responds to it when they learn that when they do, it means treats and cuddles are coming their way. Use a happy, upbeat tone, so that they react quickly upon hearing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/app.adjust.com\/1lehyg83?fallback=https%3A%2F%2Fweb.zigzag.dog%2Fus%2F%3Futm_source%3Dwebsite%26utm_medium%3Din_article%26utm_campaign%3Din_article_CTA&#038;redirect_macos=https%3A%2F%2Fweb.zigzag.dog%2Fus%2F%3Futm_source%3Dwebsite%26utm_medium%3Din_article%26utm_campaign%3Din_article_CTA\">Download Zigzag here!<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not sure where to begin teaching your puppy their name? <a href=\"https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/en-us\/about-us\/\">Download the Zigzag puppy training app<\/a> for personalized lessons on teaching your puppy their name, which tone to use, and other very important stuff like walking on a leash, recall, leave it, drop, socialization and habituation.<br>Our team of<a href=\"https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/en-us\/experts\/\"> professional puppy trainers<\/a> will always be happy to help you along any hurdles &#8211; whether you\u2019re trying to choose a puppy name, or you\u2019re trying to teach your puppy to stop chasing the cat, we\u2019ve got you covered. <a href=\"https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/en-us\/about-us\/\">Download the Zigzag puppy training app <\/a>now and get started with training your puppy today!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Choosing a puppy is already a difficult task.
