One of the first things we think about when we look at a puppy, even before adopting him, is what name would suit him. We tried to find the most striking characteristics of its personality, its physical traits and its behavior right away, imagining what would suit the animal.
Choosing a new companion's name is always a really fun challenge. There are many options available out there and we, as good owners, want to ensure that we choose something that suits the animal and that it will like it. Spending time with the animal and observing it is a good way for anyone who wants to have a different idea.
Dogs find it easier to memorize short names, with a maximum of two syllables. With that in mind, we made a list of dog names with 3 letters, all very beautiful and different for you who are looking for inspiration!
Tips for choosing your dog's name
As stated above, a good tip when deciding your dog's name is give preference to short names, which contain between one and two syllables. This way your pet will produce a faster response and will understand more easily when you are calling him.
Remember to choose a word that you like and that won't get you sick with time, because you'll use it a lot! If you live with other people, let them help you with the final decision, as it is important that everyone feels comfortable with the choice.
Another suggestion that can facilitate the understanding of the animal is the use of cstrong onsonants and vowels at the end of the word. As dogs and cats have a sharper ear than ours, they pick up more sounds. Using words that stand out by the sound of consoles like "c" or "b" helps the frequency of the name to stand out in your puppy's ears. The same happens with vowel endings, as they make the end of the word louder and easier to memorize.
Avoid names that resemble words we use frequently and commands you will teach the animal, such as "no", "hand" or "stay", as they can get confused in the animal's head and it will not understand what you to mean.
As long as your dog hasn't assimilated its own name, avoid using it to scold, yell or scold your new companion. If this happens, the dog may relate the name to negative things and will not feel comfortable. It is important to familiarize him, so that he feels good about the name you have chosen for him, associating it with positive ideas.
