After you have named your dog, be sure that you use it often so he learns it quickly. Use his name when you are playing with him, petting him, hugging him, or just trying to get his attention. Use his name a lot! |
|
Never use your dog's name when you are angry or when you are disciplining him. You want your dog to like his name. If you raise your voice every time you use his name, he won't like it and he won't come when you call him. |
