| how long did it take for them to know there name? Snickers already new his name when we got him from the breeder. So far, its been three weeks and I swear sweet marie has no clue. Same breeder, same parents. The only difference is girl vs boy. |

| I taught my yorkie her name by whispering it in her ear over and over again. She learned within a few days. |

| I read in a book about rescues that dogs will respond to their new name and not the old name in 2 weeks. I would guess that if you keep calling her by her new name and rewarding when she responds she'll learn it. Although we've had Sherman now since Labor Day weekend and he only comes to "Baby" so I call him "Baby Sherman", whatever works right?
