Many times when people get a dog they don't know the dog's name and have to give them a new one. I like the idea of "a new life, a new name." My dogs have many nicknames and they answer to all of them. Just start calling the dog the name you want to use and he'll catch on quickly. Maybe use the old name and the new name together for a few days and then drop the old name. He'll understand the tone of your voice with no problem and know the new name/word is good! |
