He probably does not know his name yet, but if he does respond to it, then say his new name first and then his old name and he will soon start to anticipate his old name when he hears the new name.
Say his new name when you feed him, or give him treats or affection. They really do not understand the concept of a naame anyway, just that when you say that "word" they are going to get something nice. Which is why you should never use their name when you scold them. |
