Congratulations for your success training your puppy. The two of you are working very well together.

Isabella is a beautiful name, but the number of syllables may be the problem with your pup learning her name. I have read that dog names ideally should be 2 syllables and they should not sound like command words. There are also some letter combinations that appeal more to a dog's ear.

Say the name whenever you greet your pup or touch your pup. Tickle her chest and say something like, "Isabella, my puppy, my sweetie pie, Isabella..." and so on.
