My Teddy was 8 months old when I brought him home from the breeder and I changed his name. DvlshAngel changed Kaji's name when he was a year old. We agreed that it is almost as if our dogs wanted new names to go with their new homes.
Teddy responded to his new name immediately, whereas he didn't when I said his previous moniker. He really seemed to like Teddy. I think it may have helped that the new name started with the same letter and sound as the old.
The reason I'm awake and posting at this hour is that we are having a nasty thunderstorm and I'm consoling Teddy.
