When I brought Teek home he would not answer to his name at all. We picked out a new name for him, Teek, and within 2 days he was responding to it. After that he would come when I called him. Even now, if I call him by his old name he will turn away from me and pout or put his head under a blanket and ignore me.
Maybe the dog wants a new name or doesn't like his old name?
Teek was 9 years old when I got him and they had gotten him as a puppy so he knew that was his name. I think he thought that if he had that name he might be going back to them or something. I changed his name and it was like he knew he was spending the rest of his life with me.
