question about names i am getting an 8 month old yorkie this weekend. he already has a name. do people change there names at that age being the dog already knows its name? i don't want to confuse the poor guy. thanks kelly |
I know someone who did that with a rescue beagle that is around 5 years old, but I don't know if it would work with a little yorkie or not. I'm no help, am I?:D |
I got a yorkie at 17 months and changed his name. I had read a thread here about it and most people said it was no problem and it totally wasn't. He knew his new name within a day. I couldn't believe how easy it was. I think they just respond to your tone of voice naturally so it makes it easy. My daughter loves to tease me by calling my other dog, Gracie, Barky. She'll call out "here Barky"! And poor little Gracie comes running. Anyway, I say go for it! Congrats on your new baby! |
this is what i would do.. i would call him by the two names at a time. then eventually drop one name... but call him the name he knows first.. dont know what else to say sorry |
no thanks everyone. i wouldnt mind keeping his name what it already is but i think i would rather give him my own name. but if it would just confuse him then i won't. but thanks for the ideas. |
what is him name? and what name do you want to give him? |
I have heard of pople changing the name of their rescue dogs on here. He is still young I bet it wouldnt confuse him. |
I think you should do what ever makes you comfortable. If they can adjust to a new home, new surroundings and all, surely they can adjust to a new name. :) |
wow you guys really are helpful. his name is nori. and i don't have a name picked out yet. any suggestions?? |
nori is a cute name |
i do agree and it's not like i already have a name in mind. when i got my sallie taht was her name and i didn't change it. the name looked like it fit her so i kept it. |
I like Nori!!! It sounds very cute!!!!!!!!!! |
so you guys think its a keeper??? |
i would think so, sure... i like it alot,, |
Oh I think that is a cute name too and original. |
