Can names be too similar and confuse a dog? I was wondering if anyone has two dogs with similar but slightly different names and if it confuses them. For example: Mindy and Cindy. Why I'm asking is that I have a Lola but I like the name Fiona. If I named my next one Fiona would both dogs be confused because the end sound is the same? I know people can tell the difference but can dogs? I know this is a silly question but I just wondered. |
Thas a good question. I know my baby had a problem with the beginning sounds in words like the sit and stand because of the S sound so i had to do a different word for stand so i used the japanese word for stand which starts with a k. I know that I have a problem with my neighbors bulldogs Dolly and Dally... :confused: I think the dogs can get confused off of that.. I think because u started with two different constants that start their names it will be ok. |
I have a charlie & karleigh , we named them that way on pupose, they no there names by all means, funny thing is we call them by nicknames most of the time, charlie is ta ta, and karleigh baby girl, your names sound cute:) |
I think they will know the difference. At our house it doesn't matter which one we call cause they all come running to see if the other one is getting a treat without them,lol. |
I named my babies Tia and Maria and they both know their individual names but if one thinks the other is getting a treat, they both come running :) |
I have Kiley, Callie and Allie and they know who I am talking to when I call them.. |
i have had to be careful with my names because mine do get confused. I have ceeby, sadie, and Shay that all end with nearly the same sound so my two girls have nicknamee but usually round here they are all "baby'. |
I think they'll know their own names, but they'll still both respond when you call them. |
I have Monday and Friday and they response the quickest to "Cookie treat" .... Joking, but someone did say that might confuse them. So far Monday (the 4 year old) knows her name, but Friday (the 8 month old) is always looking perplexed. |
yeah... I am kind of having this problem right now with Bella and Bunny... My hubby can call Bunny and Bella will come and he can call Bella and Bunny will come...Not ALL the time thou, But most of the time... I think its more of not wanting to listen to him lol BC when he is at work I have NO problem what so ever when I call my girls... I just think they dont want to listen to him |

We have Reecey and Gracie....wayyyyyyyy too confusing here!! I would suggest names that are different but its up to you...try it out with Lola and see if see responds to it..if she does it might not be a good idea...Fiona and Lola dont sound the same to me...and have a different tone to them...Reecey and Gracie sound almost exactly alike when you say them..and they both come running...lol..

I named mine Jack & Jake... I also thought this was going to be confusing but it has been no problem....when I call Jack, he looks ...Jake, he looks.... they know...:) |
