Call the name, and when your pup comes to you, reward with enthusiasm or by giving a treat. When you’re teaching your dog its name, wait until your pup isn’t watching you. A name that sounds similar is less confusing for your dog. If you’re adopting your dog and giving it a new name, I advise you to choose something similar to the original name. When it comes to deciding on what you should name your dog, I highly suggest you use names with one or two syllables as they work better than a long name. Use a name you would be proud and comfortable to yell in dog park full of other dogs and pet owners. A lot of owners take their dogs everywhere, going on long walks or hiking in the woods. All Southern dogs don’t ride in the back of a pickup, which isn’t a safe way for your dog to travel, anyway. Many people have misconceptions about Southern dog owners. Many of the names that Southerners bestow on their canines have been passed down through families for generations. The dogs that share their homes are part of the family. In the South, canines are more than just companions to many dog owners. Southerners have strong attachments to their families, friends, land, and especially the dogs in their lives. From female Southern dog names Daisy, Belle, Anna Mae, Dixie, and Scarlett, to male Southern dog names like Atticus, Winston, Shelby, and Jackson, the options are endless if you want to call your new pup something that’s true to the Southern culture.
