Training your Frenchie to know their new name

Now that you’ve chosen the perfect dog name, it’s time to help your pup learn it! Start using your chosen name consistently from day one, saying it with joy and enthusiasm before meals, walks, and playtime to create positive associations. Remember that dogs typically respond best to names that are one or two syllables, but don’t let that stop you from choosing longer names, you can always use a nickname for everyday use while keeping the full name for special occasions. Practice calling their name in different tones and situations so they recognize it whether you’re calling excitedly at the dog park or speaking softly when they’re resting. Most dogs learn their names within a few days to a week with consistent, positive use.
