Why teach your dog their name

  • Safety

    If your dog recognizes their name when called, it increases their safety by reducing the risk of them getting lost or entering potentially dangerous situations

  • Identity

    You know your dog's name and they should too! Even dogs need an identity

  • Clear expectations

    Teaching your dog their name will help them understand when you’re talking to them, calling them, and generally looking for their attention
