If you were getting a dog today - what would you call it? What NOT to name your dog...


Naming a new dog is serious business...

After all, you'll be saying that name over and over for years to come. Animal training experts say the best names for a dog are two syllables. One syllable names can be confusing to your new pooch, especially if you're trying to teach them commands. You'll want to stay clear of names like Schmidt, Shay, Fletch or Mo if you plan on teaching your dog words like sit, stay, fetch or no. It's also a good idea to avoid names with three or more syllables. Those will be harder for a young dog to get used to, especially if you wind up shortening it on occasion.

Another name to avoid for your new dog is a popular name. Bella, Bailey, Max, Molly or Buddy may get confused at the dog park when they hear everyone calling their name.
