How to Choose the Perfect Name
The name you choose will be used thousands of times over your pet's lifetime. Here are behaviorist-backed tips:
- 1-2 syllables — Pets respond faster to short names.
- Vowel endings — Names like Luna, Charlie, Coco naturally rise in pitch, which pets find engaging.
- Avoid command confusion — "Kit" sounds like "sit," "Bo" sounds like "no."
- Say it 10 times aloud — You'll call this in parks, at the vet, across the house.
