Selection features

In order for the nickname really fit the animal, and it felt comfortable, It is necessary to take into account some of the nuances of choosing nicknames for pets.
- These animals are of aristocratic and noble origin. Therefore, to call them some funny or joking nicknames is still not worth it. Firstly, such dogs will continue to look awkward, and secondly, the nickname still leaves an imprint on the animal itself, its character and behavior.
- The recommended length of a name is 2-3 syllables, it should consist of a maximum of 5-6 letters. If a pug has a noble origin and pedigree, then usually it has a long name given to him in the nursery. In such cases, an abbreviated version of the name is selected for the animal to communicate daily, so the dog will be able to remember it more easily.
- Zoopsychologists and professional breeders insist that the nicknames containing roaring sounds are best given up. Over time, even the most peaceful pug with such a nickname can begin to show unmotivated aggression.
- Pugs are of Chinese origin, so often their breeders choose them oriental names. But before making the final choice, it is important to find out the true meaning of the nickname.
- For small dogs of this breed, it is necessary to choose nicknames with such vowels as "a", "y" and "o". Pets respond well to nicknames that contain hissing sounds.
- Nicknames should be avoided, the sound of which is similar to the main commands of dressage. A pug can start to confuse sounds and just stop executing commands.
It is worth remembering that when choosing a name that is too complicated and long, the animal will get used to it for a long time, and in stressful situations the owner will not be able to instantly attract the attention of the dog to himself.
