It is also worth noting the choice of names that have a negative value, and whose carriers had negative traits.
How can you accustom to the name?
Choosing the right nickname for a little German dog is half the battle. The second half consists in correct and quick training of the puppy to him. It should be understood that the first couple of weeks the nickname will have to be pronounced many times a day for the puppy to remember it.
- The name is pronounced strictly, clearly and clearly, pronouncing each letter well.
- If after two repetitions of the nickname the dog does not respond, you should say the name one more time, but more threateningly and a little louder. This is necessary to attract the attention of the animal.
- Every time the dog responds to its name and approaches the owner, the dog should be encouraged with a small delicacy. This will fix the acquired reflex.
- When the puppy gets used to the name and starts responding to it the first time, from now on, the nickname is pronounced only when the animal needs to be really called to itself.
And yet, the pet should be chosen carefully and consciously, because over the next several years both the dog’s owner and his relatives will have to hear it many times a day.
