Mrs Rusty Bucket Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 try to pick something that doesn't start with the same consonants or rhyme with your command words... So anything that rhymes with sit, stay, okay, are probably out for me. Some I've seen used... Fee (Fiona or Phoebe) Pea Wag Cor Gee Spy Tee Ash Mee Bell Beau Moll My dog is Frosty. Next one might be Smokey, or Sooty (tho that sounds a bit like Sit), Stormy, Snowy... Names you can repeat for attention eg Bea Bea Bea Bea are quite good. But you can always have a pet name and a competition run name... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pjrt Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 I like Pea :) That reminds me ....I have groomed both an 'M' & a 'Q' in my years grooming! That is how they were said & spelled! Can't get much shorter than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piper Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Atticus my pup gets Atti when working. He now will respond to both names! Plus I am really enjoying being able to accentuate Atticus as I'm running around. Daisy dets lots of Daze but her name is harder to stretch out. I find daisy easy to stretch out by changing it to "BEAGLE!" Lol :) ROFL - Maybe it is a beagle thing? Lots of people don't know ours is called Jessi as she mostly gets "beagle" or "the beagle".

Sayreovi Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Don't do what I did and call your dog Nova. One day in I realised I will NEVER be able to use the word No. I will one up you and also call another dog Jovi who regulary gets called Jove and I call Nova 'Nove'......my poor confused dogs I have a Jovi, and I am bias but I adore her name. It's unique and easy to say in a hurry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Spotted Devil Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 I call my dogs by the wrong names all the time...especially on course. The dogs just shrug their shoulders, get me out of trouble and turn a DQ into a quallly as if to say "meh, she's one of those more difficult to train breeds" :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Rusty Bucket Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 I swear - I've never called my dog "Bucket" on course. I have stood out there going "lost, lost... lost...". But nobody can hear what I say because by then she's barking at me as if that helps me remember... maybe I should change her name to "this way dis dis way - arrrggghh". Is yelling BEAGLE - like an alert warning - "BEAGLE - coming through"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
