Get Help When Choosing The Best Names For A bulldog
Now that you’ve got a few ideas of what you could name your Bulldog, you might have zeroed in on a name or two that you really like.
If you didn’t find a match for your dog, you could enlist the help of your dog to choose his own name. There are a few ways that you can make the naming process fun and let your dog decide his own name!
Call out a few names
If you have a few names that you are fond of and can’t make up your mind, choose the name that your puppy responds to.
All you have to do is sit your puppy in the middle of the room and start calling out a name. Keep in mind that you won’t want to call out the names in rapid succession, wait for thirty seconds before calling out the next name.
When your dog does respond to a name, that will be his new name!
Family input
If you aren’t the only one in the house, ask other people to come up with some names.
Each of you can pick your favorite name and stand in a circle with the puppy standing in the middle. Each person takes turns calling out their desired puppy name.
The puppy’s name will be the name that the person he goes up to is calling out.
Flashcards
Write the possible names on a bunch of flashcards, one card per name. Then put them all around the room with a treat on each card.
Whichever treat your puppy eats first will be the name that you call him.
Choosing toys
Much like the flash card, if your puppy has several favorite toys, you can label each toy with a name you like.
Whichever toy he goes for first will be the pup’s new name.
Final Word
When it comes to trying to figure out what is the best Bulldog name for your puppy, sometimes the best way to choose a name is by enlisting the help of family members or even your Bulldog!
Of course, you could go the old fashion route and just through a bunch of names into a hat and pick one. Whatever name you choose, is the name of your pup.
Whatever way you choose to select the name of your new best friend, you want to make sure it is a name that you feel comfortable calling your dog in front of others.
You think it might be funny calling your pooch “Butkis” at home, but just imagine how you’d feel calling out that name in the park or down the road should they get loose! Oh, the hilarity and possible embarrassment! With that in mind, choose wisely!
