Nicknames for dogs
An owner considers the following factors when naming their dog:
- The nickname should be bright, sonorous – quickly attract the dog"s attention.
- In order for the animal to remember the name faster, you do not need to choose long nicknames – a maximum of 2-3 syllables.
- A nickname that is too short will also confuse the dog – it can be similar to hundreds of sounds that a person makes.
- The nickname should not be consonant with common commands that they plan to teach the dog – "you can", "take", "sit", "you can"t", etc.
Native speakers of other languages can give pets of both sexes Chinese nicknames, which are notable for their adaptability. In the nation’s east, Wangai is the most well-liked (Wangai). "Bring prosperity to the family" is the translation. However, the pun in the name is intriguing: "van" sounds like the barking, "woof" of a dog.
