Dog Naming Advice
Are you considering a name from PAW Patrol for your dog? Or is your little fan hoping you’ll choose a name from the show for the puppy? You’re not alone. Some dog owners just know their pet is a Chase or Marshall as soon as they make eye contact, but if you’re having trouble deciding, keep in mind that a cute dog name can come from many different sources of inspiration, such as your favorite foods, books, celebrities, your heritage, or even dog breed history.
For example, a French Bulldog puppy might sport a French-inspired name like Chloe, while a German dog breed could carry a name like Bruno. And your favorite PAW Patrol names could get a twist for your own pooch, of course. Chance rather than Chase? Mitchell rather than Marshall? The sky’s the limit.
Of course, what matters most is that the dog name you choose rolls off your tongue with ease. You’ll want to select a name that you feel comfortable repeating because you’ll be saying it…a lot. Your dog’s name should make you happy! We’re fans of the “backdoor test” for dog name selection. It’s pretty much what it sounds like: stand at the back door and call out your new dog‘s potential name. Saying “Everest, it’s time for dinner!” or “Zuma, leave it!” helps take the name out of your imagination and into reality.
