Cool Dog Names - Page 2

      One fun part of every new puppy owner’s experience is getting to bestow a worthy name upon their new companion. A name is pretty much the first thing you will teach your new friend as you are setting the stage for later development. As you train your dog in the ways of your world, the single most used word out of your mouth will be his/her name. It is by no surprise that many new puppy owners get hung up on a name choice. Pulling the trigger on the first name you think of can leave you with regrets. Any disappointment can be avoided by letting the name come to you. In the meantime, introducing yourself to cool dog names can help spark your thoughts.

      The coolest names are characterized by their uniqueness and fit. People have come to expect the common names like Spot, Ace, and Lady. While these are great names, they are lacking that little extra zing that helps them stand out. On the other hand, a name like Genesis will turn heads because it is new and surprising. To help put the exclamation point on a unique name, it should encompass some characteristic or story related to your pup. For example, you could go with Lego for the new puppy that is constantly drawn to your child’s Lego collection. The name has a uniqueness factor and a good story to share with your friends.

      Another way that a dog name can catapult itself to cooldom is by means of an awesome dog. One such example is Dozer. Dozer is a Goldendoodle that broke free of his invisible fence to join runners in the Maryland Half Marathon. Dozer joined up after the first five miles of the race and was seen on television and by many throughout the course. After etching his name in doggy history, Dozer made it back to his family safely. There is a new eight mile run (starting at the five mile mark) of the Maryland Half Marathon called Dozer’s Dash in honor of this great dog. Dozer has his own fan page and has helped raise a lot of money for cancer research.
