Does the name Belle work rlly good for pups in obedience training?

i'd rly like to name my golden retriever pup Belle, but is it a good name that they repond to?





if so i'd like to also ask if you have any cute names urself that they respond to well. thank you|||I have been told by a dog trainer that dogs 1. respond better to two syllable names because most commands are 1 syllable (sit, stay, come, down, heel, etc) and 2. that dogs respond better to names that end in a e-sound (Bailey, Sammie, Cookie, etc)...this may not be true for everyone, but he told me that this was something he had noticed with his students. I personally like the name Bailey, but thats just me :) Good luck with your new puppy.|||It doesn't matter what you name the dog. They will learn their name and respond to it. If they don't then they probably just don't want to. Try to make it simple on them. They say that dogs learn syllables not words. So a one or two syllable word will be easier for her to respond to.|||Any name is really good for your dog. You just have to be consistent when calling it's name.|||Honey, the dog's name doesn't matter that much in obedience as long as it isn't the same as a command. Dogs respond to body language, tone and eventually A command, not their name. I rarely even use a dog's name any more when obedience training or trialing.





Belle is a fine name but isn't relevant to obedience training the dog.|||The name Belle isn't as good as far as training a dog as some others - simply because the 'L' is a soft consonant, and isn't heard as well as others. I have a dog with that nickname, and most of the time, I can't use it because she doesn't really hear it.





Other names like Gretchen or Fiona, with hard consonants in them are easier to hear, and also easier to accentuate when you really mean it...Tiffany or Tinker work just fine, too.
