How to Name Your Dog

Even if you know you want your dog’s name to start with E, you’ll still need to consider other factors before deciding on the perfect one. For example, does your dog’s personality seem more suited to a particular name?

Does their color or other physical traits match the name? Is there a character or historical figure whose name starts with E that you admire? Whatever criteria you use to choose your dog’s name, remember to stick to your choice once you’ve made it. Dogs learn their names quickly and can get confused if you waver in your decision.
