And only after that begin the thorough training of the animal.
In order for the dog to easily get used to the new name, the owner must always refer to the animal, mentioning the intended name. Each action of the puppy must be accompanied by the voice of the owner, who must pronounce the dog's nickname with a commendable speech. During the training period of the dog, the owner should not run after the puppy throughout the house - it is necessary to call the dog to him by pronouncing its nickname. This is especially true of the feeding time. During play, the dog must be praised, each time referring to it by name.
