There are literally tens of thousands of female dog names to choose from; or you can simply make up your own.

So how do you choose a name for your new dog?

Here are some tips:

1. Make it Memorable

You want something that is appealing and attractive to both you and the dog.

2. Short and Simply

Long dog names don't work well because they are harder for the dog to recognize and respond to.

One syllable names are generally preferred but two syllables can also work. Above all you will want the name to be easy to shout out and have some hard consonants in it as this is what dogs respond to.

3. Fits Your Dog

Some dog names really suit a particular animal whilst others seem out of place. Think about your dog's size, breed and personality before deciding on a name.

Once you entire family is happy with the selection of dog names you should start using it as often as possible towards the dog - eventually she will realize that you are talking to her and that is certainly a most rewarding feeling for any dog owner!
