Perfect names for a Chocolate Lab male might just happen, as it did with one of our dogs. You’re playing with the puppy, rolling him around and wondering what to call him. He babbles puppy squeaks and sharp barks at you. You babble back in gobbledygook. Then, without warning, the gobbledygook sounds like a name. You try it, and the puppy responds eagerly. You try it again and get the same response. It might be completely different from what you thought you would name a dog, but somehow it fits.
Sometime, the perfect name for your Chocolate Lab will be the name of a person from history. Attila might fit a rambunctious puppy. Nimrod was a famous hunter. Chaplin was a famous clown – which your Chocolate Lab might well be.
It is said that a dog will live up to the name you give him. From that standpoint, perfect names for Chocolate Lab males might be adjectives such as “happy” or “lucky”.
Helpful Tips
Perfect names for a Chocolate Lab male should usually be at least two syllables. Longer names prove easier for a dog to hear than shorter ones. For example, “Chocolate, come” is much easier for your dog than “Lab, come.”
Test names before giving them to your dogs. Be sure they don’t sound like a word you will be using as a command. “Cocoa” should be pronounced “Co-co-a” to avoid confusion with the command “No.”
Once you choose a name, use it many times each day so the dog will learn it. Always use it in a positive way. If the dog is naughty, scold him without using his name. You want your Chocolate Lab to like his name, and come the minute he hears it.
