Who...Me??
Ah, yes. The sound of my name is music to my ears! Each time I hear my name, I've learned to run to whoever is saying it. It means that something nice is going to happen. Sometimes I get a belly rub or someone throws a toy or I get a treat. All I have to do is come and check it out. Easy! Jenn says that a puppy's name should always mean good things to them. If you are upset, you best say something else, like "naughty pup!" or "fudge!" instead of your puppy's name. If you use your pup's name for any sort of unpleasantness, they will be less responsive to you overall. They will learn that bad things happen when they respond to you. Remember, say your puppy's name and goodness happens!
