A nickname is as important to an animal as a name is to a person. You should not recklessly select a popular, intricate name before purchasing a pet, and even in the early days, the pet may remain nameless. Take a closer look at the behavior and habits of the four-legged friend, they will be the guides when choosing.
Instructions
Step 1
Consider a nickname that has two syllables. Such words are memorized as quickly and easily as possible by animals. A pet with a pedigree will definitely have a long and complex name, but you should also think about a shortened version. Not the last place in the matter of choice is occupied by the breed of animal. Choose German nicknames for shepherds, schnauzers, dachshunds, French nicknames for poodles, Scottish nicknames for terriers, Irish nicknames for wolfhounds and setters.
Step 2
When it comes to a dog. Discard names that sound similar to the commands: Sid - "Sit!", Funtik - "Fu!". It will be difficult for a dog to distinguish between such similar words.
Step 3
Try to make the name of the four-legged friend "grow" with him. "Kid" is unlikely to be appropriate when the dog reaches an impressive size.
Step 4
The name of a person influences his character, the emphasis on this is also done in the study of the influence of the nickname on the behavior of dogs. So, Hard will grow up confident, independent, but not prone to escapes. In most cases, they are kind, calm and resounding, ready to notify the owner about the guests at any time. But Palms, on the contrary, have a very unstable character, they are able to bite on the sly. The presence of the letter "r" in the nickname fosters determination, strength in all senses, self-confidence. Such nicknames are relevant for guard dogs, bodyguards, service dogs.
Step 5
The name for a cat can be based on appearance or character. From here there are Ryzhiks, Squirrels, Blackies, Shaluns, Robbers and Sonya. Give up the idea of calling a ball of wool by a human name, you risk getting into an awkward situation if a person with the same name is visiting.
Step 6
Ideally, if the word contains the sounds Ш, Ч, Ж, З, Ш, С, they are well perceived and remembered, which is why cats respond to "kitty-kitty". Another rule is the ending of the nickname with "and": Archie, Lussi, Sherry, Nessie.
Step 7
Pronounce the nickname loudly and clearly enough, cats are extremely sensitive to intonations in the pronunciation of their name, do not be surprised that the cat will refuse to approach when he hears an irritated call.
Step 8
You should not call the cat Vaska, Murzik or Musya, your pet deserves a unique name with a creative approach. If you find it difficult to determine the gender of a tiny kitten, give him a nickname that can easily transform from "male" to "female" by changing one letter.
If you already had a pet, give up the idea of using the nickname again. The name carries energy and there is a high probability that the new four-legged friend will repeat the fate of the previous one.
