Name change

As we got April from a rescue society we are thinking of changing her name. April does not suit a brindle staffy,so we are going to change it to Meg which is much more Staffy. What do others think of changing names?

Not a problem as long as it's done properly. Use treats & say her new name & treat - do it as often as you can & she'll soon start to respond to it!

As Caryll says you shouldn't have any problems , a lot is in the tone you say it , not the name you use, MEG looks great in your avatar too , however as you have been a member now since Friday have to say I am personally dissapointed with the lack of piccies you have provided us with (other than your avatar pic count = 0 )

Here's a link may help you out with your obvious problem (please post in Galleries) you have 12 hours sarting from now

Should not be a problem.

Hi and welcome to the forum from Rocky and me.

hope Meg soon gets used to her new name

I asked a similar question when wanting to change Denzil to Dexter, we changed it and he knows it already after just nine days. Clever things these dogs...if someone started calling me something else (and many probably have just not to my face ) I would take forever to get used to it!

Yeah, we changed our old dog's name from Butch to Zac and he picked it up no problem, so just overload her with her new name, in a happy, friendly tone, and she'll pick up on it easily

Hi we changed busters name from boss but he has so many names as said above its more the tone
Meg sounds a great name

Hi and welcome from Kia and me,
they are very clever little dogs so she will pick up her new name quickly im sure when we got Kia her name was Kaiya like Dave said a lot of it is in the tone that you say her new name,
also you are being very shy with the photos its a must on here we like to see lots of photos
