Hi All

We were just wondering would a 27 month old learn a new name? or would it be better to keep her name as it is?

thanks Smile

The dog would most likely learn it in time. If you imagine some rescue dogs get new names after years of being unwanted. My last dog was 4 before I got her.

If I'd named a dog I would never want to change it though personally.

It'll be no problem then Smile

Just repeat her name a lot and say it every chance you get.

Yeah. Our old Boxer was a rescue, he was one, two or three years old when we got him (no-one seemed to know); his previous name was Butch but we re-named him Zac. Just constantly say the new name and make a big fuss of her Smile

I call lexi something new every time i see her, dogs understand some words for commands but a name is just another command for "come here" so it doesnt really matter what it is as long as the dog know what the command is.
