how long does it take for a dog to learn his name?

Answer 1

They'll learn *really* fast with clicker training.

They never really think of themselves having a name like we do.

What they will learn is that when they hear "their name," something good is going to happen, so they'd better pay attention.

Devote about 5-10 minutes once or twice a day to doing this (it might take you more days than I'm suggesting):

Day one
1. Get a clicker and some treats
2. "Charge the clicker"--click and treat, click and treat, they'll see that clicking is good

Day two
3. Say the name, click and treat. Do that a whole bunch of times.

Day three
4. See if it's working. Try saying the name, if they turn to you, click and treat.

Day four
5. Call their name, always click and give verbal praise, but only reward the treat randomly

Now they will have an extremely positve association with their name.

Never use that name to scold them. Only use words like no or bad.

Their name shoudn't have a negative association--it's just a way to get their attention.

Also, some trainers suggest to use a "code name" when you are not talking directly to the dog, because they will be confused when you are talking about them--they'll try to pay attention, but you may not notice them since you're talking to someone else.

Answer 2

I don't really know because I have had my dog for quite some time, 3 yrs, and he still doesn't know his name. He'll come to you no matter what you call him. But if you repeat it enough they should learn it. Another thing is the tone you use it in, just think what tone you say sit it, and they sit. If you pick a tone and say that with the name I think it helps.

Answer 3

I got my now 4 month old Bichonpoo when she was 12 weeks old and she learned her name in just under 2 weeks. It takes persistence, a lot of praise and some treats.

Answer 4

on the grounds that a dogs's "call" is particularly in basic terms a sparkling command for them it is going to not be too a brilliant situation to tutor your dogs to respond to new call. in case you had long previous to a defend and rescued a dogs who desires a sparkling abode, you've no thought what her call substitute into before and could would desire to supply her a sparkling one. What the situation the place you got your dogs substitute into calling her could not somewhat make a difference. in basic terms use the hot call generally as area of compliment and while giving a command. by no ability use the call in a detrimental way like formerly a correction. "solid woman Kimora" - solid, "Kimora No!!"- undesirable. How long it is going to particularly take, of path, relies upon on the dogs, in basic terms wait and see and it is normally in basic terms effective.

Answer 5

it depends on how many times you say it and how smart the dog is it took my dog about 4-5 weeks but it also depends on tjhe breed also, DON'T EVER call them anything else before they learn they're name because it'll confuse them bigtime and sometimes it will also depend on the name or the person who calls them anymore questions, click on my name 2 email me

It depends what type of dog he is or how smart he is. Dogs sometimes don't really like to listen to there owner so you'll maybe have to train him for a while.
