Bernese Mountain Dog name tips

There are many sources of inspiration to choose from when naming your furry friend, such as your favorite foods, books, celebrities, your heritage, or even the breed's history. For example, you could name your Bernese pup after an animal like Bear or choose a color-themed name like Coffee.

One important factor to consider when choosing your dog's name is their training. This is especially crucial for puppies. When you're teaching your new pup commands like sit, stay, or come, it's best to avoid names that sound like common dog training cues. Just think, you wouldn't want to name your puppy "Chip," which might be misheard as "sit" during training.

Another important aspect of choosing a Bernese Mountain Dog name is that the name flows naturally off your tongue. Give the name a test run in your backyard, shouting after ‘Everest!’ or ‘Heidi!’ and see how it feels. Go on, we won’t judge.

Got a trip planned but can’t bring your four-legged friend along? Whether it’s a summer vacation or a weekend away for work, we’re sure “finding a dog sitter near me” is top of your to-do list!
