Name change ?

As you know Boabz has recently moved in with Toro and Inka, my problem is his name BObo is so close to Toro it is interfering with training, inside and outside...he really will answer to anything as long as hes getting attention...
I like soldier, so he will possibly be known as soldier from now on just so theres no confusion on here

What do you think ?

Occasionally as dogs pass from one place to another in the dog guide program, their names are changed, and they seem to do all right. I think you are right.

Yup makes sense
Dogs cope with a name change fine. just take time and a handfull of chicken and he will no his new name

I dont see any harm in changing it. My dogs have about 5 nicknames each, lol, and they understand each one!!!

aw thanks guys, I've changed the name at the vets this morning, so Soldier it is xx

On the other hand, my mum's neighbour has two Collie crosses, brother and sister, bought together as pups from a farm 6 years ago. They are called Bonnie and Bobby and yes, they know their own names, despite the similarity.

Sounds like a good name change! I figure that many dogs have to go through a name change at some point. They're picked up as strays and rehomed or dumped at a shelter and renamed. I have no idea what Dahlia's name was before but she adapted to her new name quickly!

i like soldier

Soldier's a great name for Bobo.

How come he's with you now Elaine? Did I miss something?

Good name!
I changed my greyhound's name from Heidi to Holly. It took her about 1 day to get used to it!!
She doesn't respond to heidi at all now.
