We got a Golden Retriever puppy during the summer and I picked out the name Sapphire. Even though she isn't blue (haha), I just loved that name. So then everyone kept asking us why we named her Sapphire, and my mom was talking to someone and they said there actually is a golden colored sapphire stone out there. Kinda interesting….

Sirius Puppy Training Honolulu. You want a polite dog that will sit for strangers. People get scared and annoyed by jumping, barking dogs. Also learn its name and make eye contact acknowledgement. First day of class. This is more for the humans. Instructor Wendy Mah.
This style is treat reward-based.
Cesar Dog Whisperer is choke collar, punishment-based.
Each has its merits and drawbacks.

This is another list of inspiration for unusual dog names. I will keep adding to it.

Don’t forget to check the common sense rules of dog naming before you pick anything you might regret later.

Again, I am not aiming for a huge list, just a selection of nice ones to give ideas. If you want long lists there are sites out there which literally list 10% of the dictionary.

This is another list of inspiration for unusual dog names. This time names that go well with black. I will keep adding to it. But don’t forget there is no reason to let the color block you - it could be fun to call a black dog snowball.
