thats a REALLY nice dog...

you could alway's call it TARO....

but it's wise to give your dog 2 names...
one for use everyday...another when things are serios

i used to have a german sheppard cross...
she was called kio...or key....but when things were serios i called her KILLER...
and she knew that was when shit mattered.....

you could REALLY scare people....
"Killer SIT"...and the dog would park its arse immediatly!
say kio sit...and she would sit....but perhaps 5 seconds later...in her own time...

For a dog we are looking for a breed called a Utonagan. Its a husky X german sheperd and resembles a wolf.



For the cat I'm thinking of a short haired siamese.


Fancied having a japanese name for each as would be cool. just wondered if anyone had some good ideas? Im thinking maybe okami for the dog? maybe Shodan (word for black belt isnt it? spelling?) Either that or the japanese name for the pokemon Mighteyena which is " グラエナ Guraena ". but I'm unsure what It means.



No ideas for the cat..

Any help would be appreciated muchly!
Name the pet: Gaijin

:D

wouldn't it just confuse the dog, to have two names?
So long as yo use a different tone of voice that should be good enough.

@ SHADOW

as for names, I am really not good at thinking of names for other people's pets, but if I come up with any, I'll post them here.

Aww, but how, it would be an awesome name for the dog.

Like 'Gauff gauff!' Like dog barking sound effect.


and then 'jin, jin' as the cat sound effect.

A unisex and unispecies name for a dog/cat

Gaijin!

it won't confuse the dog.

the advantage of having two names as aposed to using tone of voice,
is that 2 names gives you greater flexibility....
dogs are VERY sensetive to things like tone of voice...

if you tell it something in an agressive tone...its going to be in an agressive frame of mind....
but with 2 names....you can still talk in the same calm voice.....

that can avoid escelating the situation...

also i NEVER talked to my dog in an agressive tone.

the best command to teach the dog is the "wait" command...:D

its VERY flexible

huh. I didn't know all this. I didn't mean using an aggressive tone, though. just a more serious one.
