Important question before it’s too late... - 05/02/20 02:23 PM
Got a pup last week and my wife and I were pretty set on the name “Nova”. We both like it and I primarily hunt with my Benelli Supernova, hence the name fit. Then it occurred to me... it could be a big issue to name her that because it’s not very distinguishable from correcting behavior with “No”.
That being said, what’s your vote?
1) change the name while the pup is still young (about 9 weeks) and don’t look back?
2) leave the name since she is already starting to pick up on it and use another word for discipline like “stop”
Or 3) don’t worry about it and make sure voice inflection gets the discipline across when it presents itself.
Feel free to offer other suggestions and I appreciate the help.
