I still will occasionally use Linus and Stetson&#8217;s names with the NO or STAY command.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, you might be wondering why can&#8217;t we use our puppy&#8217;s name with the STAY command.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The main reason we don&#8217;t associate our dog&#8217;s name with the STAY command is that the puppy&#8217;s name should be synonymous with the COME command.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I say my puppy&#8217;s name he&nbsp;should COME to me. That is quite the contradiction from STAY.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is also very difficult to avoid using your dog&#8217;s name with something negative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My biggest problem is when Linus or Stetson does something wrong I&#8217;ll say their name in a very negative voice. Sometimes I catch myself&#8230;sometimes I don&#8217;t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Scolding your puppy when he comes to you&#8230;another bad habit that can be difficult to break. Why wouldn&#8217;t you want to scold your puppy after he comes to you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s say he just chewed up your new shoes and you say &#8220;<strong>Stetson Come<\/strong>&#8220;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He comes to you as you commanded (made the correct choice). Then you scold him! Do you think he&#8217;s going to come to you next time?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No! You should praise him when he comes to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The only time you should scold your puppy is when you catch him in the <a href=\"https:\/\/puppyintraining.com\/my-puppy-pees-outside-then-pees-inside\/\">act of doing something wrong<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not changing your name or calling your dog by a nickname is more of a Guide Dog thing, but is also good for a young puppy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It can be confusing for a young puppy if you&#8217;re calling him by several different names.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I tried hard with Linus, but my sister, my roommate, and my ex-girlfriend each had a nickname for him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I constantly told them not to use nicknames. Here are a few they used: Linie, Linikins, Linoceros, and Puppy Chow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve been very strict with Stetson and people are usually more understanding since he&#8217;s training to be a guide dog.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/puppyintraining.com\/how-to-teach-your-puppy-his-name\/teach-puppy-name4\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-26885\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/puppyintraining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/01\/teach-puppy-name4.jpg\" alt=\"Teaching our puppy his name\" class=\"wp-image-26885\" srcset=\"https:\/\/puppyintraining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/01\/teach-puppy-name4.jpg 600w, https:\/\/puppyintraining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/01\/teach-puppy-name4-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/puppyintraining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/01\/teach-puppy-name4-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Here comes Charlie!
