Choosing the right name for your four-legged friend can be really difficult.

It is important to take into account that it must comply with some simple rules so that the pet can easily learn to respond.

As experts note, the nickname should be short and easy to pronounce. This is important because there are emergency situations when you need to call the dog immediately.
