Today it has already been scientifically proven that certain nicknames can affect the nature and behavior of dogs.
This is especially true for those nicknames that have special meaning.
Therefore, many dog breeders specifically choose such names in order to give the dog certain traits or to strengthen their influence. These nicknames for German boys include the following.

- Iga is a hunter. This name is suitable, in principle, for all dogs of this breed, because they have an innate thin scent.
- Best is the best. So it is customary to call the most agile, first or simply unusual puppy from the litter. But giving such a name to a German boy, it is worthwhile to understand that the owner dooms the pet to eternal leadership.
- Lauder is loud. A dog who has powerful and sonorous barking from birth will become an ideal bearer of such a name.
- Mutih - the brave. A good nickname for a puppy from which will grow a strong, bold and intelligent dog of the German Shepherd, which will become a real protector.
- Glucky is happy. A good-natured and affectionate puppy who loves affection and attention. Having received such a nickname, even in adulthood, the dog will be attached and affectionate with the owner and members of his family.
- Lope is a wolf. The nickname is suitable, in principle, for all dogs of the German Shepherd, as their ancestors were these brave and dangerous wild animals.
- Wild is wild. The nickname is suitable for a pet that has strong independence, as well as for those animals that are almost impossible to obey. A dog with that name will always have a wayward character.
This will not only affect the character of the pet, but will also make it possible to distinguish the dog among his kind.

How can one be accustomed to a name?
Choosing the right nickname for a little German dog is half the battle. The second half consists in the correct and quick training of the puppy to him. It should be understood that the first couple of weeks the nickname will have to be pronounced many times a day, so that the puppy remembers it.
- The name is pronounced strictly, clearly and clearly, pronouncing each letter well.
- If after two repetitions of the nickname the dog does not respond, you should say the name one more time, but more menacingly and a little louder. This is necessary to attract the attention of the animal.
- Each time the dog will respond to his nickname and approach the owner, the dog should be encouraged with a small treat. This will fix the acquired reflex.
- When the puppy gets used to the name and begins to respond to it the first time, then since then the nickname is pronounced only when the animal must really be called to itself.
And also, the pet should be chosen carefully and thoughtfully, because over the next few years the owner of the dog and his relatives will have to hear it many times a day.
