The choice of a name for a puppy of Jack Russell Terrier should be taken seriously and responsibly. It should reflect the characteristics of the breed, such as activity, dexterity, mischief and high intelligence, as well as appearance. But do not forget about the individual characteristics of the pet. One or another nickname, the owner demonstrates a warm attitude to his dog and even gives it certain features.

• Before acquiring a dog, one should ask the breeders if the puppy already has a nickname. If the Jack Russell Terrier is already responding to some name, it may not make sense to change it. It will not be easy to teach a pet to a new name.
• Do not rush to choose a nickname - it is better to follow the puppy's behavior for a couple of days. This is the only way to reveal its individual characteristics, otherwise the owner risks falling into a trap.
• It is better to choose a nickname as a whole family. This approach will contribute to rapprochement and create a common positive attitude towards the pet. After all, if someone does not like the chosen name, then in the future, the negative associations associated with the nickname can go to the puppy itself. Therefore, the choice of a name must necessarily become the main topic of the family council.
• It is better that the nickname is simple, preferably no longer than two syllables. So it will be not only more convenient for the dog itself, but also for the owner. Constantly hailing your dog with a long name will be inconvenient. But if, nevertheless, the choice fell on a nickname of three or more syllables, then it is better to be able to reduce it when pronouncing, for example, Raphael is easily transformed into Rafa.
• If the dog is not acquired for the first time, it is better not to call it the name of the previous pet. Thus, the uniqueness and individuality of the animal will be lost, incorrect associations will be built, and subsequently distorted perception. A normal relationship with the Jack Russell Terrier and any other breed in this situation will not work.
• It is better that the nickname begins with a consonant. It is believed that this way the dog will more easily perceive and remember his name, will be more responsive and active in responding to it.
• The name must be unique. The owner should think about the nickname, and not call the Jack Russell Terrier the first common nickname that comes across. Otherwise, confusion may occur when walking when the namesake dog is accidentally met.
• In search of the original nickname, one can turn to movies, cartoons, computer games, and also study various space or geographic terms. Many owners name their dogs in honor of great scientists, composers and even presidents. It is much more interesting to meet the Jack Russell Terrier on the street, whose name is Roosevelt, and not Rex.
• The dog's nickname should reflect not only the characteristics of character or color, but also gender, so there is a clear separation of nicknames into male and female. This is especially important for walking, where you can meet the owners with other dogs. The socialization of the Jack Russell Terrier is an important moment of education.
• Do not name the dog after a friend or family member to avoid confusion. In general, human names are not the most appropriate option for an animal in terms of ethics.
• The name of the dog should not only suit the pet itself, but also not contradict the age characteristics and social status of the owner. For example, a respectable middle-aged man dressed in a suit cannot be associated with a dog nicknamed “Cupcake”. To avoid ridiculous situations, especially on walks, you should think over the name of Jack Russell Terrier, taking into account your own image.
• It is believed that dog nicknames in which the letter "p" is present contribute to the emergence of aggression from their owners.

Usually this breed has two names. One of them is given by the breeder himself when the dog is born. It is long and complex, designed for a particular exhibition or competition. Usually the main criterion in choosing a nickname is the litter number. For example, a dog has a first pregnancy, which means puppies will bear the names in the letter A, the second in B, etc.

When the puppy gets to the owner, but he gives him a simple nickname that will be easily remembered by the dog and will not cause inconvenience when pronouncing from the owner. Sometimes breeders may be asked to give a certain nickname to a puppy, but more often new owners have to turn on a fantasy and choose on their own.
