We start teaching our dogs to love their names when they are young puppies. We teach little puppies that their name means something wonderful will happen.
Now that your puppy is a teen, we keep adding value to her name and teach her that when she hears her name, she should pay attention until you release her.
If your dog does not already love her name, start at the beginning and condition a positive association to her name. Watch Julie Daniels do this with Frankie and Koolaid.
