[Nfb-krafters-korner] I am trying it out. Let meknow whatyouthink.

[Annette Carr]

Dog number 7, Chloe, was always getting into some sort of trouble whether on
her own or with her partner in crime, one of our cats.  So as soon as I
would hear something that sounded like she was into something she should
not, all I had to do is say "Kennel".  So one night I was sitting at the
kitchen table talking to a friend, and with in the conversation about dog
guide schools, I said the word kennel.  Not realizing what I had said, I
thought it was very odd that Chloe had come trotting through the kitchen and
into her kennel.  Once I realized what had happened, I gave a few tests, and
when ever the word "kennel" was in the conversation, she would head to her
kennel.

And yes, we have had to resort to spelling with all 8 of my guides, and all
of my brother's and sister-in-laws guides.

well, all my dogs have answered to both their name and "puppadog" -- and
"dog", and "canine", and "stinkerDoodle"...LOL We even resort to spelling
words to avoid attracting their attention, but I do believe dogs understand
more about what you are saying than you'd like to imagine.
Happy krafting.

Go for changing her name to something that flows off of your tongue.  Misty
sounds like a great choice.

My second dog's name was Glitter.  She was a little spit-fire, and the
trainer nicknamed her Glit-Shit and the dog had no problem responding to
both names.  Matter of fact that trainer is now at Seeing Eye.

My fourth dog's name was Tuesday and to this day in retirement she answers
to Tuesday, Tues, Miss Tuesie and any other name that begins with a "T".

My seventh  dog's name was Chloe and her trainer called her Chloebert and
the dog had no problem answering to both names.

I have a friend who got her dog from the Seeing Eye and she changed her name
altogether. The dog's name was Jinney and she changed it to scout. her
husband's dog is named Venture. I have a kitty named musky and although she
responds the name  that I call her sometimes she responds to as well. So,
she answers to Musky or Stink head. lol
