How long does it usually take for a dog to learn their name?

Puppies can learn their names quickly (most can pick it up within 1-3 days!) but generally, you’ll want to practice using their name throughout their training sessions in order to ensure they respond consistently to their given name when said out loud. Save the nicknames for later so you don’t confuse your pup!

How do you teach a dog its name?

Wait until your dog is not looking at you and then say the name in a very bright and happy tone. As soon as your dog turns to look at you, mark this with a clicker or a word to let the dog know this is the right reaction, a word like yes or good, and then immediately give your dog a treat.
