Beach Life Dog Names

Introduction

What could be a better combination than life on the beach accompanied by your very best buddy - your dog? Whenever you go to the beach, if it is pet friendly there is a menagerie of dogs all having fun. Life is fun when it's on the beach. This may be the perfect opportunity you have been waiting for, to prompt you into getting a dog. You can have all sorts of ideas about the breed of dog, but just be aware that puppies are irresistible. So if you want a specific breed, only go and see those or you will end up with a Bichon Frise rather than a Doberman. Nothing wrong with that choice though, as long as you don't regret it. So now you have your beach life, you have a new dog, and then there is the question of what are you going to call this little bundle of joy? That question often sends owners into a panic, as they haven't thought that far ahead, or if they have a pre-chosen name, somehow it just doesn't seem to suit this dog. No worries, we have compiled a list of names for the dog who enjoys the beach lifestyle. So while your dog is snoozing, make the most of the time and browse our extensive list of beach life dog names.

Ricochet

Who would have thought that a dog would be famous for surfing! But here is Ricochet, a Golden Retriever, who is breaking all kinds of records with her surfing and therapy work. She surfs for fun, wins surf contests and she surfs with people. In 2009 Ricochet just decided to jump on the same surfboard with a boy who was a quadriplegic and there has been no stopping her since then. She has incredible empathy for how people are feeling, which made her the ideal candidate for the first surf/therapy dog in the world. She just loves people and surfing, so she lives her life with a real purpose. She has helped to reduce social anxiety and empower kids with special needs, and she has assisted people with disabilities, wounded warriors, and veterans with PTSD.

Ricochet is a dog who is worthy of attention, she is just having fun and helping people at the same time. You can go on and find more about this amazing dog on her own website that she has trained her owner to look after for her (she is too busy surfing the waves, not the net!). Her newest initiative is called Waves of Empowerment, which is a mentorship and comradeship program that focuses on the enrichment and health of veterans and civilians from all walks of life to help them to connect through the challenges they face. The photos of this amazing dog are just awesome. Ricochet looks so happy and contented and is making a huge difference in many peoples lives. Good on you, Ricochet- well done!

Beach Life Dog Name Considerations

When choosing a dog's name, consider the following, which will help you to make an informed decision. Firstl, pick a name that your dog can easily recognise. Usually one or two syllable names are easier for them to understand. Secondly, when you choose a name, especially a longer name, keep in mind the shortened version. It may not sound as great as you would like. Another point is to work with the dog's breed to choose a name. German Shepherds, Scottish Terriers, or French dogs like the Poodle for example, all sound great with names from their origins. Siberian Huskies sound awesome with Russian names. Take your time and get to know your dog first. They all have distinct personalities and you can be guided by those quirks, their appearance or how active they are. And finally, choose a name that will grow with your dog. Puppy (not a good name choice) will not always be a young puppy. And a Great Dane will not always remain Tiny! So take your time when choosing a name, you will be using it for many happy years. And if you are lucky enough to live near the beach, then what a perfect location for inspiration, as you will see by our list of beach lifestyle dog names.
