Dog Names Meaning Obedient

Introduction

Everyone dreams of having an obedient, smart canine companion. Many dogs just naturally thrive at obedience but others struggle. Puppies are also rambunctious and not focused enough to learn immediately until they become more settled. Training your new dog will not only give them a sense of purpose, but will also allow you valuable bonding time. If you are striving to have a well-mannered doggy companion then why not bestow a moniker on the pooch that means obedient or is in honor of an obedience champion?

Heart

The first Westminster Kennel Club dog show was held in 1877 at New York City’s Madison Square Garden. Since its debut, the dog show continues to be hosted annually. However, it was not until 2016 that an obedience competition became a part of the elite dog show.

The Westminster Kennel Club's Masters Obedience Championship at the Westminister Dog Show is far from a walk in the park. It is extremely difficult and only the best obedience champion dogs are allowed to compete in the competition. Typically, more than 30 of the nation's top canines compete in the trials. In order for a dog to even be considered a candidate for the competition, they must have already proved themselves in the obedience ring many times and have an obedience championship.

For the last three years, a shiny black Labrador Retriever named Heart has won the competition. Heart's official name is OTCH Rhumbline’s Once In A Blue Moon, DX3, OM5, BN GN RE GNRE. She is owned and handled by Linda Brennan of New Jersey. The pooch lives to make her owner happy and her joy in obedience clearly shows every time she steps into the ring.

The Masters Obedience Championship is difficult and has many trials that the dogs must successfully pass to move on to the finals. On top of doing advanced obedience work such as sit, recall, down, jumps, hand signals, stay, and scent work, the dog must also do an elaborate finale. Heart’s final act was a magic show. During the fun time, she pulled scarves from her owner’s sleeves and did other cute tricks that had the audience cheering. When Heart received the Masters of Obedience Championship for the third time, the crowd went crazy.

Heart has developed quite a fan following. Many fans hope she will compete again and win a fourth time. At the age of five, Heart’s owner/handler doesn’t know if she will return to the next Westminster dog show to compete, so the future remains uncertain. There is no doubt that the spunky and highly intelligent Labrador Retriever has what it takes to win again.

With enough love and patience, any dog can become a true obedience champion. You don’t have to compete in a formal event to enjoy having a well-mannered dog who listens to you and obeys commands. Obedience is also about more than simply following orders. It is a fun bonding experience for you and your pooch. Most canines genuinely enjoy the sport and the time they get to spend with their beloved owner.

Dog Names Meaning Obedient Considerations

For thousands of years, canines have been the companions of mankind. In the early days of migrant man, wild dogs would follow the camps of the hunter/gatherer humans searching for scraps of food. Eventually, a symbiotic relationship formed between humans and wild dogs. Canines served a valuable purpose in guarding the camps, fighting alongside the warriors, herding livestock, and as companions. However, in order to have a successful relationship between dogs and humans certain ground rules needed to be established. This meant that the dog had to learn basic commands and obedience.

Researchers have shown that dogs are as intelligent as a human two-year-old child. Many learn up to 200 words and commands. They can also respond to simple hand signals. There is no doubt this level of high functioning intelligence is what makes dogs thrive in obedience.

All dogs should start attending basic obedience classes during their puppyhood or as young adolescents. The classes not only help the owner train the dog to follow certain commands but they also afford an opportunity for the pooch to learn valuable socialization skills that are useful in day-to-day life and during trips to the dog park. Canines who take obedience classes should learn the basics such as sit, stay, recall, and the manners needed to walk on a leash. Consider your new pet's breed as you peruse our name list. Many breeds are known for their clever minds; the German Shepherd and Border Collie are just two of the many breeds with very intuitive personalities.

Many owners even become addicted to obedience with their four-legged buddy and go on to compete in American Kennel Club sanctioned obedience matches for trophies and ribbons. There are also other fun obedience-focused competitions such as agility and flyball that many owners and their pooches enjoy.

There is no doubt that obedience work is a bonding experience for everyone involved. Most dogs love making their owners happy and most owners enjoy spending time with their dogs. It becomes a win/win situation for everyone involved. Consider naming your dog based on the joys and benefits of obedience.
