Cranfield Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 You probably won't have any problem in changing a 2 year old dog's name. I did this with a 3 year old labrador (was Gyp and became Blackie), without any problems at all. Most of the handling instructions you give don't include the dog's name and the dog should be trained to come to a whistle. Take your existing dog out and call her by a different name using your usual tone of voice, you will see just what I mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
