How to Choose a Name for Your Dog Training Business

Here are some key factors to consider when choosing your dog training business name.

1. Check Name Availability

When you come up with name options, you’ll want to ensure they’re available and stand out from other dog trainers’ business names.

You can easily check if a name is available by searching the Secretary of State’s website for your state. The search will also show similar names in the niche so you can verify your name is unique in your state.

Also, go to the United States Patent and Trademark Office’s website to see if the name is trademarked.

2. Check Your State’s Business Name Regulations

Each state has rules regarding business names, often restricting words such as “bank” or “university.” Some states have stricter rules than others; for example, Michigan has a long list of prohibited words. You should be able to find your state’s rules on the Secretary of State’s website.

Upon creating an LLC, it’s mandatory to have either “LLC,” “limited liability company,” or “limited liability” as part of its official name. This ensures clarity and compliance with naming conventions for such entities.

3. Choose a Name with Relevance

Your name should be relevant to your dog training services and reflect your business mission. If you’re stuck during the brainstorming process, it might help if you write down a description of your brand identity. You’ll come up with words that have the potential to be used in your business name.

4. Keep It Simple

Your name should be easy to say so that it’s more memorable. It should also be easy to spell so people can search for your dog training business online. 

5. Short and Unique

Short, unique, and catchy names stand out. Think Google, which is so catchy and unique that it’s become a verb!

6. Get Feedback

Family and friends can give you an outside perspective on your dog training business name. They can offer suggestions and give you feedback on the names you have in mind.

7. Allow for Expansion

If you plan to expand into new locations or services in the future, you shouldn’t choose a business name that’s too narrow. For example, “Agility Doggo Training Pros” is much more limiting than “Doggo Training Pros.”

Your business name should also have timeless appeal. Don’t try to capture a trend — trends continuously change, and you don’t want a name that could become outdated. 

8. .com is the Best

Domain names ending in .com reflect more credibility than alternatives. You should check if the .com domain is available for your business name. To save some time, you can use our Domain Name Search Tool. It’ll help you find an available website name and get the perfect domain name for your dog training venture.

9. Use Keywords to Boost SEO

You’ll want your name to be SEO-friendly to boost your organic search engine rankings. Think about what potential clients might search for (for example, “Training,” “Dog/Canine Training,” “Obedience,”  or “Behavior Modification”) and include them in your business name and website.

10. How Does it Sound?

Say the name out loud to see how it rolls off the tongue. Is it pleasant? Does it evoke positivity? You’d be surprised how different a name sounds when you say it compared to when you think it. 

11. Appeal to Emotions

Names that evoke positive emotions can create a connection with your target customers. You want them to feel good about your dog training business.

Common Questions

Can I use my own name for my dog training business?

Using your name can be a good choice if you want to build a personal brand. However, it’s essential to consider whether your name is easy to remember and spell and if it conveys your business’s purpose.

Is it a good idea to include my location in the business name?

Including your location can be a great idea, especially if you’re targeting a local clientele. It can help potential clients identify you as a nearby option for their dog training needs.

What about using acronyms or abbreviations for my dog training business?

Acronyms or abbreviations can work if they are easy to remember and pronounce. However, ensure they still convey the essence of your dog training business.

Should I consider the target audience when naming my dog training business?

Absolutely. Consider the demographics and preferences of your ideal clients when choosing a name that resonates with them.

Can I change my business name in the future if I’m not satisfied with it?

Yes, you can change your business name, but it can involve legal and branding costs. It’s best to invest time in choosing a name that resonates with your vision from the start.
