Camp Bow Wow Releases Top 10 Dog Names for 2022

Sorry, Champ, Fido and Bear, your classic names are nowhere to be found on Camp Bow Wow’s list of 2022’s Top 10 Dog Names, just released in honor of National Puppy Day on March 23. The top names are based on Camp Bow Wow’s database of nearly 400,000 campers across the U.S. and Canada.

“Your dog’s name will be used for training purposes, so it’s important to choose carefully,” said Animal Health and Behavioral Expert Erin Askeland. “Short, two-syllable names are helpful for getting your dog’s attention, while names that sound like commonly used words or cues could confuse your pup. For example, ‘Shay’ is cute, but it may sound like ‘stay’ to a dog.”
