Check the shortlist with the handler
A striking name on a list may not suit the names or cues already used by a team. Bring a short selection to the people responsible for training rather than changing an established name on your own. For a pet with a police-inspired name, simply choose a sound you enjoy.
For an operational dog, the team’s decision takes priority over a creative list.
