Need A Name For A Dog Training Class

Posted by Anonymous on 3/24/2014 at 4:57 PM ET 125 Points
We have two classes that we need to come up with cleaver names:
1. Trick training.
2. Recall (Coming when called)

Traditional titles are boring and many people just don't get what a Recall class is.

We want to have our class names explain what they are, but with something catchy to get people's attention.

For instance, we offer a class that is called, Three's Company, that is a small group class with only three dogs and very popular.

Thank you in advance for your ideas.

    Things that are "catchy" do not get—nor do they attract—people's attention: relevance attracts attention. Specificity attracts attention.

    I'm liking some of these. Any more?

    for the recall training (waiting) - 'Paws for Inspection', or maybe 'Paws and Effect' or 'K-9 Commando'

    for trick training - maybe 'Ruff and Tumble' or 'Ruff and Ready' or a long-shot "Getting 'Arf' to a Flying Start"

    if you do a discipline class, you could call it "Flying Arf the Handle" lol

    Which are you liking? What about them do you like?

    If we know what the criteria are, it's a lot easier to come up with winners.

    I like the idea of Doggie Magic for a tricks class.
    Beck and Call is the one I like best for recall, but still hoping for something that makes a better impact.
    The general public doesn't know the term Recall, which is what trainers use, so I want to avoid that, and "come when called," is not something that encourages people to sign up for a single topic class.
    Our recall classes are fun, lively and positive in nature. This skill is also a life-saving skill.
    Thanks, I hope that helps.
