Whether you’re trying to come up with a clever name for a female dog or a male dog, it’s guaranteed – this dog name will work!
It’s incredibly unique… and cool.
But the best part: it’s such a conversation starter!
You’ll amaze your friends — and your vet — if you name your dog this…
The Best Dog Name
I can’t take credit for this myself, but I’m thrilled to help spread the word about the world’s best dog name.
Because once you hear it… and you really think about it… then you’ll “get” it!
And I bet you will immediately want to name your dog this too.
Okay, here’s how the all-time best dog name is pronounced: “Dee-yo-gee”
That’s how it’s pronounced.
Now, do you want to know how to spell it?
D O G
Get it?!?
Say the pronunciation again out loud.
Now, don’t you agree that dee-yo-gee is the all-time best dog name ever?
When I heard Kelly Ripa tell the story of her childhood friend naming her dog this, I couldn’t stop laughing. Ditto for my husband.
Even though we have our own unique method for naming our dogs, we actually wanted to use this all-time best dog name so badly that we contemplated getting another dog right away.
Fortunately, common sense quickly kicked in and reminded us that another dog is definitely not in order at this time in our lives.
Anyway, here’s video from the show where we saw Kelly Rippa talking about her friend’s dog named D-O-G. It’s at 4:53 minutes in.

I like to help Dog Parents find unique ways to do things that will save time & money — so I write about “outside the box” Dog Tips and Dog Hacks that most wouldn’t think of.
I’m a lifelong dog owner — currently have 2 mixed breed Golden Aussies that we found abandoned on the side of the road as puppies. I’ve always trained my own dogs and help friends train theirs, as well. Professionally, I worked at a vet and have several friends who are veterinarians — whom I consult with regularly. (And just because I love animals so much, I also worked at a Zoo for awhile!) I’ve been sharing my best ideas with others by blogging full-time since 1998 (the same year that Google started… and before the days of Facebook and YouTube).
My daily motivation is to help first-time dog owners be better prepared from the first day your new puppy enters your home. I like to help dog owners understand what’s ‘normal’ and what you can expect in terms of living with and training your dog — how to get through the ups & downs of potty training, chewing, teaching commands, getting your dog to listen, and everything else that takes place during that hectic first year!
When I’m not training, walking, grooming, or making homemade treats for my dogs, you will find me at the corner of Good News & Fun Times as publisher of The Fun Times Guide (32 fun & helpful websites). To date, I’ve written over 600 articles for dog owners on this site! Many of them have upwards of 200K shares.
