If you have a Pekingese of your own, you will naturally want it to remember the name you have given it. For puppies, however, learning their name also requires training. We can do some targeted exercises in daily life to help them remember their name more quickly.
Pekingese Name Training
You want the Pekingese to get used to hearing its name and to associate that name with good things and affection. Unless the dog is uncomfortable being touched on the back or handled, at the end of training you can place it gently between your legs, rock it lightly, call its name, and quietly rub its belly and stroke its body. Use the same kind of game you used during hand-feeding. Call the Pekingese's name, and if it responds, say ?good dog,? touch its collar, and give it a reward. Think of this exercise as a relaxing massage for the dog.
Correcting Wrong Behavior
Please note that when you are trying to correct the Pekingese's behavior, you should never call its name. For example, when telling it to get off the sofa, stop biting your hand, or drop something it should not touch, do not use its name. You definitely do not want to accidentally train the Pekingese to associate its name with punishment. That would interfere with the bond between you and slow down learning, and some dogs may even stop responding to their own name.
Remember that you should call the Pekingese's name only during praise and reward.
If you accidentally connect the dog's name with unpleasant experiences, you can use simple games to repair that association.
