+mfamilee Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Since he is going to grow into a big doggy... how about Goliath? It's handy to bring along one of those collapsible dog bowls for water. You could easily add it to your geocaching gear and your little one may enjoy helping with that. Cute puppy! Link to comment
+DJ.J.ROCK Posted January 19, 2009 Author Share Posted January 19, 2009 (edited) Thanks k-9 patrol!! I respect what you do! hahaha geo error!!!yuk! --ha-ha,,,,-p.p. my friends shoe!!! Edited January 19, 2009 by DJ.J.ROCK Link to comment
+GATOULIS Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 It would be great to name him Lucky! you need luck to find some caches, don't you? It would be nice when you take him with you, to have 2 bowls, one for water and one for food! Hm... I think for water is a "must have" with you! My godfather who had dogs made a bowl from a half plactic ball! He can bring it with him easily and it is not heavy or something!!! Of course, it is good to have an extra bottle of water for him! He will be the new member of your geocaching team!!! Link to comment
+opalsns Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Yup and once you catch the Bad Guy, you can go caching !!!LOL!! Opalsns Link to comment
+GATOULIS Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 ...or you can call him "muggle!!!" Tip... I heard that there is a spesial colar with remote control! when your dog goes too far away from you, you press a button and makes him stop, or makes him come to you! It sounds good, but I am afraid that it is not the best for the dog! Is there a possibility that electricity is forcing the dog to stop? If yes... it is not good!!! In case you want something like that, check first!!! Link to comment
+Jan and the Percey Boys Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Name - Nimrod (It means - the mighty hunter) Tip - Get him interested in looking at where you either point or move a twig with your foot - you look so less obvious waiting for a dog to sniff around a tree than when you are trying to see the darned box in the ivy!!! (Of course if he is a smart dog train him to look for tupperware and you just do the walking!!!!) Bob Link to comment
+opalsns Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 There is a HUGE difference between a working Dog Police Officer and a Family dog. I do not believe in any sort of shock or choke collor, (i'd put those on people first!!!) Your right Gatoulas, it's not the best for the dog!!! Opalsns Link to comment
+Coyote's Girl Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 (edited) Is there a winner yet? I've always been partial to Dingo as a dog name. Dunno why. And here's my tip, as a mother and a pet parent: Leashes. For both of them. Edited January 19, 2009 by Butterfly Fox Link to comment
+CanadaKate Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 I'd name him "askum" ... the reactions from people that ask his name would be priceless... how many people would bend down and actually ask the dog it's name??? LoL Hey, my brother used to have a dog called "Askim" and he (my brother, not the dog), did have a lot of fun answering the "what's your dog's name" question. So ... not just a funny suggestion, it's been done. Link to comment

+Team CeDo Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 1. Finder 2. Like us, proper nutrition is important for keeping up a dogs energy level when being active. To avoid sickness, do not feed your dog right before you exercise or hike. Feed them afterward when they are rested Link to comment
+Team CeDo Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 1. Cache stalker (stalker for short) 2. Take along a first aid kit. Most injuries to dogs occur on the pads of their feet. Hiking can cause cut and scraps from rocks, sticks, thorns, ice etc. To avoid burning their feet, do not walk your dog on hot surfaces Link to comment
+Tha Saint Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Thats an awesome looking pup. He's gonna be a big boy. I have an 11 month old Shephard-Boxer mix (he's in my avatar), he's about 70 pounds right now, and he is great. By the looks of it, your pup looks like he might go a bit bigger. Shep mix's are usually great dogs & ofc very smart. Name - Hunter (its an all around name, but also goes with hunting caches) Tip - Train him early on to sniff out tuppaware/plastic containers. Put treats inside the container, and show him that you open the container and the treats are inside. He will associate the tuppaware smell with treats. A nice reward. You pup should train easily. Then while on caches, your dog can sniff the caches out, you can recover the cache, then let your kid open up the containers and enjoy the swag. Good luck, pups are alot of fun & work. *btw - how many weeks is the pup? Another possible name - Sonar Link to comment

+Team CeDo Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Cammo Tips For Teaching Your Dog Not To Bite Be consistent in your training, ensure that all family members are also actively training your pup not to nip. When a pup playfully nips at you during play, stop play and say firmly “No Bite” and push his mouth away When a pup uses its teeth to pull at your clothes (especially pant legs), stop and say firmly “No Bite” and put his mouth away If puppy persists, take puppy by the collar, close his mouth with your other hand and say firmly “No Bite” Link to comment
+darnjoeSNARG Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Name: D'Artagnan "D'Ar" or "D'Art" for short. It's a serious name, for a serious dog. Tip: Even the best trained pups can be unpredictable...always use a leash! Link to comment
+tsunrisebey Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Congrat's on your new family member. I'm not entering to win but here is my suggestion; Being that you are from Colorado, the Pueblo were a very important American Indian group in your area. One of the Pueblo tribes being Zuni. A Zuni word for wolf; Shiwi Tip: caching kid and dog, put a leash on the kid Ok, kidding, teach your child the importance of how to treat the dog and the importance of training and commands.

+GATOULIS Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 How about name him Ralf? He likes that name! All the time is probably saying it! ralf...ralf!! tip... do not take him in caches which are in cemeteries! there are lot's of bones there! ....hmm.. bad, black humor....right? Link to comment
+ZSandmann Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Well you could name him Garmin and he will always run in circles around the cache; or name him Magellan and he will always run past the cache and boomarang back to you. As far as advice, having a kid or a dog, and in your case both alleviates the need to be stealthy. People expect you to be running all over the place to chase the child or let the dog sniff or Go.

+Team CeDo Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Snoopy Crate Location When crate training it's a good idea to remember that, although every dog needs his own space, canines are pack animals. Because of this they have an instinctual desire to be near the other members of their family. It's a good idea to place the dog crate in a bedroom where your puppy can be near a family member when sleeping at night. It will make crate training less stressful to your puppy if he knows he is not alone at night. You'll also be able to know if your puppy needs to go out at night. Link to comment

+catsnfish Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 (edited) Another name could be Swag, although I like Hunter much better. Also, 2 weeks is along time to go without having a name for the family pet... Just something to think about. HE WILL HAVE A REGLUAR NAME IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS I IMAGINE!!- I FIGURE 2 WEEKS WILL GIVE HIM TIME TO SETTLE IN AND GET USED TO HIS NEW HOME,, HE IS STILL SAD HE'S NOT WITH HIS BROTHERS AND SISTERS. Does the little fella have his regular name yet? Edited January 21, 2009 by catsnfish Link to comment
+fairyhoney Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I don't want to read all the behind stuff SO, I'll suggest GEO PUP - call him GEO or Lincoln. - you can call him Link. Link to comment
+Team CeDo Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Bison Socialization and puppy training are of utmost importance as puppyhood is the most important and critical time in your puppy's development. What you do and do not do right now will affect your puppy's behavior forever. A properly socialized puppy is well adjusted and makes a good companion Link to comment
+GATOULIS Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I do not kno why, but I am stuck in wolf theme names!! Pobably because you dog is a german shepherd, or as we call it here in Greece, Lykoskylo (wolf dog)! How about name him "Lupo" ??? In italian it means wolf! Tip.... since it is a smart dog it can be trained easily! Try with many repeats to train him to listen and do some things like sit, stay etc, and not to eat any food from foreigners! Of course i is good to teach him not to eat food that may find on the street, in the garden, in garbadge.... to suscced that, give him as a reward, something that pleases him, like food, hugs etc, or toys.... Play with him so you and your child come closer to the dog, and he will be happy!! I do not know much about dogs! I really hope I am correct or I be close to what you should do! Link to comment

+dardevle Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 (edited) How about the name FILTER. Hmmm? Or how about, POPPEE, FRISBEE, RUNT ROCKER, RATSO,FINKEE, SHRIMPO, DEMON GLOW, VIRTIGLOW or QUASIMODO. I like them because they are names of Ice Fishing Jigs!!! If I every get a dog, thats where I will start for a name. TIP: tie dog and kid to your back!!! Edited January 22, 2009 by dardevle Link to comment
+MlKE Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Micro while he's small then Ammo when he gets bigger. Who can find that cache? Ammo Can! Always keep him on a leash while around roads or where the rules apply. I gotta get me one of them caching partners. Link to comment
+dardevle Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 (edited) Last time then I'll let the cointest play out! NUCLEUS, MARMOOSKA, GEM-N-EYE, BUCK-SHOT, GUPPEE, WILLY, NUGGIE, WEDGEE, SLAMMER, CHUBBY DARTER, HAWGER, or MIMMIC to name a few. Yes they are all jigs or lures!!! I cannot help myself. TIP: When dog is bigger tie him to your kids leg! I do not have a dog so I am not sure how I would handle the situation. Love dogs, I just feel they need more space than I have. I guess growing up on 40+acres will do that. If you ask me a dog needs its space. Not to be stuffed in a house or left inside a kennel ALL day. Any way, Geocaching with him should be fun and gives him some of the exercise he needs. Plus I really cannot stand all the fur everywhere, is there such a thing as a hairless dog that likes to be outside in the Minnesota Winters??? Edited January 22, 2009 by dardevle Link to comment
+dukeofurl01 Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 What about simply naming him Muggle? Link to comment
+NeverSummer Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 (edited) Bonzer. Name him Bonzer! I saw that face and it had to be. (It's actually the name I was reserving for a boy dog...if the next one was a boy...otherwise it would be Roxy...) It's not super geocaching-related, but it does mean "wonderful" or "remarkable", and that can apply to quite a few amazing views you can find while out hunting a cache...

+fairyhoney Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 (edited) I know, you can call him Medicine and he can ease your pain. Teach your dog what a ammo can smells like you know like those specialty dogs. Edited January 23, 2009 by fairyhoney Link to comment
+danieloliveira Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Why not call him "Micro"? Short, easy off the tongue and easily identifiable with your (favourite) pastime? Link to comment
+DJ.J.ROCK Posted January 22, 2009 Author Share Posted January 22, 2009 My wife came home with a puppy last night to my susprize, no, she dident tell me they were going to buy a puppy. At first I was a bit mad they left me out and that we did not discuss having a dog. But after meeting the puppy and how much Zariah loves him , I couldent say no He's really took a liking to me,, and I can see Im gonna have a new freind and family member around and to cache with, so heres the skoop I need a geo-nick name for our new geo-puppy- one he can grow with so, a cutiesy name he'll out grow wont work. I also need tips on caching with 1 adult 1 kid and 1 dog because it sounds like a handfull to me and to be stelthy is going to be alot harder. To win you must give a geo-nick name and at least 1 tip I could use while tring to cache with a lil one and a puppy. you may post as many times as you like,just not back to back, meaning twice in a row! The cointest will run for 2 weeks and will end 2 sundays from today. we will pick a winner based on best name and tip in 1 posting there will be 1 winner, and 1 coin, if it is to close to call we will pt the best ones in a hat and draw 1 out. the coin is undecided at this time and will be a trackable coin sent to you in the mail. other info-- he is a german shepard- wolf hybreed. PLEASE READ THE RULES BEFORE ENTERING, AS I CANNOT INCLUDE ANY POSTS NOT FOLLOWING THE GUIDELINES OF THE COINTEST, THANK YOU ALL FOR ENTERING. Link to comment

+GATOULIS Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Hmm... How about name him.... REX! I think that was the name of the German shepherd in the movie.... Tip: Actually it is not a tip to use while you are caching, but... if you are going to take him too.... why don't you registered him as a geodog? May here did that! Find him a good codename... or even use his name, and he will afficially be a geocacher partner! you can make an ink stamp of a dog footprint and stamp the log books with it too, like he found it too! You can even put a TB on him! A dog is not only a pet, not only a guard, and not a toy! A dog is a part of your family now, but you have to show him who is the boss.. ok? So, I believe he shouldn't be just a pet of a geocacher, especially if he is geocaching with you! I believe he must be an equal member of your team! He may even help you in geocaching!!!
