Have a great name for your dog walking business is not going to make or break, but it will help a lot. The company name is the most important part of advertising. If you can think of a name but smart, clear, concise and illustrative, you'll be on your way to get great clients and have a business that suits your needs and objectives.
1) Make it clear what you are doing
Anyone hear the trade name must immediately understand what you are doing. Do not make people guess with a cryptic name or just use an old English teacher would get. It should be simple so that people can go to ask whether you are good and if they can afford their services.
2) Keep it short
Any name longer than four words is a long name. While more than four words give you a better opportunity to explain exactly what you are doing (like "NYC dog walking for older dogs"), the long name will cause discomfort and awkwardness of having to say and again . If you are really connected to a long name, seriously consider whether you would be willing to answer a phone 20-30 times a day, repeating that long name for five years or more to be in business.
3) Check that no one else uses
You will encounter problems in violation of copyright to use a name that someone has already done. To be sure that your new business name is not taken, check your local phone book, and then do some research on different line. If you find another company that uses the name, just make sure its very small, not in your state (or near your state) and is likely to be good. If you have any concerns at all, it is best to consult a lawyer.
4) Do not be too clever
It is good to attract attention with a name, but not too smart or too extreme. Want people to smile when they hear the name of your company, do not raise their eyebrows in suspicion.
5) Test it on friends
See what your friends think of this name. When you cut your 2-3 candidates list of names, ask friends to name the company that would be more likely to hire. Also, ask people who would be their target customers.
