Can you change a dog's name?

This might be relevant information::)

Well, I didn't exactly "change it" - but one day when I yelled "***HOLE!" at a stupid driver (windows rolled up), Jack immediately jumped into the front seat and looked at me like "You called?!"

So far I've tried renaming Calvin's name to Tig. However, every time I call him. He looks at me like who's Tig, then starts looking around for Tig, thinking he's got a dog to play with. ... :RSo, has anyone had success in changing your dog's name?
Pops, I mean Anonymous

Yes, but then you'd have to get him a new social security card. :W Seriously, why at this late date? I think you need to go find a brindle pup and name him Tig. Calvin (or Cal?) is telling you he wants a friend.

Yes, I got a dog at about 2 years of age with the name Aspen which I successfully changed to Blue.

My dog came to us at age seven, and she was named "Chloe"...which in my mind didn't seem to suit her plucky self at all. She's a rat terrier with perfectly shaped brown "goggles" framing her eyes that remind me of those worn by a certain famous Aviatrix, so I renamed her "Amelia Airhead". :B

Shortened to "Millie" for everyday...took less than five treats to educate her to her new name!

I'd say you haven't got the right name yet.

When I discovered a puppy of mine really could climb up the wood walls of his pen, it didn't take long for me to think of the name of a very steep mountain. In three sayings of the word, Eiger, he knew he had become Eiger. I knew it was right and my tone told him so.

Yes with training, you can do almost anything with a dog.
