How to Name a Wolf in Minecraft: A Simple Guide

Last updated
Ever wondered how you can give your loyal wolf companion in Minecraft a name that suits its personality? You’re not alone! Naming your pet in Minecraft adds that extra bit of fun and personalization to your game.
So, how exactly do you name a wolf in Minecraft? Let’s dive into the simple steps to give your furry friend a name it deserves.
Quick Steps to Name Your Wolf in Minecraft
Naming a wolf in Minecraft is as easy as pie once you know the steps. First, you need to get an item called a Name Tag. You can’t make a Name Tag, but you can find them in treasure chests scattered around the game world, like in dungeons or mineshafts.
After snagging a Name Tag, you’ll need an Anvil. Place the Name Tag in the Anvil, and then you can type any name you want for your wolf. Once you’ve picked the perfect name, take the Name Tag, find your wolf, and right-click on it (or press the ‘use’ command on your game controller). Voila! Your wolf now has a name.
