Is there a way to name a dog without using voice?

Today in Nintendogs + Cats: Toy Poodle & New Friends I got a new puppy and it keeps telling me to use my voice to name her but I can't use my voice or make any noise.

Is there anyway I can skip the record voice part and name the dog without using voice?

Solution 1:

The short answer is no.

You cannot name your dog without using your voice/a microphone. Voice is also an important part in the game as it is constantly used to call your pet and perform other actions within the game.

Solution 2:

While I've never played the game, I don't think it has any excessive built in voice recognition and instead uses that one recorded sample to later on detect you calling the pet.

As such I'd assume you can pretty much use any audible signal you can think of as a replacement. I might be wrong, but have you tried anything else, like a bell, clicker, etc.?
