If your Ridgeback doesn't like their name you're going to struggle. Of they like they're name it takes a couple of times to teach it. Even with renaming them. Renamed mine, he hated the name he came with and preferred to answer to "dog". I gave him a say in what he was called and it took a couple of times using his name for him to get it. They're an intelligent and head strong dog - compromise goes a long way. Also talking to your dog consistently and telling them what they are doing helps them to learn language and meaning. Assuming that a dog won't learn enough language to get by is really underestimating their intellect.
Hey David, thanks for watching! If you head over to our main channel, Fenrir Canine Training th-cam.com/channels/6z0E8nSfCvelwA3bon_phg.html, we have a number of different demonstration videos. Here's one we did looking at the same topic of teaching your pup their name: th-cam.com/video/p23ICY59sGw/w-d-xo.html
The whole point is to teach a dog it’s name. This is a RIDGEBACK channel, so of course he put the name of the breed. This video is valuable if you actually pay attention. But to each their own
Great video keen to try this with our pup coming next week!
I so appreciate all the work you do. I had a Jack Russell and she was beyond a handful. I'm ready for a Ridgeback.

So do you also use a watch command?
I think he is really good, but he makes me extremely nervous....
So you talk well, how about live demonstrations

So a generic session with a guy saying Ridgeback at the beginning of the video.
