There is that. Maybe you can tactfully explain that Sherwood is his proper name but you need to shorten it for simplicity to Woodie. Worth a try. But if you start having trouble then you will at least know why.. There are work arounds like instead of using name to send use Go. High on or hunt on are great release commands. I have a Springer that is very obedient family dog only but say the high on command and he will bust a gut to go about his business. Which is another problem. If walking him at heel and even see someone and say Hi, that is his understood que and will dash off toe nails clicking.
