You should never yell your dogs name in anger and here is why. Imagine you see your dog Jake digging up your freshly planted flower garden. You yell JAKE!! COME HERE NOW!! Jake does not respond so you yell louder and he still doesn't respond. You go over and grab his collar and scold him. From that day on Jake is going to associate you calling his name and the word "come" with being punished. This is going to make it very difficult to call Jake to you when you need him to come.

Dogs do not understand english or any other human language, however it's amazing how fast they learn to associate certain words with actions and if the action he associates a word with is not pleasent, he will do his best to avoid you when he hears you speak that word.
