How To
How to train your pet dog
A pet dog provides companionship and emotional support to its owner. It can also protect you from predators or other animals.
The owners of a pet dog should train it to fetch items, protect against intruders, obey commands and perform tricks.
The training period typically lasts between six and two years. The dog's basic obedience skills are taught by the owner, such as how to sit and lie down, get up when called, come when called, walk on commands, and roll over. The dog's natural instincts are taught to the owner and the dog learns to obey basic verbal commands.
Apart from teaching the basic behaviors to the dog, the owner should teach it to not bite other animals or people and to be respectful of strangers.
