How To
How to train a pet dog
A pet dog is an animal companion who provides companionship and emotional support for its owner. It can also protect you from predators or other animals.
Pet owners must train their dog to do certain tasks, such as fetching objects, protecting against intruders, obeying orders, performing tricks, and guarding against theft.
The average time for training is between six months to 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.
In addition to teaching the dog these basic behaviors, the owner should teach the dog not to bite people or other animals and to respond appropriately to strangers and other unfamiliar situations.
