How To
How to train your pet dog
A pet dog is an animal companion that provides emotional support and companionship to its owner. It may provide protection against predators and protect other animals.
It is important that pet dogs are trained to obey their owners and do tasks like fetching things, guarding against intrusions, following commands and performing tricks.
The average training period lasts six 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 owner also trains the dog to obey simple verbal commands and learns how to handle the dog's natural instincts.
The owner should also teach the dog to behave appropriately in unfamiliar situations and not bite other animals.
