How to train a pet canine
A pet dog, or companion animal, is one that offers companionship and emotional support to its owners. It may also provide protection from predators and 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 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.
The owner should also teach the dog to behave appropriately in unfamiliar situations and not bite other animals.
