How to train a pet canine
A pet dog provides companionship and emotional support to its owner. It may protect its owner from predators and 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 typical training period lasts from six months to two and a half 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.
This should include teaching the dog basic behavior and how to handle strangers.
