How To
How to train your pet dog
A pet dog can be considered a companion animal who offers emotional support and companionship for its owner. It can protect against 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 owner teaches the dog basic obedience skills such as how to sit, lay down, stay, come on command, roll over, and walk on command. The owner teaches the dog basic commands and how to manage his natural instincts.
The owner should also teach the dog to behave appropriately in unfamiliar situations and not bite other animals.
