How To
How to train a dog as a pet
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.
The owners of a pet dog should train it to fetch items, protect against intruders, obey commands and perform 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 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.
