How To
How to train a pet dog
A pet dog provides companionship and emotional support to its owner. It can protect against predators and other animals.
The owners of a pet dog should train it to fetch items, protect against intruders, obey commands and perform tricks.
The average training period lasts six to 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 also trains the dog to obey simple verbal commands and learns how to handle the dog's natural instincts.
In addition to teaching the dog these basic behaviors, the owner should teach the dog not to bite people or other animals and to respond appropriately to strangers and other unfamiliar situations.
