How To
How to train your dog
A pet dog is an animal companion who provides companionship and emotional support for its owner. It may also provide protection from 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 time for training is between six months to 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 owner also trains the dog to obey simple verbal commands and learns how to handle the dog's natural instincts.
The owner should also teach the dog to behave appropriately in unfamiliar situations and not bite other animals.
