How To
How to train your pet dog
A pet dog, or companion animal, is one that offers companionship and emotional support to its owners. It may also provide protection from 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 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 dog's natural instincts are taught to the owner and the dog learns to obey basic verbal commands.
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.
