How To
How to train your dog
A pet dog, or companion animal, is one that offers companionship and emotional support to its owners. It may protect its owner from predators and animals.
Pet owners must train their dog to do certain tasks, such as fetching objects, protecting against intruders, obeying orders, performing tricks, and guarding against theft.
The training period typically lasts between six and two years. The owner teaches basic obedience skills to the dog, including sitting, lying down, staying, coming when called, walking on command, and rolling over. The owner also trains the dog to obey simple verbal commands and learns how to handle the dog's natural instincts.
Apart from teaching the basic behaviors to the dog, the owner should teach it to not bite other animals or people and to be respectful of strangers.
