How to train a pet dog

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 average time for training is between six months to two years. The owner will teach the dog basic obedience skills like how to sit, lie, stay, come when called and walk on command. The owner also teaches the dog how to use basic commands and to respect the dog's natural instincts.
The owner should also teach the dog to behave appropriately in unfamiliar situations and not bite other animals.
