How To
How to train a dog as a pet
A pet dog is an animal companion that provides emotional support and companionship to its owner. It may provide protection against predators and protect other animals.
Dog owners should train their pet to be able to retrieve items, guard against intruders and obey orders.
The training period typically lasts between six and 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.
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.
