How To
How to train a pet 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.
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 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 dog's owner will also teach it basic commands verbally and how to deal with its 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.
