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.
A pet dog must be trained by its owners to perform certain tasks such as fetching items, guarding against intruders, obeying commands, and performing tricks.
The training period usually lasts between six months 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.
These basic behaviors should be taught to the dog by the owner. They should also teach the dog how to react to strangers or unfamiliar situations.
