How To
How to train your dog
A pet dog can be considered a companion animal who offers emotional support and companionship for its owner. It can protect against predators and other 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 typical training period lasts from six months to two and a half 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 dog's natural instincts are taught to the owner and the dog learns to obey basic verbal commands.
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.
