How To
How to train a dog as a pet
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 training period typically lasts between six and two years. The dog's basic obedience skills are taught by the owner, such as how to sit and lie down, get up when called, come when called, walk on commands, and roll over. The dog's owner will also teach it basic commands verbally and how to deal with its natural instincts.
This should include teaching the dog basic behavior and how to handle strangers.
