What is the best pet?
The best pet is the one you love. There is no one right answer. Everyone has a different opinion on what pet is best.
Some people believe cats are better than dogs. Others argue that dogs are more loyal to their owners and more affectionate. Others argue that birds make the best pets.
However, no matter what pet you choose to have, you need to decide which pet is best for you.
If you're friendly and outgoing then a dog is right for you. Cats are best suited for shy people who are reserved.
Also, think about the size of your house and apartment. If your apartment is small, you'll need to have a smaller pet. A large house will require more space.
Last but not least, pets require a lot of attention. They must be fed often. They should be taken out for walks. And they need to be brushed and cleaned.
All these factors will enable you to select the best pet.

How To
How to train your dog
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.
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 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 natural instincts are taught to the owner and the dog learns to obey basic verbal commands.
In addition to teaching the dog these basic behaviors, the owner should teach the dog not to bite people or other animals and to respond appropriately to strangers and other unfamiliar situations.
