How To
How to train a pet canine
A pet dog provides companionship and emotional support to 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 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 owner teaches the dog basic commands and how to manage his natural instincts.
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.
