How To

How to train a pet dog

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.

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 average time for training is between six months to two 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 owner also teaches the dog how to use basic commands and to respect the dog's natural instincts.

The owner should also teach the dog to behave appropriately in unfamiliar situations and not bite other animals.
