How To

How to train a pet dog

A pet dog is an animal companion that provides emotional support and companionship to its owner. It can also protect you from predators or other animals.

Pet owners must train their dog to do certain tasks, such as fetching objects, protecting against intruders, obeying orders, performing tricks, and guarding against theft.

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 owner also teaches the dog how to use basic commands and to respect the dog's natural instincts.

Apart from teaching the basic behaviors to the dog, the owner should teach it to not bite other animals or people and to be respectful of strangers.
