How To
How to train your dog

The owners of a pet dog should train it to fetch items, protect against intruders, obey commands and perform 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 also trains the dog to obey simple verbal commands and learns how to handle the dog's 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.
