How To
How to train a pet canine
A pet dog is an animal companion who provides companionship and emotional support for its owner. It can protect against predators and other animals.
Dog owners should train their pet to be able to retrieve items, guard against intruders and obey orders.
The training period typically lasts between six and two years. The owner teaches basic obedience skills to the dog, including sitting, lying down, staying, coming when called, walking on command, and rolling 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.
