How to train a pet canine

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 will teach the dog basic obedience skills like how to sit, lie, stay, come when called and walk on command. The dog's owner will also teach it basic commands verbally and how to deal with its natural instincts.
