How To
How to train a dog as a pet
A pet dog is an animal companion who provides companionship and emotional support for its owner. It may protect its owner from predators and 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. During this time, the owner teaches the dog basic obedience skills, including how to sit, lie down, stay, come when called, walk on command, and roll over. The owner teaches the dog basic commands and how to manage his 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.
