How To
How to train your dog
A pet dog is an animal companion that provides emotional support and companionship to its owner. It can protect against predators and other animals.
It is important that pet dogs are trained to obey their owners and do tasks like fetching things, guarding against intrusions, following commands and performing tricks.
The training period usually lasts between six months and two 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 dog's owner will also teach it basic commands verbally and how to deal with its 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.
