How to train a pet canine
A pet dog, or companion animal, is one that offers companionship and emotional support to its owners. It may provide protection against predators and protect 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 average training period lasts six 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 also trains the dog to obey simple verbal commands and learns how to handle the dog's natural instincts.
These basic behaviors should be taught to the dog by the owner. They should also teach the dog how to react to strangers or unfamiliar situations.
