How to train your pet dog
A pet dog can be considered a companion animal who offers emotional support and companionship for its owner. It may also provide protection from predators and other animals.
The owners of a pet dog should train it to fetch items, protect against intruders, obey commands and perform tricks.
The typical training period lasts from six months to two and a half 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 dog's owner will also teach it basic commands verbally and how to deal with its 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.
