How To
How to train a pet canine
A pet dog is an animal companion who provides companionship and emotional support for its owner. It can protect against predators and other animals.
Pet owners must train their dog to do certain tasks, such as fetching objects, protecting against intruders, obeying orders, performing tricks, and guarding against theft.
The training period usually lasts between six months and 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.
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.
