How to train your pet dog
A pet dog is an animal companion who provides companionship and emotional support for its owner. It can also protect you from predators or other 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 training period lasts six to 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 owner also teaches the dog how to use basic commands and to respect the dog's 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.
