How To
How to train a dog as a pet
A pet dog can be considered a companion animal who offers emotional support and companionship for its owner. 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 dog's natural instincts are taught to the owner and the dog learns to obey basic verbal commands.
The owner should also teach the dog to behave appropriately in unfamiliar situations and not bite other animals.
