How to train a pet canine
A pet dog can be considered a companion animal who offers emotional support and companionship for its owner. It can also protect you from predators or 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 training period usually lasts between six months and 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 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.
