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 owner teaches the dog basic commands and how to manage his 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.
