Dogs, Then and Now
We humans have treasured the companionship of dogs for some then thousand years.
In earlier times the dog served as a helper in the hunt, a protector of sheep and cattle herds, and a guardian of house and home. Over the centuries, the dog’s place changed more and more. Today, most dog owners view their pet mainly as companion is leisure activities and a beloved member of their household.
Whether an expensive purebred or a mixed breed, the dog has become the most popular of the domestic animals, probably because no other domestic animal is capable of forming such a close relationship with a human,
Nevertheless, every dog, big or small, needs care and training in keeping with the requirements of its breed. Only then can a genuinely harmonious relationship develop between a dog and its owner.
Today especially, many people and fairly large numbers of dogs live in densely populated areas. If your pet is to avoid being a nuisance to anymore to anymore and endangering either itself or others, it has to learn certain rules, to make it better able to get along in our civilized world.
Spending a great deal of time in activities with your dog also contributes to the strength of the bond between you and your pet and ensures that your companion stays mentally fit. It is true, however, that training a dog properly is time consuming; it is not comparable to keeping a guinea pig, for instance. Ever would-be dog owner needs to be aware of that point.
