"Dog training is the process of teaching a dog to exhibit certain desired dog behavior in specific circumstances." Some examples are:

* Teaching a dog basic obedience commands (part of obedience training).

* Teaching a dog to perform tricks casually or for circus acts.

* Teaching a guide dog to lead the blind.

* Teaching a rescue dog to find victims of a disaster.

The specific dog behavior taught in each case are different, but the underlying principles are similar.
