A dog is a useful animal for human beings. Training a dog to be a watchdog often produces unexpected effects.
Some dogs quickly learn the 1 between unwanted people and friends. This is 2 their masters welcome their friends and invite them to their houses. 3 , some dogs will always jump at the postman who comes to deliver letters. Why? One explanation for this behavior is that 4 the postman comes to the house often, he never enters the house. Because of this, the dog thinks the postman is someone 5 is not wanted, but keeps coming back anyway.
Masters of the dogs that attack the postman can 6 show the dog that the postman is a friend and that the dog doesn’t need 7 him as an unwanted person. A dog is quite ready to do 8 his master wishes. And a dog is always happy when he is praised for understanding correctly. Dogs are also useful as companions(伙伴) for blind people. When a dog has 9 properly trained, he will always lead his blind master in the right direction and keep him out of 10 . For example, seeing-eye dogs learn never to cross a busy road when cars are coming, even if their masters order them to do so.
