can territoriality and aggression be learnt, or is it innate? well, i guess, i know it can be learnt, what i'm wondering is, will a puppy (neb) model what he sees an older dog (teagan) doing (or will he model luc?), or does he need to have a disposition to those behaviours?
....if that makes any sense at all....
i will say, i've been working hard w/teagan, and have stepped it up even more now that neb is home. neb thinks teagan is great, and teagan really likes neb - she lay down and let him climb over her muzzle with the most blissful look on her face, and lies down a lot so that he can interact with her easily.
she is actually calmer since he has been home, and is reacting far less, but i'm just curious how much her personality and behaviour could influence neb.
