Well, no. It really isn't.

Behaviour is a result of a combination of factors and while the training the dog has had (or not) is undoubtedly a huge factor in their behaviour it's not the 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺 factor. The environment they are in and their genetics are also hugely influential. Pretending to ourselves that if we just 'raise them right' we can override these can lead us to try to fit a square peg in a round hole.

That doesn't mean that we can't teach dogs new behaviours regardless of their breed or background. But it does mean that we will make life a lot harder for them, and us, if we ask them to be something they inherently aren't.

Handsome Archie is a Šarplaninac cross, a livestock guardian breed. They have been bred to be protective, to work independently and to be suspicious of the unfamiliar. These traits have been bred into dogs like Archie for generations so expecting them just to disappear because he lives as a pet is unrealistic no matter how well he is raised.

Understanding a dog's genetic inheritance can be the key to having realistic expectations, to ensuring their environment is as good a fit for them as possible and to finding ways to teach them effectively by working with them rather than against them.

It's not just nature. It's not just nurture. It's both.
