“You need to take a reading comprehension class.”

Was that personal insult really called for? It certainly doesn’t add anything to your argument.

“Instinct that is born into an animal has absolutely nothing to do with training. That instinct can be enhanced or even modified but can never be taken out of that animal!!!!!”

Well, you just contradicted the assertion of the first sentence in your second sentence, proving even you don’t actually believe the assertion. How do you really hope to convince anyone else with an agurment like that?

I live and work in an animal world. You seem to believe in your total human arrogance that somehow you have the ability to change 500 years of breeding and evolution. Good try. Which goddess do you believe you are??? We can try and have some affect on how animals act but none of us can remove what they are born with. Not even you. In training an animal all we are doing is asserting our dominant power over them. That fits right into their instinctual reactions. Back to the pecking order thing.
That pecking order thing and knowing how animals think and naturally react is how animal trainers get their job done. We use some of those instincts to manipulate them into a conditioned response to get what we want out of them. One must know and understand how they tick to do that.
You don’t get it and you never will. Go back and watch more of the Disney channel.
