Our cute little furry buddies are not so awesome all the time. In truth, the resulting behavior we observe in modern dogs is mostly a product of the dog's inner impulses.

The behaviors we wish to see in our pets will depend on how we train their impulses and instincts. Many dog activities are governed by instincts and instincts are basic, inherent behaviors that dogs are born with.

Dogs, for instance, are born with the ability to dig; they don't need to learn! Animals' instincts aid in survival.

Dogs naturally guard their food and their territory to keep them safe. It advises against approaching or attempting to play with a dog who is eating.

While some of these behaviors are innate in dogs, others can be taught by a dog's parents or other pack members, including some that are based on rules. The dog in today's AITA story ate the meat the OP was cooking and the meat was meant to be for the entire week.

The OP left the meat sealed in a container on a table and left to go to the toilet. On returning to put it in the fridge the container was laying on the ground empty.

The OP called the dad to complain about the dog's behavior while calling it a moron. The dad screamed and called the OP an unintelligent moron who judges a dog who simply follows it’s instinct.
