If you are serious about understanding your dog, study this page. Behavior Drives are the instincts that make your dog act the way he does. Everything that your dog does is determined by a specific behavior drive. When a dog bites, chases cats, or raises a litter of puppies, they are being driven to do so by their instincts or genetic make-up. A trainer looks for these specific drives or instincts when beginning training.
Every dog has similar drives relating back to their common ancestor, the wolf.
Through selective breeding, humans have emphasized certain drives in certain breeds according to the tasks desired. Pack Behavior is social behavior. The dog wants to be part of a group or pack. In order to maintain social order within the pack ceratin rules of behavior must be observed. Dogs bond closely with humans and want to be with them.
