The capacity to learn is hereditary, but all animals except a very few at the margin can be trained. Even humans. It’s just that the cost increases with the decrease in neotenic evolution and or class.

Please contribute one of your dog vs human training examples here. Not just for this fellow but so I can save it and quote you given that this false objection comes up all to regularly.

Manners are imitation. The rest is intelligence. Even kids with 60IQ’s can be taught exceptional manners. In fact, that’s about all that’s necessary for them to successfully survive in society despite their deficits.

The same is true for dogs. To train a Siberian Husky ,which is not all that dissimilar from a house cat, is possible, it’s just a LOT more work than training a golden or labrador retriever.
