Your family recently adopted a dog from an animal shelter. initially, the dog seemed nervous and territorial, but after a few weeks, she became affectionate and calm. which of the following must play some role in the dog's behavior? a) natureb) mindc) bodyd) nurture

D) nurture

Explanation:

Dogs are wonderful pet friends and deserve all the care. In order to have a healthy relationship with them, it is important to know some behavioral issues. All domestic dogs are descended from the pack-dwelling wolf. For the dog, the human family will be his "pack" and in it he will seek to find a leader, or a dominant. Thus, it is best for the owner to play the "dominant" role of the pack.

When the "dominant" promotes dog nutrition, the animal sees the dominant as a friend and begins to have friendly, loving behavior. For this reason, we can conclude that nurture plays an important role in dog behavior.
