Nature vs Nurture

In this video, dog training and behaviour expert Roger Abrantes discusses the effects that Nature and Nurture have on our dog's behaviour.

Respected ethologist, Roger (PhD, BA) has written numerous books on behaviour and travels the world giving talks and seminars offering advice and information on dog behaviour issues.

In this video, he looks at the relationship between genetic predispositions (nature) and environmental conditions (nurture). Which has the greater influence on puppy through to adult dog? Does the breed of the dog have an impact? What is the impact of the first experiences a dog has and can negative influences be overcome?
