As a Family Dog Mediator, Genetics plays a significant role in understanding why a dog behaves in a particular way. A dog's genetic makeup, influenced by its breed and ancestry, can dictate fundamental traits like temperament, energy levels, and instinctual drives. For instance, herding breeds may have a strong instinct to chase, while guard dogs are wired to be protective. These instincts were historically bred to help dogs perform specific roles, but in a modern home setting, they can sometimes lead to behavioral challenges.
