Sorry, Joel, in my book, dogs don't have a moral understanding of "right" and "wrong". To know "right" and "wrong" is to imply that the animal has a distinct moral code.

Rather, dogs know a) REWARDED behavior and b) PUNISHED behavior. Rewarded v. Punished, not "right" v. "wrong". The dog thinks in positive, negative, rewarded, punished. They don't see "right" and "wrong". WE see "right" and "wrong". WE determine what is "right" and "wrong" behavior.

"Right" and "wrong" are human manifestations. When you say you teach your dog right and wrong behaviors, you're teaching them behaviors that elicit rewards vs. punishments. They see it as "will this behavior elicit reward or punishment?" not, "should I do this because it is 'right'?"

As far as I and the scientific community is concerned, dogs haven't yet proven that they possess that moral guidance. So I believe you and I have different definitions of the words "right" and "wrong" and "good" and "bad".
