A girl takes her dog and put him in a obstacle course. When the dog completes the course she gives him a treat. After a few tries, the dog knows what to do and gets the treat every time at the end. Is this an example of an Inherited Trait or a Learned behavior? Explain
Learned behavior because a dog is not born knowing how to complete an obstacle course. It is not something that will come naturally to them. It is something that needs to be learned/acquired.

If a dog is taught to sit when given a treat, he will eventually learn to just sit when you say sit. Do you think a dog in the wild/from the streets that had no previous owner would know how to sit on the first command? Why or why not?
No, he would not know how to. It is not an instinct or an inherited trait. The dog will need to be taught how to do this behavior.
