Detailed explanation-1: -This behavior is not hardwired into the dog’s DNA; it is learned behavior, or a conditioned response (usually barking) to a conditioned stimulus (doorbell or knock). The dog learns through repeated exposure that when the doorbell rings, you jump up and open the door to reveal a person on the other side.
Detailed explanation-2: -A learned behavior is something that you are taught or have learned to do. We do learn somethings from our parents but other things such as skateboarding we might learn by ourselves. Some examples are, playing an instrument, playing sports, style, cooking.
Detailed explanation-3: -Habituation, imprinting, classical conditioning, operant conditioning, and cognitive learning.
Detailed explanation-4: -Learned behavior comes from watching other animals and from life experiences. By watching their mother, baby ducks learn how to avoid danger and to know what is good to eat. This is an example of learned behavior.
