    Modern dogs learn bite inhibition for the same reason that their ancestors, the wolves, did: in order to establish an effective dominance hierarchy. [5] It allows for tranquility in large groups when each individual knows its place. Dominance hierarchies may be formed in groups of canines through intense displays of aggression. [6]

    Dogs can have the maternal instincts to start grooming their puppies, consume their puppies' feces, and protect their puppies, likely due to their hormonal state. [124] [125] While male-parent dogs can show more disinterested behaviour toward their own puppies, [126] most can play with the young pups as they would with other dogs or humans. [127]
