Which of the following statements provides a logical and objective conclusion about the difficulty of teaching a dog to climb trees based on biological constraints? If dogs' behavior is appropriately shaped, they can easily learn to climb trees. Since dogs do not have retractable claws and do not typically climb trees, it may be difficult to teach a dog to climb trees.
