No training needed. what can humans do without being taught? fear of heights was about all I came up with. maybe the ability to throw a rock fairly accurately?

my parent had sheep and belgian shephards are bred to control the flock with signals from their master, without training they like to chase sheep and they will also herd a group pf children, they run in circles and can run and jump over things with amazing agility.
Nope on both fear of heights and ability to throw a rock. LOL!

Yeah, isn't it amazing how dogs have specific innate abilities like that. I've seen enough videos of puppies herding or pointers pointing etc....
