Answer:

A dogs' ability to bark is innate

Step-by-step explanation:

The word "Innate" can be used to define that certain ability that had no beginning, while also meaning "something born with the individual." In other words, the word "Innate" refers to a skill that did not need training to be used, that is, that skill was born with the individual.

In the case of dogs, the ability to obey commands needs training so that the dog can obey everything without making mistakes. However, the dog is born knowing how to bark, not needing to be taught or trained. So we can say that barking is an innate ability of dogs.
