I think you've got some rotten biotheory there. Every animal acts out a preprogrammed genetically established behavioral code. Some of them can be trained or bred to do things that make them worthwhile for man raise and keep. Most animals have no concept of self interest. Deprive them of their accustomed food and they will die surrounded by piles of nutricious stuff they don't recognize as food. Dogs, those lovable mutts, will knock themselves out to please people. I have a border collie that will not eat brocoli. I have a streetwise Abyssinian mountain dog who will eat anything. Dogs will even sacrifice themselves to save their masters, I am told. They will certainly housebreak themselves. Man is the only species capable of enlightened self interest. Only a few of them, of course. But babies won't housebreak themselves.
