I think all those things play a role. A dog can be trained to know that peeing on the carpet is wrong, for example. But of course, that's just bc he'll know he's not supposed to due to his training.
I'm not entirely sure that animals have any free will, but if they do it's certainly not to the same level as us.

"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
