A study showed that only ten percent of American dog owners enroll their dogs in formal obedience training classes. More than twenty percent of these dog owners, the study also showed, participate in dog shows. Thus, it is obvious that people who train their dogs are more likely to participate in dog shows than are people who do not train their dogs.

The conclusion above is correct provided which of the following statements is also true?

(A) It is impossible for a dog to compete in a dog show if the dog has not completed at least one formal obedience training class.

(B) The proportion of dog owners who enroll their dogs in formal obedience training classes is representative of the proportion who train their dogs outside such classes.

(C) Dog owners who participate in dog shows only train their dogs by enrolling them in formal obedience training lessons.

(D) Participation in dog shows is a reliable indicator of how much attention a dog owner pays to his dog.

(E) Only purebred dogs can participate in dog shows, so many owners who enroll their dogs in formal obedience training classes are excluded from this activity.

Option A: Wrong
It is not impossible for dogs to participate in dog shows even if they haven't gone through formal obedience classes because the classes aren't stated to be the requisite qualifications needed for dog shows just that it's an added advantage to go thigh the classes.

Option B: Wrong
Fallacious argument. It's a fallacy to arrive at such presumptions. For the fact that owners do not enroll their dogs not infer that they don't teach them outside such arrangements. In actual sense, dogs learn more from informal arrangements.

Option C:Wrong
There are different learning methods and processes Dogs are subjected to. The formal and informal ones. The formal obedience comes under the formal training methodology whilst the home training by the owners would suffice for the informal. In this regard, it is wrong to assert that dogs are only trained for competitions.

Option D: Right
This is very correct as it suggests emphatically that Dogs behavioral pattern in public outings could be as a result of the training it has been made to undergo by its owner.

Option E: Wrong
This statement did not elucidate on the types of dogs that can actively participate in the shows. It's speculative to think only purebred Dogs do participate in shows.
