I do not believe that dogs cannot make a decision to do right or wrong. Obviously they arent held to a moral standard as people are, but they know what they arent supposed to do most of the time. There would be no point in training them if they couldnt learn that. My Lola will run half way up the backyard when called, then make a decision that she does not want to come in if the weather is nice. She will lay down, and turn her head to the side when I am calling her, almost pretending to not listen. She KNOWS I am calling her, yet she is rebelling. Cleo has growled at the kids a couple of times. Each time, she quickly looked at me and ran to her crate because she didnt want to get scolded.
I dont believe for one minute that dogs dont know the difference. They might not understand "murder" or other moral sins, but our pets know they arent supposed to injure people. If they dont, then they shouldnt be pets.
