What is the difference between instinct behavior and learning behavior?

Instinct behaviour is when people or animals do something and they don't know why eg dogs burying a bone. We are a long way away from the time when dogs had to eat when they could. If they had a lot of food, they would bury some for a time when they were hungry ready to be dug up again. Learned behaviour is simply things that we learn to do from watching someone (usually a parent) doing it. We would never have done it by "instinct", we learned to do it.
