Many people believe the saying “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks” but we couldn’t disagree more. Dogs, like humans, continue to learn new things throughout their life and many dogs that have been poorly treated over the years learn to adapt to a new way of live in just a few months. In that time they’ll learn to love, they’ll learn new tricks, they’ll learn how to properly interact with humans and dogs, so make sure you don’t believe this silly saying. If you have a dog who’s moving into his or her later years, why not make it your mission to teach him or her something new ever day. You might be impressed with the results. We’ve known dogs as old as ten years to learn tricks such as ‘leave’, ‘paw’ and ‘fetch’ so we’ll never buy into this saying.
