is it true?

[Amber]

Ive heard of this quote.."You cant teach an old dog, new tricks" Is that true? hehe I'd like to teach Katie some more tricks, and she is an older dog.


dumb question, I know

No one, or DOG, is ever too old to learn! Chalk it up to an old wive's tale! (Or a lazy dog guardian!)

I know that isn't true at all! It's just like with adult humans, in my opinion. How about that man that was in his 90's that learned to read?! It may take longer, because as young ones, brains are like sponges, but, you most definitely CAN teach an old dog new tricks.

There are no dumb questions . I'd say definitely yes, an older dog can easily be taught new tricks. I think it's harder to break a habit in an older dog, but not really to teach a new trick

Okay, Thanks!

I feel like an idiot for asking this now, but at least I know!

Exactly! Kaedyn was so easy to teach commands to. It was just as easy as it was teaching Kai as a pup. But breaking the habbit of barking at every moving thing will be tough.

Don't worry, that wasn't a dumb question at all.

Thats good.
