You can teach a cat tricks if it is food motivated like mine is!

LoL Tammy, it’s next to impossible to teach a kitten tricks, let alone an older cat! :O

I wonder if you can teach an old cat new tricks?! It doesn’t seem to be working in the case of my grumpy old man, Oscar!

I agree, a dog’s age shouldn’t be used as an excuse. They may not have the same spring in their step as a young pup (even that is debatable depending on the dog) but they are still willing to learn a thing or two.

When learning is fun, age is never the obstacle for learning new things. I try to keep my dog as involved in my daily life as is possible. That way, there is always something new to discover and to learn.

You are so right! Many don’t realize that a dog at any age can learn to behave a certain way. Well…that is…unless it is a bloodhound! Ha! Just kidding.
