So much of what we read about training has to do with puppies and young dogs. But the fact is, older dogs can learn, too, and many of them want to.
As you view this video, notice how the 13-year-old Golden Retriever’s tail wags happily whenever she responds to a cue, and how obviously eager she is to perform. Despite her sensory impairments (partial deafness and sight impairment), she’s a happy, healthy-looking dog who not only is clearly exercising her mind but is also still getting a kick out of life.
Enjoy!

Susan McCullough has been a professional writer for 30-plus years, but didn't start focusing on dogs until 1996, when an overzealous Sheltie attacked and shredded a message that had been faxed to Susan's office. Instead of merely telling the sender "My dog ate your fax," Susan decided to see seek expert advice about how to share an office with one's animal companion. She turned that advice into an article for a national pet magazine, and she's been writing about dog behavior and care ever since.
Thank you for the sensible critique. Me and my neighbor were just preparing to do some research on this. We got a book from our area library but I think I learned better from this post. I’m very glad to see such wonderful information being shared freely out there..
It’s in point of fact a nice and useful piece of info. I am happy that you simply shared this helpful tidbit with us. Please keep us up to date like this. Thank you for sharing.
