In this episode, I explore the origins of the saying “You can’t teach an old dog new tricks”—dating all the way back to 1546—and why this belief can actually hold dog owners back.

Here’s what we cover:

• The history behind this common phrase
• Why believing it can cause problems in training
• How older dogs can learn with the right approach
• Why patience is your best tool for success
