- The first question on this channel

is can you teach an old dog new tricks?

Have you ever asked this and did you ever

think this maybe of your own dog?

If so, I'm here to tell you yes, most definitely.

Blessings.

This is Bear Heart and Luna.

Thank you for attending my YouTube channel.

It's brand new, it's called the Dao of Dog.

What I'm going be doing is going over everything dog.

We're gonna be going over the psychology.

We're gonna be going over training.

We're gonna be going over different myths and myth busting.

Give you a great opportunity to dive

into a deeper relationship with you and your dog,

and at the same time understanding ourselves even better.

A little bit about me.

I've been professionally training dogs for over 10 years.

That's given me over 50,000 hours of true dog time.

I've been able to in that time have thousands of clients,

thousands of repetitions,

and understanding what doesn't work and what does.

There is no reason why a dog can't learn.

Mama starts teaching them from a few days.

As soon as they get to us we start.

Up until the time that they take their last breath,

one way or another they're learning.

Just depends on what type of an influence

we want to be in that learning process.

So can an older dog,

because it's all relative of what old is,

can anything other than a two day old dog learn?

Of course.

As soon as we switch what our expectation is

the dog will switch what their response is,

doesn't matter what the age.

So to be very straightforward, yes, a dog can always learn.

You can always learn.

We can always learn to have more

of a positive influence over our dog.

But if they're doing something and they have been

in a pattern for years and years and years,

and we think it's really hard for them

to break what that pattern is,

it's because that pattern is very strong for them.

But we can reverse it.

They can learn not to do it just

as long as there's another option.

And if we make sure that other option

is easier for the dog then they'll switch.

So yes, an old can learn new tricks,

a young dog can learn tricks.

All dogs can learn.

We need to switch what we're doing.

Thank you.

I hope you enjoy this channel.

Share it if you wish.

Subscribe so you get more time with me and dogs,

being able to see how we flow with them,

how we get into the psychology of them,

and real life understanding of what to do in the moment.

I look forward to going on this journey together.

Until then, train, play, and love.
