Old dog with new tricks

This is a 12 year old sweety named Chelsea sitting to Xila’s left.  I always say, “that the only one to say that you can’t teach an old dog new tricks is the old dog.”  Well this dog was in need of some boundary training on her beautiful 8 acres and the owners preferred not to use an invisible fence so we put the old girl through her paces with all the commands and she has proven to be happy and pliable throughout the process.  I was very reluctant to train this sweet, well mannered senior dog simply out of respect for her age and naturally wonderful personality, I would of just modified her physical freedom a bit and let her live out her days as is— but she has shown that if she was a human, she’d be a very educated, progressive old lady that shops online and uses email!  It’s a pleasure to see an old gal like this so healthy and happy.
