            &lt;div class=&quot;content&quot;&gt;They&#039;re never too old. I adopted a 2 year old dog and took her through training. When she was 7 we went through again just so she&#039;d stay active. &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
If it&#039;s a larger breed dog and older, then you may want to skip puppy kindergarten - where they work on socializiation, etc. - and start with a basic obedience class.&lt;/div&gt;</description>

            &lt;div class=&quot;content&quot;&gt;Never too old. My dad got a stubborn-as-nails old Bloodhound/Bluetick cross from the shelter who had been abused, and with gentle training and professional instruction, was able to get a dog who sat, stayed, came, and layed (even if it wasn&#039;t on the first try... XD).&lt;/div&gt;</description>

            &lt;div class=&quot;content&quot;&gt;Too old? When she can&#039;t get up to move any more.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Despite the common aphorism, you most certainly CAN teach an old dog new tricks, including obedience.&lt;/div&gt;</description>

            &lt;div class=&quot;content&quot;&gt;A dog is too old when it can&#039;t PHYSICALLY withstand the requirements of the class. &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Six months is not even CLOSE to too old. You would benefit greatly from a class, specially if she has never been taught anything before now. &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
The old saying, &quot;You can&#039;t teach an old dog a new trick&quot; is false (as are many old sayings for dogs). A dog can learn to do anything if you are committed. Granted, I won&#039;t say it&#039;s easy to teach an old dog that&#039;s already used to a certain way of behaving as it would be teaching a puppy that is a blank canvas. &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
But your dog is still a puppy, so she should catch on very quickly.&lt;/div&gt;</description>
