Never too late/never too early!
Jackson knew sit, stay, come, down, high-five, roll over, shake, bang bang (play dead)
by 5 months old.

I think they DO learn easier as a young pup but they're definitely
capable of learning at any age. I saw a video once of the oldest living Yorkie (he was in
his 20's, I believe) and they taught him a few tricks that he had never done in his life! It
was amazing. 10 mo. old is still very young. I'm sure Nick will pick up really fast! Here's
a really good site: http://www.loveyourdog.com/tricks.html
Good luck and be sure to let us know of your progress! I use little pieces of cheese to train
Jackson tricks. He would do ANYTHING for cheese!
