Absolutely not too late. We adopted Simbo when he was 9 years old (he's almost 10 now) and with the help of a trainer we have him as trained as he has ever been, and probably the most trained we'll ever get him to be (age does affect certain things, just not all.)
He came us with no training _ none, though he did sort of know how to walk on a leash. He didn't let us brush him, would pee everywhere, wasn't crate trained, nothing.
We now have him sitting, staying, heeling, doing a few tricks, totally potty and crate trained … took about three months, give or take.
Don't despair. |
