They say you can’t teach an old dog new tricks and that is true. Sandy at Pontchahoa Kennels where our dogs stay sometimes said that Heidi is too old to learn – she’s five. So I have given up on trying. Used to be we’d get to the corner and I’d have to work, work, work with Heidi to get her to sit while Loca performed beautifully. Now I just have decided to praise Loca for her good habits and ignore Heidi’s shortcomings.
