The Truth:

My grandmother, at the age of eighty, began a soapmaking business and learned to parasail. I know a seventy-year old man who learned to race jet-skis. Good thing no one told them that myth. The key word here is “myth.” Dogs can learn new skills and commands within their physical capabilities until the day they pass away. What’s more, they want to learn. Their minds need stimulation-just like ours.
