Is it ever too late to train your dog?

Your Dog Is Never Too Old for Training. It's never too late to train a dog. The trick to training an older dog (who may have picked up some bad manners over the years) is to teach him to think about what behaviors he should do to earn a reward and how to respond when he is asked to perform that behavior.

Is it possible to train older dogs?

While most people associate training with puppies, the reality is that dogs can learn at any age. Adult dogs are often easier to train than young puppies because they have more self-control. It's also important to keep training your dog as it matures.

Can you still train a 2 year old dog?

2 years is at the best age to teach a dog to do things. You just need to learn how to teach your dog, and convince your dog that it has to pay attention. (I've had people tell me their dog can't learn tricks and I've taught the dog to sit or lay down in under 5 minutes.) A basic obedience class will be a big help.
