Similarly, you may ask, is a 10 month old dog too old to train?
By the time your pup has reached 10 months old he will be so well trained the neighbor's children will look like little demons in comparison. But remember, the learning and training should never end. Introduce new, more challenging behaviors and fun tricks.
Should a dog be potty trained by 8 months?
Most puppies can be housebroken prior to 8 months of age using traditional methods. But for older dogs that are still having accidents in the house, the umbilical cord method should be used. This method has worked on the most difficult housebreaking cases and can be used with dogs of any age.
