Mandy, my mother’s eight-year-old Miniature Poodle, came to live with us this fall when my mother went into a nursing home. Since then she has learned to live and play with my pack, something TOTALLY new to her. While she had been litter box trained, she learned to go outside to potty in less than a month. Most amazing to me — she is learning agility, doing extremely well in it and loving every minute. Not only can you teach an old dog new tricks, an old dog can teach an old handler new tricks! — Donna
