I personally have never believed the old saying, "you can't teach an old dog new tricks."

My boy is 3 years old and just learned to hold his foot up and say "Gimme four"

Mythbusters tv show tested the myth that you cant teach an old dog new tricks.

They proved you COULD teach old dogs new tricks.

Heck, I just taught my wife to mow the lawn
