Even if is harder and less guaranteed, can a dog begin obedience training at adulthood? please, read details.?

Question

What I want to know is if any normal street or wilderness dog can learn obedience to an acceptable degree, it doesn't have to be champion on those "best Dog Shows". Also, even if there may not guaranteed, have this happend before?; It maybe puppies better, or perhaps the majority of properly trained dogs are more "houseborn, house raised", but that is not what's important in my question- what's important is the answer about the likelyhood that it may happend ( Can it happend, could it be that a street dog become acceptably trained, even if the number of these dogs is less than the number of dogs that are well trained that are already house pets; In other words, can it happend with proper training or is it almost always nearly impossible to train an adult untrained dog to behave acceptably well, and it requires a miracle?); Also, ignore which method should be used, as long if there is a method and not simply a matter of absolute luck without the possibility of Human influences. Thanks

Answer 1

yes a street dog (or even a wild dog or animal) of any age can be obedience trained if the person doing the training can gain the animals trust and knows what they are doing. food allways works best.

Answer 2

With time and patience dogs from any background and of any age can learn to be obediant well mannered pets.
You have to take the time and work with them and find out what motivates them and practice with them.
I work with some very ill mannered dogs who have had no more than housebreaking and turn them into very nice well mannered house pets. It just takes time and work on the owners part.

Answer 3

Of course it is possible, and it happens all the time. Many dogs are found as stray adults and, when taken to obedience school, learn great manners and end up as well-trained housepets.

Answer 4

We take adult dogs in all the time. Most of them have no training no one in their lives ever cared about them. They learn. We bring them into our homes with our families and our own pets so that they can be adopted to other families. We had one adult dog that went through drug training with one of our local police departments. No one thought he was ever going to learn anything but he did.

Answer 5

A dog of any age and background can be trained. Dogs want to please their owners. They live on praise!
We do training on dogs of all ages in our rescue. If they are a lot older, it can take a little longer, but they do train.

Answer 6

yes it is possible. my dog is 9 and i can still teach him tricks. 2 moths ago I tought him to play dead. and he does it. GOOD LUCK!!!
