Depends on how teachable the old dog is.

If you have seen how useless parents/grandparents are at using the video recorder to set a program, you get an idea of the scale of the task. The learning circuits in a dogs brain are on a similar basis.
It is possible to teach an old dog new tricks, it would be on a par with teaching my grandparents to using the video recorder. Show them simple steps for 3 hours explaining in easy words how to do it, and find later it makes no difference!

yeah I couuld. It might be hard depending on the kind of dog I get encounter with.
Some dogs are easy to teach while others feel they know much therefore neglecting new principles.
An old man of the 14s can now be taught how to operate computers or even some new skills talkless of a dog who is taken as a pet to be tamed.

Yes you can! Many old dogs are more patient than puppies. So, it might even be easier... unless the old dog falls asleep during lessons.
