I don't think dogs are ever too old to be trained. For many reasons, you may move to a new house; you may get new pets, you may have babies. Many things may change with your work schedule, and we're always evolving, and they need to be able to change along with us. And they want to please. And so find out what motivates them. Is it playing ball, is it food? And then be able to do something and reward them the way they like to be rewarded.

Dog preventative care is kind of a misunderstanding. We call things like flea, tick, and heartworm products preventative care but, honestly, preventative care is primarily an annual exam, at the very least, by your veterinarian to talk about adding certain prescriptions or making lifestyle changes at home.
