38. And yet I find older dogs to be infinitely more trainable then puppies.

Puppies always have to chew and play and run and discover the world. Older dogs are calmer and more composed. A 2 year old dog is more interested in what you are doing, than a puppy who needs to see what is happening everywhere. Even 4 and 5 year old dogs are more willing to sit still and pay attention to what their master's want.

So maybe the saying should be, "You can't teach an old racist new tricks".
