Senior Dog Training Tips: Keeping Your Older Pup Sharp, Happy & Loved

Senior dogs are pure magic, those gentle eyes, soft muzzles, and years of loyalty deserve the very best care. But here’s something many people don’t realise… training shouldn’t stop when your dog reaches their golden years.

In fact, gentle, positive reinforcement training can help keep their minds sharp, their confidence high, and their tails wagging. From adjusting exercises to fit aching joints, to adding enrichment games that match their pace, this episode of Paws and Pawsitivity is packed with tips to help your older dog thrive.

I’ll also share the heartfelt story of Bisley, our Jack Russell who lived to the incredible age of seventeen, proving that joy, learning, and connection don’t have an age limit.

If you love your senior pup and want to make their golden years as fulfilling as possible, tune in and discover how kindness-first training can keep them safe, happy, and engaged every day.
