It depends on if the dog would like to learn! This is a very old school idiom, meaning once people are set in their ways, it is hard to change them. However, I find there are always people (and dogs!) who are willing to learn a thing or two.
Meaning people are set in their ways and don't want to change
It’s an idiom that means, “you cannot make people change their ways.”

False you can . Consistency and make sure you do not change the routine.
I hear this one all the time, I say false! I think anyone can learn with a proper method, even dogs.😂
Yes if taught well everybody can learn something new.
Actually you definitely can, it's never too late to learn even though it can be difficult at an old age. Good luck and say hi to your dog for me.
False! I think you most definitely can teach an old dog new tricks. It solely depends on whether that individual is seeking to learn as well. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink! 😉
