hi, I have 2 Shih Tzu's one is 9 and the other is 7. I never thought about teaching the dogs tricks and training them to be able to. Do you think that it is too late?

It's never too late...my 9 year old Poodle just learned to lay down on command and sit. He is so small and so well behaved, I just never thought about it with him. I have been training my 7 month old Catahoula puppy who is treat driven, and the Poodle stands next to him begging for a treat too. He learned to lay down and sit by watching the puppy, and his absolute NEED for a treat helped.
