From Puppies to Seniors: Adapting Dog Training Through Every Life Stage

Send us a text

In this episode, Kim and Carla explore what it really means to create age-appropriate training and environments for dogs—from wriggly puppies to wise seniors.


They unpack how thoughtful adjustments in routine, physical space, and expectations can make a world of difference, sharing practical tips like:


  • Using non-slip mats to support dogs with mobility challenges
  • Adjusting training goals based on age, energy, and physical ability
  • Rethinking traditional commands like “sit” in the context of different breeds and body types
  • Supporting dogs’ mental and physical well-being through realistic walks, scent work, and rest
  • Recognizing subtle changes in behaviour that may signal discomfort, pain, or aging


Kim shares relatable stories, including a dog who refused to jump off a slippery floor (and was absolutely right to do so), while both hosts reflect on how training, care, and expectations evolve over time.


Whether you’re raising a puppy, living with a senior dog, or just want to meet your dog where they are, this episode is packed with insight, empathy, and real-life experience.
