It is never too late for canine education and FINE-TUNED CANINES is thrilled to have the opportunity to work with a senior this time: a 9-year old Vizsla female named Indiana (Indiana Jones) from Fort Myers, FL. Indiana's "little sister", Jersey (also a Vizsla) came to train with us before and now it is her older sister’s turn to learn some new skills. Indiana is proof that older dogs not only can learn new skills, but that they enjoy learning and having something to think about. It is beneficial to keep an older dog active both physically and mentally because just like older people, dogs are happier when they know that they have goals in life, that they have things that they enjoy doing and that they can feel proud of their new achievements. 

Indiana showed us that she really craved some challenges. She also showed that she learns fast. Her tail keeps moving when she knows she has just had another training success. Her head goes up, her body posture changes and she shows her big smile. Her recent achievements have even surprised her own owners, who never thought that she would be able to learn certain skills.

She has learned fast and she is very satisfied with her own new skills.

Indiana has a lot of vigor and loves fetching a ball. Last but not least, she loves working side-by-side with a human and having some individual attention from a human. We love working with this mature lady and she's a lot of fun.
