Yes, they can! And in fact if you continue to teach your dog new tricks through their lifetime the aging process will be easier for them. As their senses and energy declines you can create new games and tricks that will play into their strengths and give them confidence. The tricks can keep them moving and limber and help support their brain health.
What games to play? Maybe you no longer play tug a war as your dog looses its teeth. You can play parachute instead. Start with a hand towel and graduate to a bath towel and a throw blanket as your dog gains conference. Basically you play hide and seek b covering their face. They may brush the towel off with a paw or shake it off. When they do reward them with a treat and some love. This will help them as they loose eyesight too.
