Older dogs have learned what "no" means. If
they hadn't learned it, they wouldn't have gotten to be "older" dogs. 5. Older dogs settle in easily, because they've learned what it takes to
get along with others and become part of a pack.
6. Older dogs are good at giving love, once they get into their new, loving
home. They are grateful for the second chance they've been given.
7. What
You See Is What You Get: Unlike puppies, older dogs have grown into their shape
and personality. Puppies can grow up to be quite different from what they seemed at first.

8. Older dogs are instant
companions -- ready for hiking, car trips, and other things you like to do.
9. Older dogs leave you time for yourself, because they don't make the
kinds of demands on your time and attention that puppies and young dogs do.
10. Older dogs let you get a good night's sleep because they're accustomed to
human schedules and don't generally need nighttime feedings, comforting, or bathroom
breaks.

1. Older
dogs are housetrained. You won't have to go through
the difficult stage(s) of teaching a puppy house manners and mopping up after accidents.
