Heh. Oh, dogs. I love using older dogs to train younger ones. My husband is resistant to getting a second dog, and I keep saying "look, I grew up with dogs. Training them is 100x easier if you have an older dog to do the heavy lifting!"

(Our own dog was trained by my mother's German Shepherd, a sweet soul named Loki, who in turn was trained by the dog-of-my-heart, the dog I still blink back tears from missing, 10 years after she died. That dog, my precious dog, was the last dog anyone in my family had to train from the ground up with no older dog to help.)
