Expierence and correct guidance would be a BIG pluss first. old dogs LOVE to learn new tricks

They're just grateful for anyone to come to the kennel and take the dogs out to the exercise yard and toss a ball or give them some cookies.

MANY of the other volunteers, unfortunately, were just dog lovers that didn't have a clue about what makes a dog tick. However, they were great for the walking and playing you mention. old dogs LOVE to learn new tricks

A shelter or rescue would be a better second stop but not the first. Stop making excuses for your dog and start training it!
