            When it refers to people, its impossible  or nearly impossible to change peoples habits or mindset.

              Ann the brain is far more plastic than people think. Hence all the environmental influences, indoctrination etc. hope you are well.

                Maybe unmitigated optimism - I think you can change man's way of thinking - if the brain is receptive - as for dogs well of course you can.

                  When we got David Jean 6 mths ago, he was 3 1/2 years.  He has since learned his new name, to sit on command, and not to eat the cat....(and he's up to 97 lbs.......)...

                    you can with some difficulty and a lot of frustrations. But the saying is definitive. Well teaching methods were different!
