Hi there,
Yes, I think it would definately make a difference.....how is his hearing? An older dog can be a bit like an old Grandpa ie. selective hearing and seeing. A dogs sense of where they are and what is happening may improve when they start to lose their sight etc, but keep in mind that an older dog wonŽt be as keen to be bossed around, trained,asked to perform etc etc and the technique ( same as for Gramps!) is to ignore and pretend to be deaf etc
As he loses his senses he will retreat into a nice soft world, where he doesnŽt ask for much and is happy to just be out and about. What is he doing different on walks?
Give me some more information or problems you have and IŽll try to write more,
Annie
