My 7-year-old dog is vicious. Can an older aggressive dog be trained?

Question

I wasn't able to take my dog Jake, to Obedience Classes when young - Short on Cash = only could afford to take one dog. She is now dead. Anyway, Jake didn't get to go to the Classes. He is 7 yrs. old., now, and since he was about 2 - 3 yrs. old, Jake has been a Dr. Jekyl/Mr. Hyde dog. When I take him to Vets, or on walks, I have to muzzle him. Terribly Vicious. Is there any way to calm him down and behave? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 7 years and 7 months old

It is never too late to take a dog to obedience school (I once had a thirteen-year-old in one of my classes!) I would recommend that you enroll Jake as soon as possible. Be sure to tell the instructor what particular problems you are having with him. Good luck!
