You cannot teach an old dog new tricks

You can’t teach an old dog new tricks

While dog gnaws bone, companions would be none

Three things are not to be trusted: a cow’s horn, a dog’s tooth, and a horse’s hoof

They lead a cat-and-dog life

We may not expect a good whelp from an ill dog

Want a pretence to whip a dog, say that he ate the frying-pan

Two dogs over one bone seldom agree

Two dogs strive for a bone, and a third runs away with it

Trust not a horse’s heel nor a dog’s tooth

Too much pudding will choke a dog

To call off the dogs

The silent dog bites first

The scalded dog fears cold water

The mad dog bites his master

The dog in the manger won’t eat the oats nor let anyone else eat them

Take a hair of the dog that bit you

Many dogs soon eat up a horse

One barking dog sets all the street a barking

Never was cat or dog drowned, that could but see the shore

Never trust a sleeping dog, a swearing Jew, a praying drunkard, or a weeping woman

To teach the dog to bark

To take the nuts from the fire with the dog’s foot

When the old dog barks, he giveth counsel

Like the gardner’s dog, that neither eats cabbage himself, nor lets anybody else

He that’s resolved to beat a dog, never wants long a stick

He who lies down with dogs will rise with fleas

If you would wish the dog to follow you, feed him

Cut off a dog’s tail and he will be a dog still

Dog eats dog

Dog that is idle barks at his fleas, but he that is hunting feels them not

Dogs bark as they are bred

Dogs that bark at distance bite not at hand

Dogs wag their tails no so much to you as your bread

Don’t teach the dog to bark
