What's the difference in training a dog can take/learn if you get a young puppy vs a dog that is several months or a year old?

Older dogs have a harder time honoring imo.
When they are 8-10 weeks old, you can teach them simple things that become part of their psyche. Sit, Stay, Come...all to a whistle as well. Older dogs have had opportunities to "learn" things you don't want them to do.
two cents worth....

I think the training any age dog can take is about the same. The problem with an older dog is that they are set in their ways. You are not only training but breaking bad habits and starting something otherwise not familiar.
Essentially like teaching a newborn Chinese as opposed to a 3 year old or an adult IMO
