You can’t teach an old dog new tricks

This phrase means that it is very difficult to teach someone a new way of doing things because that person has been doing things his or her own way for a long time and is not prepared to try new ways.

Origin: This phrase was recorded in the book Divers Proverbs by Nathan Baily in 1721.
