I think the correct proverb would be 'Old Habits die hard'!It's not an idiom actually. The real idiom is 'barking dogs seldom/never bite'.
Still though, the use of this 'idiom' is inappropriate here, the sole derivation from this is that you're calling him a 'dog' which is inappropriate.
I'd appreciate it if you remove it.
