Hi,

I am about to adopt a 7 year old black lab. The previous owners are moving and can't take the dog with them. The dog is very well behaved, walks off leash, heels, sit, stay, come, etc. I live on a huge farm and am an avid deer hunter. Even though I'm pretty much just taking the dog as a companion dog for hikes, and yard work and stuff, I figure maybe I can get him into some hunting thus adding some more seasons for myself

Right out my front door I have access to rabbit, squirrel, dove and geese. My question is, and i'm afraid I know the answer, does a 7 year old lab with no previous hunting experience have a chance at being trained? I will have plenty of time to work with him too. If anyone has any suggestions or can recommend training websites, books or videos, it would be soooo much apprecitated!!! Thanks for any help!
