a friend of mine is leaving for hawaii, and he has a 9month old american white lab that he has given me. The dog is house broke,which is great, he retrieves very well, and drops on command. I have an english choc lab, but he is just a lap dog, no will to hunt. I am wanting to know, do you think its too late to train this dog for upland hunting? When i try to teach him to heel, he just jumps by my side!! Any pointers on what i can do to help this dog would be appreciated.
