My mother got a 19 month old black lab for my father. After hunting for three hours last wensday that would more accuratly be call a hike I'm looking in to seeing if I could train the dog to be a retriever/flusher.

The dog might of had some previous training judging by he runs when he is off the lesh, with head down following his nose. So I am wondering if there are any typical hunting commands to see if there was any previous training.
Also would he, the dog be too old to train?
 
Every dog that I have hunted over was whistle and hand signal trained.
Whisle - 1 "toot" = sit
2 "toots" = stop and look at me for directions
4 "toots" = HERE

Hand used with 2 "toots" to point direction to go.
