Thread: How old is too late for training? GSP pup

Hey team, just wanting the 10 cents of people with more dog experience

I’ve been offered a GSP dog that’s 6 months old and has been on a farm it’s life. Nothing wrong with the pup that I can tell, it just was never sold. It’s well socialised with the farm dogs but has had no training that I know of. Is it too late to get a pup like this and train it up for the basics of hunting?

Both parents were keen hunters and I’m pretty realistic about how it might go. The end goal is more of a companion animal for the hills, I don’t expect it to lead me onto animals like top dogs do.

Thanks in advance for the help
