How old? Does your lab come from hunting lines? What are you looking to train him for?

It's never too late. It is harder to build prey drive in older dogs that don't already have it. For obedience, its better to start around 6 mos, but you can still train an older dog without too many problems if you aren't trying to undo bad habits.

How old were your other dogs when you started training them? Might use that as a guage..Don
