Just recently inherited a 3 yr old dog who is very smart and bird crazy. My question is is he to old to start training whete do I begin and what equipment do I need to start?

Never to late to start training.

Never to old. What breed and what do you hunt? In the old days had a check cord-rope and whistle.

He is a yellow lad. I would like to hunt both upland and water. He is extremely bird crazy thw first week he was with us he caught a small bird out of the air and brought it to my wife. And he has learned they fly into our trees in the back yard so he jumps and pushes on the tree to try and flush them out. Its really fun to watch.

And should i start with sit, stay, heel and here first before starting all of thw fun stuff?

Check cord, whistle, e ecollar and learn how to use properly instructions. I can't stress that enough. Bumpers don't forget lots of
Patience, And the number one thing... birds and more birds.

Start with basic obedience first come, stay, sit, heel, fetch. Once you master them with your dog. If you haven't already. Get on birds.

Make every step and hunt fun
Congrats on your new dog.
