Mini, I don’t know you or your dog. If the dog is smart and you’re soft you’re not gonna make much progress. On the other hand, if the dog has the basics of obedience down and you are tough enough not to give up. Go for it. At two years you have an adolescent, they learn fast at this age. You are probably going to have to use Force Fetch, if you want a dependable retriever.

I also have trained two mature dogs to retrieve. One was a Norwegian Elkhound the other was an Airedale. They both did a good job, but they had their idiosyncrasies. If you can live with imperfection you will probably be pleased.
