Obedience training - which makes dogs more socially acceptable and happier and better companions - is always a good idea.

Your dog is barely past puppyhood and there is no age at which a dog cannot learn.

It is never too late to train - and it is always very valuable and important.
It would be like saying you were too old to learn a new job or have a new relationship, and you aren't.
