When's too old to force fetch?

[MarshRat89]

My dog will be 3 in a month. I trained her myself but never finished forcing her. We made it through hold and picking up the dummy on command. Once I started the ground work it started getting rough and I was scared to mess her up not knowing fully what I was doing. I picked it bAck up a couple months later and had her working a line up to about 20 yards. Hunting season ended, Laziness, and lack of time got in the way, and I stopped working her. Hunted her this weekend. All her marked retrieves were great, but the blinds she went to her typical hunt on her own and eventually find it 5 minutes later deal. Is it too late to try and finish forcing her? She still knows her commands to pick up the bird and delivers to hand just won't work a line and doesn't know hand signals.
