You really waited a long time to decide whether to train. Buy the "Green Book" published by the NAHDA organization. It is the simplest way to train and it is what I used on my Wirehair. It is a great book. I had two Springers before my Wirehair and they came with my wife and I didn't get to train them. They were all inside dogs. Come, whoa, go fetch, kennel, are the only commands you have to know. Everything else is "too much". Buy the book.
