Force Fetch - The Key Foundation
For all Competent Hunting Dogs.

Force fetch — the application of stimulation to cue a dog to pick up an object on command — teaches the dog to deal with pressure and to turn pressure off, a key to much of the dog's future training — depending on the program being used.

Force fetch can also help define the trainer's alpha role in the pack hierarchy, as well as bolding up timid dogs and bringing dominant dogs under control.

For many American Gun Dog enthusiasts, and even dogs that may well never be required to retrieve, such as some pointing breeds, the trained retrieve, or force fetch, can be the backbone of an entire training method.

No matter the type of dog or the use that it is intended for, the trained retrieve will bring about many of the same issues, problems and frustrations for the trainer; working through those obstacles is the key to properly engraining the trained retrieve.

And properly is the key word. For as important and fundamental as the trained retrieve is, it is also one of the most difficult parts of a training program for a novice to get right. Direct supervision and instruction are always the best way to learn a complicated task.
