"How do I fix our retrieve?" --It seems many people are shifting back into a training mindset as there's been a recent increase in questions about force fetch. GOOD NEWS! A couple of years ago I compiled an entire series breaking down each component to Force Fetch from various experienced trainers.

--------------------

This isn't just about making your dog retrieve; it's about teaching them how to learn, creating a deeper bond, and building unwavering reliability. Whether your dog is a natural retriever or not, force fetch formalizes the entire process, addressing issues like hard mouths and lack of consistent hand-offs. It's a step-by-step program, like reading a picture book, and each step is essential for long-term success. By using various objects, you're helping your dog generalize the skill and build confidence, not to mention learn how to turn off pressure. So, if you're looking to take your dog's training to the next level, this episode will show you the "why" behind the process, and help you better understand how to work with your dog, whether you're just starting out, or looking to improve what you already have.
