Force Fetching Retrievers?

My dog is being trained now and at first he was responding well. When they started him on the forcing table he didnt take to it very good. He has been on the table a while now and my trainer said he is improving, but they dont like the owners to visit while they are forcing. I work offshore and really dont have time to visit anyways. should i be concerned about my dog? he has been on the table a little over two weeks. Does anyone have experience with forcing a dog.

I force fetched my dog and did a slow process. Over a month. But i did a slow non overly aggressive method.
It worked really well though. Didnt force fetch my first dog.

I wouldn't be concerned. If the dog is going to be a serious hunting of field trial dog he needs to be force fetched. 2 weeks ought to be getting close to done though. I would assume the reason they don't want people there for force fetching is they are causing "discomfort" to the dog and its possible an owner would freak out over it. No matter how you slice it the "discomfort" has to exist in force fetching so this guy isn't doing anything wrong or different than any other trained dog has been through.
