re: Force Fetching Retrievers?

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.
