re: Force Fetching Retrievers?

I've never understood what force fetching was either. From the YouTube videos I have watched, it is either making them hold onto something until you tell them to release it, or telling them to pick something up and they do it. My dog figured that out kinda on his own


I am guessing that there are some types of dogs that wouldn't take well to it. Only the haedest-headed and driven of them would be able to tolerate it. The trainer should notice that and train differently if so. Some trainers just go one way and that is it
