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

Maybe some can explain better but FF is the act of training a dog to hold a reterive until told to drop. It also teaches the dog that retrieving is not a game but a command that must be obeyed. To have a dog that is good with blind retervies FF must be done. Also and most importantly FF separates the back yard dogs from the field trial and the dogs that people brag about. I know still vague.
It's a long process don't worry about your dog
