Difference between my forced fetched dog and my non is my non force fetched will drop ducks about 3 ft away from. My forced fetched will return to heel and not moved until told to release

Yeah my last dog wasnt forced and sometimes she would drop a duck as soon as she climbed out the water. it was aggravating if it was a cripple and i had to climb out the blind to chase it down or possibly lose it in thick cover.

This is essentially what it's all about, having control over your dog.

A dog (lab) retrieves instinctively; however, once you force train him he does it because/when you tell him. It's the way to go imo.

People don't understand how to use pressure. Used correctly, the dog doing "right" turns the pressure off.
