Recall - Force Fetch Series #1 | Is Force Fetch Right for You? The Process, Benefits, and Misconceptions

from Gun Dog It Yourself · host Nick Adair

"How do I fix our retrieve?" --It seems many people are shifting back into a training mindset as there's been a recent increase in questions about force fetch. GOOD NEWS! A couple of years ago I compiled an entire series breaking down each component to Force Fetch from various experienced trainers. --------------------This isn't just about making your dog retrieve; it's about teaching them how to learn, creating a deeper bond, and building unwavering reliability. Whether your dog is a natural retriever or not, force fetch formalizes the entire process, addressing issues like hard mouths and lack of consistent hand-offs. It's a step-by-step program, like reading a picture book, and each step is essential for long-term success. By using various objects, you're helping your dog generalize the skill and build confidence, not to mention learn how to turn off pressure. So, if you're looking to take your dog's training to the next level, this episode will show you the "why" behind the process, and help you better understand how to work with your dog, whether you're just starting out, or looking to improve what you already have.00:03:56 - Defining Force Fetch00:05:51 - Benefits for Dogs with Natural Retrieve00:10:07 - The Importance of Each Step00:13:33 - Preparing for Force Fetch00:17:37 - Finding the "Problem Object"00:20:10 - Helping, Not Forcing00:21:09 - Creative Training Table Options00:27:09 - Common Misunderstandings00:31:50 - Importance of Command Selection00:48:13 - Intangible Benefits--------------------Presented By: Standing Stone Supply | Check out their step by step Online Courses and Use Code 'GDIY' to save 15% onX Hunt Maps | Use Code 'GDIY20' to save 20% Upland Gun Company | Check out their online gun builder and construct your dream gun today!
