We are progressing at a pretty good pace with our 2 year old Labrador Retriever, and he has made it to the first of two milestones in our force fetch training procedure. The first milestone is when the dog has been released from a fixed position and is allowed to move up and down the table on a moving tether while picking up the buck from either your hand or the table depending on what stage the dog has reached.  This is the milestone that we are focusing on in this training video.  By the way, there is not a set time period on how long it should take to make it to this milestone or how long it is going to take until you reach the next milestone.  The next milestone is to take the dog off of the table and transferring the table work to the ground with what is known as walking fetch. The walking fetch training will be in an upcoming video.

Force fetch training is one of the cornerstones of having a non-slip retriever and great game delivery service.  We use the toe-pinch method to teach the dog to pickup (fetch) and hold objects.  This method in my opinion causes the least stress to the dog and gives the trainer an ability to keep building the dogs confidence.
