Force fetching a dog is a building block for training a gun or test dog. It should not cause pain to a dog in the process. For me, it’s purpose is to add pressure to a dog and teach him how to handle and turn the pressure off. It is very important that a dog is able to handle pressure and knows how to handle it and not shut down. When I say pressure, I’m not referring to pain. I’m referring to a dog wanting to please and understanding how to communicate.
