Finally, there’s a video that shows the entire force fetch process.

Watch how a dog that initially wouldn’t retrieve turn into a into a fast, happy and reliable retriever!

The viewer gets to sit-in on the actual training sessions of one dog as he progresses from hold, fetch, transition to the ecollar, transition to the ground, and finally birdwork!  Here’s what others are saying:

"As far as I know, this is the only video to take one dog through the force fetch process from start to finish.  The viewer can see, step by step, just what it takes to get the job done."  (Larry Brown, outdoor writer)

"User-friendly the way it's broken up in segments.  Mark managed to keep it positive and the dog happy.  I would recommend this training video to my friends."  (Rob Butler, owner of Elhew's Sinbad, Swami, and Sunflower)

"This is the best force fetch video that I've ever seen!"  (Lou Gleber, Nujack Kennels)

"I liked the fact that Mark showed a dog from start to finish.  I think that will help others that are just learning to force train.  This DVD will help people come out on top and produce a good reliable retriever."  (Maurice Lindley, Lindley Kennels)

"Impressive!"  (Buddy Smith, Field Trial Hall of Fame Member)

"If a person wants to force fetch their dog, this video is where they should start."  (Joe Worsham, White Dog Productions)

Mark Payton has been bird hunting for nearly 20 years, and he quickly realized that he wanted a "complete" bird dog - one that would point, back AND RETRIEVE!

Mark believes that if a person will select pups from parents who are natural retrievers and if they will properly encourage a natural retrieve, then most dogs will retrieve naturally. Common mistakes made with pups are overdoing it (3-4 retrieves per day is plenty) and not letting the pup hold his "prize" long enough after completing the retrieve (don’t be in a hurry to take the object).

Unfortunately, all pups won’t retrieve naturally. Genetics has a lot to do with it, and Mark knows of one litter where none of 10 pups in the litter retrieved naturally - but neither the sire nor the dam of that litter did either!  For these dogs or for dogs in which the owner wants a more-controlled or more reliable retrieve, force fetching is necessary.

Having force fetched several of his own dogs and dogs for many of his friends, Mark realized that no video to date adequately showed what was truly involved. Videos with dogs that have already been thru the process do not convey to the viewer the dog’s initial reactions to the various stages of the force fetch process. And some critical information (like transitioning to the ground) was either inadequately emphasized or not emphasized at all!

To resolve this, he taped every force fetch session of one dog from start to finish!  He kept the critical, initial reactions to each new phase, and only the redundant sessions (i.e., reinforcing a command already introduced) were not included. So, for the first time the viewer gets to sit in on the actual training sessions as they occur!
