"I have a GRF that is sensitive and I used Evan's SmartFetch - the DVD was extremely helpful. Once I figured out how to help my dog understand pressure and work through it, the rest of our training has gone even smoother than the first part.

Force fetch establishes that fetch is a command, the same way that "sit" is a command - it teaches the dog that "you don't do whatever you want once you grab the bird - you do what I want you to - and that is pick it up and hold it nicely until I take it from you with my hand and command you to drop it." It also means that going out and getting that retrieve object is not optional - whether it's something the dog is used to, or a big fat Canada goose - (something that often causes confusion the 1st time a dog is sent to retrieve).

Force fetching isn't pinching on a dog's ear or toe until it does what you want - it's teaching a dog about "pressure" and when it experiences pressure, compliance with the command is the way to turn off the pressure. Pressure comes in many forms - anyone who uses an e-collar should be familiar with the application of pressure as a teaching/correcting tool. We aren't out there abusing our dogs, quite the contrary - I believe that FF sets the dog up to succeed in much of its future training exercises and is one of the building blocks of formal training.

I encourage you to beg, borrow or buy a copy of the SmartFetch if you have any interest in learning more about the FF process."

A Brief Biography of Author Evan Graham
Evan Graham is a retired professional dog trainer, and ex-paramedic. He now works as a Registered Nurse in a metropolitan hospital. He is married and has four children and nine grandchildren.

He is also a columnist for The Retriever Journal, and has trained and handled many dogs that earned positions on the National Derby List, including five in a single year; one of them being number three with seven wins. At least three of the dogs he trained as a professional became Field Champions. The driving force for his development of the Smartwork method was the belief that one can never know how good any dog is whose Basics were not thorough. As a portion of method refinement, he maintained a strong focus on efficient, effective Basics.
