Then the dog needs solid obedience and then force fetching which if done correctly collar conditioning would come after obedience then followed by FF. Does your trainer have a force fetch table? What method does he use for force fetching? Ear or toe pinch? Followed by stick and collar fetch. Did he show you the procedure with another dog in training? All questions to ask before hand. One of the best pointing dog trainers in the country is in your state.So I wanted fetch. He was there for 2 months total. He pointed well but wouldn’t retrieve so all I really wanted was retrieve. Everything kinda went from there. I think a lot of the issues I face is I’m from Pa. not a whole lot of hunting dog trainers in eastern Pa
