As promised, following the force fetch process, there is a substantial process through which a dog is taken which results in an enthusiastic and effective handling dog.  They can run blind retrieves or be handled successfully on marks, when they really understand what you are asking, and you have their full buy-in.   This episode begins with the first step past a good force fetch, the beginning of pile work.  Though it may seem trivial to us, for a dog to learn to repeatedly go get something they already got, the response can be difficult to get across.  We break it down into the smallest step to ensure the dog does 'get' what you are trying to do.
