teaching the force fetch

How hard is it to teach the force fetch? My husband and I are still very new at training. We sent our first dog away for hunt test training and now we are working with someone experienced in trailing and hunt tests. He usually sends his dogs out for the basics as well. I would like to learn how to do the ff myself. Any tips would be great.

There are several ways to do it. None are hard, but like all training it requires a commitment on your part. Repetition and consistency. I use the ear pinch method most of the time and sometimes the toe pinch. I am sure that you can find good articles on line for both.

Look for Evan Graham's stuff Smart Fetch http://www.rushcreekpress.com/ . Very good easy to understand methods.
