Force Fetching rate of progress
Those of you out their who have ff'd your dogs, how much progress did you make in the first three days? Drake is doing really well in my eyes, how were your dogs? Please comment
A dog is only as good as his trainer.
Re: Force Fetching rate of progress
I hope no one is keeping track. I mean that simply to say each dog is different. A case study in the book SmartFetch outlined one dog, to which the book is dedicated, took 8 weeks just to get her reaching for a bumper. The day I was going to call the owner and wash her out, she broke through. She earned 17 Derby poionts and was QAA. You just don't know with any of them until you give them a chance.labman21 wrote:Those of you out their who have ff'd your dogs, how much progress did you make in the first three days?

Above correct- I have had pups who FFed in a few days and latest 18 mos YLM took 3 wks of Very Patient work- and a refresher course about a week ago when he started dropping my dinner at my feet after 2-3 mos of excellent retreives to hand.
