From the research that I have been doing, force fetch seems to be what I was finding that would help out the situation. I will let you guys know how everything works out. Thanks again!
Please take your time and make sure that your dog is ready for force fetch. The foundations of "puppy" work and great obedience must be in place, along with collar conditioning, before you start force fetching. BTW I prefer the ear pinch method because it allows you to keep control of their head when the pressure is on and you can do it on the ground instead of on a table, like the toe and string requires you to do.
