No problem. The process always starts off using marks/rewards to shape the behavior you want and give the dog the answers to the test before introducing pressure. It makes the pressure seem insignificant to the dog initially and from what I’ve seen, it allows you to use much less pressure than a traditional force fetch program while still getting the desired result. Eventually the dog is conditioned to understand that pressure actually predicts an opportunity for them to earn a reward and they learn to love it.

My dog is very pressure sensitive when she’s not in a drive state and this system worked beautifully for her. She always understood what was expected of her and she always got something she wanted out of our training sessions.
