Force Fetch

Develop a dependable retrieve from pickup to delivery. Our Force Fetch program teaches your dog to hold, carry, pick up, and deliver to hand, building consistency throughout the retrieve. Training typically lasts about one month, with the duration based on your dog’s progress.

Minimum age: 6 months, with adult teeth fully in.

Intake & Care

• Please bring your dog’s regular food for the duration of training. Food supplied by ALACIE costs an additional $4 per day, per dog.
• Required vaccinations include Rabies, DHPP/DAPP, and Bordetella.
• All breeds are considered, subject to temperament and suitability for training. Aggressive dogs are not accepted.
• Provide your preferred drop-off and pickup dates when requesting training. Your booking is confirmed only after ALACIE approves it.

Training & Going Home

• Progress toward a consistent hold, pickup, carry, and delivery to hand varies by dog. Program length depends on your dog’s development.
• If additional training time is recommended, we’ll discuss it with you before extending the stay or adding charges.
• Dogs generally stay for the full booked period. Please contact us directly about special circumstances.
• Visits are available by appointment and should be limited to help maintain a consistent training routine.
• We’ll stay in contact, and you’re welcome to request progress updates. Photos or videos may appear on our social channels; scheduled individual videos are not included.
• An end-of-stay lesson is included and strongly recommended. We’ll demonstrate the commands and handling techniques needed to maintain your dog’s trained retrieve.
• We’ll explain any equipment needed for continued practice at pickup, including e-collar use where applicable, with recommendations tailored to your dog.
