Force fetch is hard to someone new to it. Try this please and let me know what it does. Make it fun. Take a defrosted teal and play a game with him with it. Dragging it in front if him getting him excited sayin "get the bird, you want it?, get the bird" while flipping it in front of him. As soon as he grabs it and holds it tap on his bottom jaw and tell him hold but at the same time petting him telling him good boy. It should spark something... If not... Clip the wings and electrical tape them to his bumper for reassurance.. Which I think will help with confidence...... I inherited a dog similar to this and this is how I got him to understand the guidelines of hold. Now that he knows that, force fetch will be much easier. Imo
