I would read or watch a few videos on force fetch and then go from there. Do you use an e collar---If so I would watch the videos geared toward teaching the method with the collar.
As far as why you would force fetch a dog---
I would say that right now your dog does it because he wants to. What happens when you send your dog for some type of bird that eh does not agree with---Most dogs have problems with dove(because of the ammount of feathers that come off)
Now you are out at a dove field with a dog that wont retrieve your birds. You could try a harsh correction, but more than likely that wont do it---Then you get into the trials and testing where pointing dogs are expected to do 20min water searches.
So I would say that if you are the casual hunter that doesnt trail the dog and is happy with the delievery and blind retireves of your dog then there probally isnt a reason to force fetch the dog. I would say that you are one lucky person to have two dogs that do everything perfect.
