Hey there, You can fix a hard mouth but it will take some work. I would work on force fetch all over again (get Evan Graham's Smartfetch). Start at 'hold' and demand that hold is hold with NO chewing and mouthing. His hard mouth may be hiw way of avoiding the pressure of the retrieve so make force fetch as positive and progressive as possible, but also AWLAYS finish a session with you winning and getting him to do what you want with no mouthing. The Evan Graham book goes into wonderful detail about force fetch and how to progress through it and why it's done. I hope this helps!
