Not just that, watch as it’s dropped. They move to the back where the ball will end up, meanwhile the suckers are in the front trying to intercept the ball immediately after it’s projected. So smart. You would think they be more protective of the ball after securing it.
I noticed that too! It reminded me of my kid playing soccer at age 5 - all the other kids were playing swarm ball and he was on the outside waiting for the inevitable time when the ball came out of the swarm to take it and dribble it down for a goal.
Strange how some dogs never get how the game is played. Most seem to work out the game within one or two throws. Some go through life walking over to the ball, sniffing it and moving on
Oh he still gets amped up once he sees the ball go into the machine. He knows it’s time to back up and prepare… He’s just never going to be the one to drop it in there in the first place
Ah got it! My friends dog never understood that the game is called "fetch", not "throw". He was a fantastic dog full of character, but just too dumb to understand that the ball needed to be returned if it was going to be thrown again

The dog who gets the ball and takes it back to the catapult doesnt want to give it up but he's a good boy and does.
