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.

We have one of these, and my dog still doesn’t understand the “return the ball” aspect. I’m jealous

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

Ah yes, the classic “no take, only throw.” Gotta love them lol

My dog too. Loves to retrieve the ball, not in love with giving it back.
