Jokes aside, does anyone know why dogs don't want to drop it for you to throw it again? Like, do they not make the connection? Are they still living off the high from their last catch?

I like to think it's because they have fun keeping the toy away from you, the act of trying to get it away from them is part of the game!

God I love dogs.

Dogs also love to wrestle over the stick/ball/... Think 2 dogs holding onto the same stick with their teeth while growling and pulling as hard as they can, they're having fun.

The dog I grew up with (malamute) would fetch something once and then have you try to get it out of her mouth, which was impossible to win for a human, so you'd have to feign giving up and then she'd drop it. And if you then threw away the object again, she would give you "the look" after which she would saunter off and ignore you. So I'm pretty certain that she didn't like fetching, but she loved wrestling and pulling.
