Hello, fellow dogs. I need some advice. Every time I play fetch with my human, they keep trying to take the b*ll from me. This is causing me a lot of stress, because I want them to throw the ball for me, not take it away. Sometimes, I'll run away with the b*ll to keep them from taking it, but then they won't throw it. I mean, what's with that behavior? It's so frustrating, and it happens every time we play. I didn't ask, but the c*t said I'm in the wrong here. What do you guys think?

Have you tried whining? It gets the humans' attention pretty well. Also try dropping it near them. If they try to take it instead of throwing it, just grab it and take it away, then try fifty more times.

Have you tried throwing stuff at your human while playing to teach them to throw, not take?

Wait, can you throw? Can you throw for me?!
