@tim , if you have two balls , dog runs and picks up one ball , then if dog comes back to slow , raise your arm in the air with the ball
If you have two dogs or if you go out with friend with a ball minded dog
Both dogs in sit / down position
Throw one ball , release dogs
One dog picks up , raise hand with ball ,, then other dog runs back to get ball
I use ball on rope , and let down run and jump up to get
@odbird ,how old is the dog ?
I think ball on rope is better , makes a whistle type of sound when released , my type of ball and rope floats quickly
Can throw at a longer distance and quickly change ball course
I would try not to play ball at home , play ball outside
Buy a new ball outside
When you throw the ball , you can walk backwards, this will make the game more fun for dog and make your own balance better
If the dog drops ball away from you , insist he pick up , I use the phrase “ pick “
With puppies I sometimes sit on the ground for them to bring ball back
After you have finished playing , let the dog carry the ball back to the house or car
When at home , I take the ball from them
