Related: About this forumMy dog is training ME
to fetch .......
We play catch in the living room with her favorite blue ball until it rolls under the couch .... then she gives me the whimper and the sad eye look which is my cue to get the yard stick out and push the ball back out.
I think we're gonna need a bigger ball. (tip of the hat to Roy Scheider in "Jaws"

We have the same situation, and yes, we kneel down to get the ball. Sometimes, thats half the fun.

and you have to do it 10, 12 times!
But she sure enjoys it!

I don't know if dogs care, but sometimes my cats go wild.

The game continues for a while before you have to get after the ones under the couch.
