Chase-Only Fetch

A form of play in which a dog enthusiastically chases after a thrown object but does not retrieve or return it to the thrower. This behavior taps into the dog’s natural prey drive, particularly the chasing aspect, without completing the full sequence of fetching. While many dogs instinctively enjoy the pursuit, the act of retrieval often requires additional training and reinforcement.

It’s not fetch, it’s cardio. My dog’s out there running Olympic sprints while I stand like a clown waiting for a stick that’s never coming back. Chase-only fetch strikes again.
