My dog solved this issue by fetching the ball, laying down at least 10 meters away from me and guard the ball if we attempt to retrieve it.
She’s not a very playful dog.
My golden doodle loves to play chase, not fetch but chase, with her tennis balls and any toy really
I would upload an image but voyager isn’t letting me right now
No throw, only take?
Maybe the person is just clumsy

Meanwhile, my terrier mix: come on, throw it. Throw the toy. I want you to throw it. Throw it. Come on just throw it. HERE it’s in your hand now, so THROW IT
and he will start waving his paw around like he’s making a petting motion, posed in a “I’m ready to run” stance.
Also he has managed to figure out if he holds a toy under one paw, and smacks it to the opposite side with his other paw, he can fling it up to 10ft, but usually just does it to toss it at our faces if we don’t throw it quick enough.
