One thing most dogs have in common, especially when they’re young, is a love of playing fetch. But why? For dogs, fetch taps into their natural hunting instincts: the chase, the catch and the return. The game also activates the dog's reward system, releasing chemicals that make the experience exciting and satisfying.
