Zoey plays fetch if I only have 1 ball but I usually have 10-15 balls outback and just keep hitting them back and forth, drains her energy faster since she's a Mali, although she is still ready to run a marathon afterwards lol I trained her to retrieve the ball run it back to me and while I hit the other ball, she drops her ball mid run and it ends up somewhat near me lol

How's her ball drive? I would start back at the basics and teach some stay and come with treats. Then incorporate the ball into that.
