| Two things to try - have a treat in your hand when he returns, say trade and swap the treat for the ball. My past friend was so ball possessive he would gather them up in a pile next to his bed before sleeping. The only thing that worked with him was to work with two balls. When he returned to me I would show the one in my hand he would drop his and I'd throw the other. Problem was if he got both I had to have a third ! |
