Does your corgi fetch?

Franklin likes to play fetch but he won't play fetch with normal toys. He insists on playing with sticks, rocks, and pine cones. I really want to teach him that fetching a tennis ball is just as fun (if not more fun) than fetching a stick. Has anyone ever taught their reluctant corgi to fetch a ball? I find that fetch is a great outlet for his energy and I just can't throw a stick as far as a ball and he's injured himself a couple of times trying to pick up a stick at a full run and so I'm looking for a safer method of fetch. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!

I think Lando Oliver must have been playing fetch in the uterus.

We have found a great solution. There are a ton of magnolia trees around my apartment complex and they have a long seedpod that Franklin has decided he is absolutely in LOVE with. They dry up nicely into a pine cone type thing that is the perfect size for a chuck-it. My neighbors probably think I'm crazy because I've been out collecting them as they fall from the tree and dry out so I will have plenty since they don't drop year round! Not sure what I'm going to do when he has destroyed them all. I just ended up with a "green" corgi and he won't play fetch with anything not made by Mother Nature.
