My dog wont play fetch right!

I live 2 blocks from a park so I like to take my dog there to run around n shit. But this little fucker doesnt play fetch right. I will throw a tennis ball like 50 yards and he will run and grab it and run back to me but he wont drop it. He just runs around me like an asshole and wont drop the ball
Then today I had the plan of bringing 2 balls so when he wont drop the first one I can just throw the second one and he will run and get that. Well the problem with that is when I threw the second ball he didnt drop the first ball and brought it with him to the second ball! So he ends up dropping the first ball where I threw the second ball so now I have to walk all the way over there and pick it up. As Im doing this he is giving me this look like "Yeah, you go and get that ball yourself" with his punk ass dog eyes.
Anyone know how I can get this retard of a dog to play fecth the right way?

Try giving him a treat to drop the ball, he will figure it out eventually. If that doesn't work just put him down and get a new dog.

How old is the dog? It takes dogs a little while to figure out what you are trying to get them to do. Once they understand it, they are generally overjoyed to do what you want.

I'm not Sheekle lol
But yeah this dog is 9 years old so he should know how to play fetch by now. But if I give him a treat every time then his fat ass will just stay fat. The whole point of me taking him to play fetch is so he gets exercise

You should try it with a stick so you can beat him with it if he won't do it right. who the hell raised this dog anyways. Maybe you should beat them with the stick.

Can you trade him for a rescue dog that isn't broken?

Your dog is not the retard, you are. You don't give him a treat every single time, just the first few times until he gets it. You are walking over to pick up the ball which is showing him that he dominates you and if he feels like the alpha dog or pack leader he isn't going to listen to you.
