The Ball Throwing Debate - Interview With Tanya Sprunks

In this episode of We Love Dogs, I’m joined once again by Tanya Sprunks MPA, BSc (Hons), PgDip, IAAT, an experienced Veterinary Physiotherapist and Canine Arthritis Management (CAM) Advisor, to discuss a topic that might challenge how many of us play with our dogs — ball throwing.
For many dog owners, throwing a ball is one of the most common ways we exercise and entertain our dogs. But what impact does repetitive fetch actually have on their bodies and minds?
In this conversation we explore the physical risks of repeated ball chasing, including the strain it can place on joints, muscles, and ligaments, and how it may contribute to injuries and long-term mobility issues. We also talk about the behavioural side of the game, looking at how high-intensity play can affect a dog’s arousal levels, stress, and ability to switch off.
This is an honest and thought-provoking discussion designed to help owners better understand their dogs’ needs and make more informed choices about exercise and play.
If you’ve ever played fetch with your dog — and most of us have — this episode may change the way you think about it
