I'd say it's much simpler than that. In nature things don't fly across the ground unless they're alive, prey. So a ball or stick flying/rolling across the ground mostly immitates a small prey animal. I believe that is what our training is nurturing. I have a jack russel and she is genetically predisposed to hunting after small things.
