If anyone has experience with teaching their rabbit tricks, I need help finalizing the "fetch" command.

My rescued bun is super smart. She's learned spin, paw, and walk (on hind legs) in less than a month. Our current trick we are working on it fetch but it's quite difficult.

We're using a wooden spoon as her fetch object. She knows how to pick it up on command. Sometimes she'll fling it, sometimes she'll run around with it, and sometimes she'll just pick it up for a half second. I'm not sure how to make her bring it back though. If I toss it, she knows to go find it and pick it up, but how can I teach her to bring it back? I've been trying to up her standards (only reward her when she flings it or runs around with it) but this just results in her getting frustrated.

If anyone has suggestions, it would be much appreciated! This is her hardest trick up to date.
