My dog digs and chews his frisbee. How do I get him to retrieve it?

Question

When my dog and I try to play fetch he takes his frisbee and digs at it and chews on it and doesn't bring it back. No matter how much I call him and try to get him to come. He digs on top of the frisbee but hes not trying to Barry it, hes just trying to move dirt. I can't break him from this. He fetches with his ball just fine it's just his frisbee. Why does he do this and how can I get him to stop. Pet's info: Dog | Dachshund | Male | neutered | 7 years and 6 months old | 16 lbs

It's important to remember that dogs are individuals with different likes, dislikes and quirks. Not every behavior can be trained out. Try having two frisbees. This may encourage him to bring back his current frisbee so that you will throw the second one. Make sure praise and reward him for any positive behavior. Please feel free to post any additional questions.
