Input: Hear me out, we play fetch with tennis balls and he loves it, but never wants to give the ball back afterwards.

 The classic man vs dog.

He insists on playing tug with the small ball, which normally ends up with me getting accidentally nipped. 

To counter this, I grab the ball with one hand and casually slip one finger through the open gap between teeth and touch the back of his throat/uvula. 

Immediately he opens and I have the ball in hand. Reducing the time in-between throws from minutes to seconds. 

This does not appear to be causing any pain or discomfort as his tail stays wagging and happy. 

My fiance has told me that I can't do this because it's mean, but I feel as it mutually benefits us as I don't have to fight the ball out and he gets more play time. 

*I know that I could train him to drop the ball, but  this is the immediate situation I am facing.

TLDR; I touch my dogs uvula to get him to give me the ball during fetch.
