Usually a dog will figure it out with repetition. If you keep throwing a ball it may initially just pick it up off of the ground to bring it back but as it's fetching skills improve it will likely start to try and catch it out of the air. Of course it all depends on the dog breed and the dogs athletic abilities. The more you play fetch with a dog the better they will get at it. Some dog breeds have no instinct or desire to chase or catch anything. Huskies are a good example of this. Most of them will sit and look at you as if to say "you go get it; I'm not going to bother!". Their instinct is to run, not fetch. A Retriever will typically be very good at catching things and bringing them back to you; it is their instinct.
