Hi,
I Have a Labrador I also have a German Shepherd.
I had the same problem , but with my German shepherd.
If you chase a dog it thinks you are playing.
The more you chase the more she will run.
Then gets confused when you try to tell her off.
Hence she hides.
I ended the problem by not chasing but calling her.
Giving her a treat ,telling her she was a good girl.
While another member of the family picked up the item.
Having trained both dogs they are SO different.
A German shepherd you have to command .
A Labrador you ask to do things.
I soon learned a Labrador does better with softly softly approach.
Good luck.
