First thing to note is the number of dogs doesn't mimic real life where they would be returned in a loop - they immediately reappear at the start- so in your model there are 10 dogs.

Second is that the dognumbers are descending so they go from 10 to 1. In your model you only have number 1 so every 10th dog collects the item.

Attached is a model where I've numbered them 10 to 1 to match the conveyor. I've also printed to the console the dognumber and item number as each dog is evaluated
