Automatic Dog Ball Launcher

An automatic ball launcher that lets dogs play fetch on their own, indoors or in the garden.

Fetch is one of the best ways to tire out a high-energy dog, but few owners have the time, or the throwing arm, to keep it going for as long as the dog would like. A launcher keeps the game going after your arm has had enough, giving dogs that live for repetition — retrievers, working breeds, terriers — an outlet that doesn't depend on you being free to play.

The launcher holds a ball and releases it at one of several distance settings, so you can match the throw to the size of your garden or room. Most dogs learn to drop the ball back into the intake for another go, which is what makes it usable without you standing over it the whole time. It runs on rechargeable batteries, so there's no cable trailing across the lawn.

Can I use it indoors? Yes, on the shortest distance setting it suits a hallway or living room; longer settings are better kept for a garden.

Will my dog use it without being shown how? Most dogs need a few sessions to learn to drop the ball back into the intake rather than run off with it, so expect a short training-in period.

What balls does it use? It's built around its own launcher balls rather than standard tennis balls, so use the ones sized for it for reliable results.

Is it safe to leave running while I'm not in the room? No — treat it as a supervised toy, the same as any game of fetch, so you're on hand if the ball gets stuck or rolls somewhere awkward.
