Automatic Dog Ball Launcher - Rechargeable Tennis Ball Thrower for Big/Medium-Sized Dogs - Remote Control - 3 Balls (2.5 inches) - Indoor/Outdoor Toy

My big girl plays ball all day long whether you want to or not. Lol! She is a Rottweiler/German Shepherd Mix, so she is extremely intelligent and loves to play all the time. We use it inside so I just aim it where it won't break anything. It works with any 2.5 inch tennis ball. She learned how to load it herself the first day, but sometimes she brings it to me to load for her. She absolutely loves it. We have 2 other dogs a mini dachshund who is older and just kinda does what she wants, so sometimes she chases them. The other one is a rescued deer head chihuahua, so I have to load them for her of course. She loves to run and get them and I was finally able to get her to bring them back to me most of the time anyway. I was able to teach them to takes turns, so that works out really well. Any dog that loves to play will love this! I taught my big girl not to destroy her toys or balls, but I know that's could be an issue, so I recommend only getting out a few balls at a time while playing with them and putting them away right after. That way it is always a treat to play with! I am extremely happy with my purchase!!!

My dog loves this thing. Unfortunately, it is very cheaply made. Unlike a lot of other ball launchers, it has a bar that goes back and forth, pushing the tennis ball into the launch wheels. It died on me after 2 months of normal use. The pushing bar will work one time, then stick until the machine is cycled off and back on. I took it apart to see if it was something simple to repair myself, and inside this giant piece of plastic is just three Radio Shack-style cheap motors. It could easily have been a quarter of the size for what's inside this thing. The switch to move the bar is open metal, cheaply made and exposed to holes from the wheels that quickly accumulate fuzz from the tennis balls, pretty much guaranteeing a quick death.

I loved it because I have a bum shoulder so I can't throw the ball. My dogs loved it too. But one roller stoped working so it only shoots balls on low speed so they stand in front of it to catch the ball. Would be great it you could take the unit apart to clean it really good. Unfortunately I had to send it back because 200.00 bucks it alot of money to spend when only one roller is working. Would love to buy it again if they made the inside cleanable. I definitely miss this ball launcher.

We have a 1 yo Golden and she loves this! The launcher will send a regular sized tennis ball well over 50 feet. This gets her exercise she loves several times a day. There are 3 minor issues I have encountered - 1 - we also have a 6 month old golden that still loves to chew... and the power adapter for the machine sacrificed itself for him. When I contaced the factory (in China) - the response was unintelligible and the e-mail address provided for further communication was removed (for safety purposes) by Amazon... 2 - the battery/plug in power seems backwards to me somehow - Press the button for plug in and toggle the switch for battery.. 3 - he LEDs that let you know what power level you're on has four settings and 3 lights -so they double up with the 4th setting - odd. Make sure to save the instructions they provide in case of a power outage so you have a bit of paper to start a fire with. - so 4 - not 3 - minor issues - overall I can't see anything really wrong with the performance of the machine - it works great. PS - The wetter the balls (either rain or slobber) the shorter the distance I have a tiny bucket o balls and by the time she has gone thru it 2 times she needs a rest anyway - so not really an issue.

I have a border collie so he's obsessed with fetch. He loved this thing. However, the lever that gets pushed down when the ball enters the launch area does not come back up. It is cleaned very frequently. It launched the ball pretty good until then. Not worth 200 bucks for less than two weeks of play.

I was a little weary purchasing this as a competitor product was mentioned as being the top rated one and had way more reviews. But i am glad i got this one instead. The square design seems to be more stable. Quality is nice. Doesn't feel cheap at all. The area for the dog to drop the ball in is larger, so that makes it easier. The way it pauses for a few seconds before launching is the main reason i chose it. I wanted time for the dog to get set an ready to go get ahead. It gives them a little break. Its only a second or two. So far no issues with the launcher. It may have a misfire or two but that's to be expected. I can use tennis balls or rubber balls that are 2.5. Tried both works great. Although, I haven't mastered the remote yet. Haven't used the remote but once. My dog loves this. So glad i got it for her. It gives this Mommy a break. lol Only Cons i could see is the launcher is a little loud for small dogs. But once you realize what the noise is they should be fine. It didn't scare my dog at all. She is a Mini Aussie. Loved that it came with a bag and remote.

If you read all the features and details and believe them, you would have a nice unit to play, Fetch with your dog and for them to play fetch by themselves. UNFORTUNATELY, THE UNIT HAS MANY FLAWS IF YOU RE-SEARCH THE WEB YOU’LL FIND OUT HUNDREDS MAYBE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE BATTERY NOT LASTING NEARLY WHAT THEY ADVERTISE AND MANY MANY MANY COMPLAINTS OF THE BATTERY DOESN’T WORK AT ALL EVEN THOUGH THE LIGHT SAYS IT’S CHARGED ACCORDING TO THEIR INSTRUCTIONS. Mine the battery went from launching about eight balls the first day or first charge to two balls then no balls. The battery would not hold a charge or even charge. I contacted the seller who said the battery could be replaced, but didn’t offer to replace it. Didn’t answer most questions and they suggested we turn the unit so it was returned. I got got to mention to use the remote you have to have a clear line of sight within 7 feet of the unit. Another touted feature they used $2 parts to support. It turns out the battery pack is so small 11.1 volts 2600man cells. (About the size of 3 AA batteries) talk about being cheap it’s a $10-$15 battery so the manufacturer maybe had $4 in it and it’s supposed to launch about 250 balls per charge! Touted as a key feature of this unit’s capabilities. Portable take it anywhere, I guess if you use it for a cup holder. For $200 this is a waste of your money. Until the flaws are upgraded these are not worth anything for which it’s intended

Upsated to 5 star because they sent a replacement right out and it has been working non-stop Dog loves the device and it was great when it worked. Just finally got my dog trained to play with it on his own about a week ago and now it just does a short spin up and turns off. Again when it works the product is awesome as it is one of the only ones that is both battery powered and plugin. Lowest two levels are perfect for indoor use.

Expensive - yes. Best dog investment ever - yes! Well worth the money as my 2 year old cockapoo absolutely loses himself over it. He was a little confused about it on the first try but as soon as he saw it in action he was hooked. Really sturdy unit which is quite big but light. Easy functions and comes with a remote. It can be used plugged in or you can charge it up to take outside. The sound is not too loud like others on the market (from researching) and as soon as my dog hears the high pitch noise just before the ball is spat out, he gets super excited. It comes with 2 normal sized tennis balls, a rope ball and a sponge ball. All work perfectly through it. The range is good (pretty powerful actually). We have used it inside as well. I’ve put it away and my dog keeps hovering around it as he doesn’t want to stop! A definite recommend for any ball obsessed dog

Meine Terrier lieben es.

Sorry this was disappointing it says 40 feet your lucky if it went 20 ft at a push

I will be keeping this but I am very disappointed in the quality considering the price! It feels cheap and the balls are useless. My dog had broken 1 in minutes. The good thing is you can use proper tennis balls. I won't be buying the Idogmate ones as recommended. Wouldn't buy again at that price.

This is the second one we have received and ONCE again it stoipped working after only 3 days!! The problem is the trigger sticks and the machine then just runs and runs! Its impossible to clean the trigger and its also impossible to contact the supplier. Tried to send an email but their email address has expired - which rings alarm bells!!! We are returning this to Amazon and looking for a better product!!
