My 2yr westie plays with it every waken moment of her day
My 2 yr old westie is a high energy big attitude pup. She has over 50toys But by far tennis balls are her favorite. She doesn’t do fetch(I meant she doesn’t bring it back), even though we have tried and tried. It’s like that’s against her DNA since she is bred to hunt and kill small rodents. She absolutely loves this thing and plays with it the second she wakes up until night fall. Because how much she loves it, she is willing to bring the ball close enough to the machine. I love watching her anticipate the ball launch. Her tail goes from wagging to pin straight the last second(westie trait when they are focusing). She still likes to stare right into the laughing hole which she has been slap in the face by the ball couple times. She approves it for sure, now let’s talk about the machine.I like it has storage for 2 more balls in the machine. I haven’t tried using battery but it is a good feature. Machine also has remote which I love so much. I can turn it on and off and also mix settings without moving. I love you can choose settings and mix them too. I know people complain about setting 1 is weak, but you also need to know this machine is designed for all dogs different shape and sizes. Setting 3 is strong it is perfect for medium to larger dog. I don’t understand why there people complain it isn’t far enough. Setting 3 is at least 40 feet anymore it would break a window. My 15lbs westie like setting 2 and 3 but that’s the only one they don’t have a mixed setting for. No biggy! It hasn’t jammed any since we have been playing 4-5hrs a day for 3 days now. The 3 tennis balls came with are poor quality, my pup “skinned” all of them the first day. I bought her another set of 15 for $16 and they are wonderful. This machine shoots mini tennis balls so it’s designed more for small to medium dogs(of course unless your Great Dane likes mini tennis balls). I can’t see myself buying a one shoots regular size because it would probably take her eyeballs out since she likes to stare into the hole. Yes, she tried to skin the mini tennis ball but it’s corrective behavior you just need to tell them no. Plus only use 2-3 balls at a time and so far they are holding up. She has torn up a $10 toy in 15 mins so it’s not that “unaffordable”. Overall it brings me and her joy plus she is getting great exercise when it’s 105F outside. I don’t have any complains.

bucket area too small. Slight titles turns it on. The orange balls are brittle and break easy.
The machine itself is great but the little tennis balls are a joke. They break and fall apart within 10 minutes of use. My dog is only 38lbs and she would squeeze the ball as she ran back, nothing overly aggressive and they would break like the plastic was brittle and the fuzzy outside came unglued and was a choking hazard. If you buy get the yellow balls as they are more durable.

Love this product. Dog’s favorite toy.
UPDATE: Dog has figured it out and uses it all the time. Recently, the hopper switch was sticking. An email to support was promptly returned with instructions on how to get the back panel off and an offer to replace the broken part even though I told them it was past the warranty period. Turns out a random staple got into it and stuck to the magnetic switch. 10 minutes and good as new, thanks to very prompt customer support. I’d up my review to 6 stars if I could.UPDATE: Dog’s finally learned how to use it by himself. He loves it. We love it. Need to find balls that he doesn’t pick apart though.As far as the product, we’re happy with it. It well-built and does exactly what it’s supposed to do. It throws the advertised distance. The remote works. The battery works. However, the balls are not 1.75″ as advertised. They are closer to 1 1/2 – 1 5/8. Not a big deal, but be aware when buying additional balls. 1.8″ balls will not fit. Once the balls are a bit used, they don’t fly as far, but it’s been OK enough. The height is right for a small dog. I’d recommend it to a potential buyer.We have a mini poodle mix that cannot get enough of playing fetch. At first he was a little intimidated by the noise – it’s not loud, but there is a whirring sound as the wheels spin up. He got over that quickly and now knows the noise means the ball is about to go. Took him a while to put the ball in the bucket himself rather than try to get us to do it for him. Not a strike against the product, but it’s a little frustrating until the dog catches on. Fun to watch him play with it afterward.

It is limited by the size of the ball channel
I read mostly positive reviews about this product and bought it based on those. One negative review did mention the ball size problem, but I thought I could figure out a solution. I was wrong. The ball channel for this device cannot take a ball larger than 1.75 inches. You can force a soft 2-inch ball in with your fingers, but that defeats the purpose of having it. The launcher comes with 2 tennis style balls and 1 foam ball. The tennis balls didn’t last a day. The felt started peeling from almost the second trip through as a result of a combination of the machine and my dog’s saliva. The foam ball may still be intact, but my dog lost it, so I don’t know. Most balls in stores (Nerf, Kong) are two inches in diameter, so they don’t just drop in the channel like the balls that come with it.I tried a handball since it is 1.75 inches and more durable, and it fit in the channel, but it is rigid rubber with very little give, so it jams in the wheels. My subsequent searches reveal the only balls that will fit are the ones sold by idogmate and they are not worth the postage much less the price.I would love to give this a higher review. My dog learned how to fetch and reload the machine on his own very quickly. He still tries to drop his ball into the channel, but as I said, it won’t fit.Another issue is that the wheels get gummed up with dog spit, fur (shedding), and felt really quickly, and it is a bear to clean it.

The launcher is a clever machine and is well constructed. We had hoped that our dog would learn to put the ball in on her own and we would not be needed to “feed” it. Unfortunately she didn’t. I also bought one for my daughter and her dog but although her dog is intelligent she failed to learn how to put the ball in. We can use the launcher indoors and in the garden. We like it.

The balls are too small and a choking hazard

I have a Bengal cat that’s loves to play ball and brings it back. Yes you heard right. I bought this so he can chase the ball himself while I’m at work. He just loves it. And it’s just the right size for a cat.
