Why you'll love it
Made for happy, healthy pets
For the dog that never tires first
Collies, spaniels and terriers will fetch long past the point where a person wants to keep throwing. A machine removes the human bottleneck, which matters most on the days when a proper walk is not going to happen and the energy has to go somewhere.
Teaching the machine, not just using it
The real trick is the return. Most dogs work out the drop within a session or two because the reward is immediate and mechanical, and dogs that learn to load it themselves get an activity they can start without you, which is where the anxiety benefit actually comes from.
Why the sensor matters
A tennis ball leaving at nine metres carries enough speed to hurt at close range. The infrared cut-off across a 110 degree arc means an over-eager dog standing at the muzzle stops the launch rather than taking it in the face.

Good questions
Before you buy
Most learn to, and that is the point at which it becomes genuinely useful. Drop the ball in the top hole yourself for the first few rounds so the sequence is obvious, then wait. Dogs that already have a reliable drop usually get there inside a couple of sessions.
Only if they measure 4.8 to 5cm across, which is smaller than a standard sports tennis ball. Anything larger jams the chamber and anything smaller falls through without launching. Use the six supplied and replace them with the same size.
On the 3m setting, in a room with space behind the landing point and nothing breakable in the line. The 6m and 9m settings are garden and park distances.
No. The launcher is disabled on the cable by design, so plan around the four-hour charge rather than leaving it plugged in during play.
Break every fifteen to twenty minutes. A machine will happily out-last a dog's joints, and fetch on repeat is harder on shoulders and hips than the same time spent walking. The stopping is your job, not the launcher's.
