Which type of dog ball launcher you choose is very much dependent on how much effort you want to exert when playing fetch with your mutt! Manual launchers For dogs that wear a harness they would need to be worn over the coat.Breed Examples For Coat Length If you want to play ball games in more places than just down the park, you may want to consider a launcher which can also work in enclosed spaces.

If desiring an automatic dog ball launcher, you’re going to have a very tough decision to make when considering power sources. Do you want the ease of being able to take you launcher everywhere with battery power? Or do you want the cost-efficient choice of a plug-in powered model if it will only be used at home? Ball size A relatively new invention for dogs, automatic launchers are very much in the mould of a tennis ball machine, allowing your dog to feed a ball into the device and then have it automatically fire it into the distance. Which of course, means you don’t have to do anything at all! However, teaching your dog this self-serving skill may take time and due to the technology on show here, they often cost far more than any other type of launcher. They’re also perhaps not the greatest for taking down the park and work better as an indoor toy or garden activity. Features to consider Effort exertionDog ball launchers are great because you can suddenly throw more than one metre. They aren’t so great because they are so long and cumbersome, though.

Dog’s love playing fetch with someone who can really help them put in the yards, so a launcher that can seriously fire or fling a ball to frightening distances should always be a priority. Some automatic models also have the option to change distances and angles, meaning you can please multiple dogs and perhaps avoid them running off in a direction they shouldn’t! Power sources Almost all dog ball launchers use the average tennis ball as their model, but this isn’t necessarily ideal for small breed dogs. For dinky dogs, try and find a launcher which utilises smaller sizes of ball, as they need to be able to get their chops around it! Opposingly, you also need to be careful you don’t buy balls and launchers which are too small for your dog, as they could swallow or get smaller balls lodged in their mouth or throat! Indoor & outdoor suitability You also get a free ball with the thrower. If your dog is anything like our office dogs, they will end up getting bored and leave it in the field never to be found again, but if not then we can safely say it is great quality so should last them for months. Semi-automatic models are so-called because they require you to activate them with the press of a button– but the launching action itself is done without you exerting any effort! These are more often than not ball-blasting guns designs, making them most popular with children and families who enjoy making dog walks a fun, altogether activity. They also provide quite a fair bit of range at just the pull of a trigger! Automatic launchers It’s only fitting then that their dog ball launchers are just as hard-wearing and high-quality, with ergonomic rubber handles for comfort and grip, as well as a flexible plastic design for longer-lasting flinging action!
