Dogs love playing balls. Even if the owner gets tired of throwing the ball, there is a child who holds the ball in his mouth and makes his eyes sparkle and urges him to "throw the ball", right?

In such a case, the "Automatic Ball Launcher" developed by PetSafe is convenient. It is a tool that throws a tennis ball on behalf of the owner.

The point is that when the dog returns the ball to the "Automatic Ball Launcher", it will automatically launch the next ball. The owner can let the dog play the ball without doing anything.

The throwing distance can be set in 9 steps from 2 meters 40 cm to 9 meters, and the firing angle can be set in 6 steps. You can change the settings according to your dog's familiarity with ball play and the size of your body. There is also a setting to let the dog rest every 15 minutes so that the dog does not get tired.

This product looks attractive to owners who tend to get tired of playing with puppies who have endless physical strength no matter how much they play. However, getting the ball back into the "Automatic Ball Launcher" can be difficult for some dogs. The dog I used to keep did never do it when I added the ball.

I'd like PetSafe to develop a tool that automatically does the discipline around that ... That's impossible.
