Nerf Dog Tennis Ball Blaster for Small Dogs and Puppies

Product Information

Playing with your dog has never been easier thanks to NERF. Is a NERF dog gun safe for boisterous dogs? The Nerf Dog Storm Launcher arrives ready to use, the ball already inserted into the cannon part so all you need to do is put the launcher onto the ground and stomp on it with your foot. Sounds easy? In theory absolutely! In practice, well it works….but our faces must have been a picture, a rather disappointed one sadly. Indoor vs. Outdoor Use —Be sure to picture where you intend to use the ball launcher with your best buddy. Indoor ball launchers may need to be compatible with softer toys, for example, or have shorter preset launch distances for automatic launchers. Outdoor areas should be fenced-in and private so that your pooch can focus on chasing after the ball rather than the neighborhood cat or squirrel. If you plan on playing with your pooch and the launcher inside, make sure there isn’t anything out that could break during play sessions. There are mini and max versions to suit the size of dog, and both range of launching distance and the ball size varies with each machine.

Well it works and launches the ball, but we did expect it to go further. At best this launches a ball at 6 to 7 metres, but then the ball does bounce or continue to roll adding some distance. From specially designed poly-cotton infill in the chew toys in this range to the triple nylon stitching and non-toxic plastics, all our throwing toys are hard-wearing and safe. 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 exertion Reviewers like that the ball launcher stays charged for a long time when running on the provided batteries (an AC adapter is also included) and note that the remote can be a little confusing to understand in the beginning. But if you have the patience and extra budget, this clever machine can be a great investment for fetch enthusiasts. Remote Control —Having the option to control your automatic launcher remotely is great for keeping your pooch entertained from a distance. You should still supervise your dog while playing with an automatic launcher, but it’s a bit easier if you can adjust the settings from your smartphone rather than having to walk over to the actual unit.

Top 5 Ball Launchers for Dogs

The Hyper Pet dog ball launcher is designed to launch tennis balls without straining your arms. How?

One of the great benefits of auto ball launchers is the ability to play with your dog by dropping the ball into the device or letting them play independently. Considerations before Buying a Ball Thrower Dog Size Yes! All dogs love to play, and that’s why toys have such a key role in their development as a puppy, and their general happiness and well-being as adult dogs. Whether they love fetching tennis balls all day at the park or prefer a good, old-fashioned tug-of-war against their two-legged friends in the living room, playtime can help to ensure your hound stays fit and healthy. Both in their body and their mind.NERF understands the importance of toys in a dog’s life. Not only do NERF dog ball throwing toys satisfy your pooch’s curious mind, but NERF's innovative and experimental designs will change the way your dog exercises. Depending on your pup’s athleticism and the size of your playing area, you can choose a launcher that can catapult a ball as short as just a few feet or as far as maybe 50 or 60 feet. Reviewers caution, however, that few of these launchers consistently deliver the maximum distance, and often the condition of the ball (wet and dirty) can make it fly less far. Many dogs simply can’t get enough of chasing after a ball. While this is an excellent form of exercise and entertainment for your furry friend, a prolonged game of fetch can get exhausting for the human! Next on our list is the Max Launcher, a uniquely designed ball AND disc launcher. While the price is a bit more than the K-9 Kannon or Nerf Blaster, it makes up for it by having the ability to use both tennis balls and frisbees. We’ve rounded up our favorite automatic fetch machines so you can find the right fit for your fetch-loving friend.

There’s a lot of variability with this auto ball launcher as you choose how far the ball goes and how far it goes up in the air. You can set it for nine different distances and six different angles, which all affect where the ball is thrown. There are training sounds to let your pup know that a ball is about to be tossed so he can be ready to run. We especially like the motion sensor in the front that protects people or pets that are standing as far as 7 feet in front of the launch area.
