Nerf Dog Tennis Ball Blaster Toy,Blue/Orange

Product Information

Keep in mind the Blaster does launch the balls fairly fast, so you want to avoid aiming it near your pet. It’s best for use by large-breed, athletic dogs in flat, open spaces. PetSafe Automatic Ball Launcher Dog Toy The most recognisable style of launcher that most people think of is the manual thrower. These consist of a bendable yet incredibly durable plastic arm thats perfectly weighted to spring balls into the sky in a way most human arms never could. Most ball launchers use standard tennis balls. That’s best for medium to large breeds. However, a standard tennis ball can accidentally injure a small breed. Instead, you’ll want a launcher that uses mini tennis balls. Indoor/Outdoor You have two options. An electric ball launcher launches the ball’s automatically. You adjust settings on a control panel to set the distance, speed, arc, and other factors. Some types hold a reservoir of tennis balls, allowing for automatic operation. They typically run on either disposable or rechargeable batteries. For example, squeaky, glow in the dark balls are great for wintertime fetch here in the UK. Equally, extendable arms are clever inventions for when fetch time is over, as they allow you to slip the retracted thrower in your bag.

Once your dog is actively retrieving launcher-fired balls, you can start teaching him how to return the ball and place it in the launcher. Only use positive reinforcement. Provide praise and a treat when he drops the ball into the machine’s reservoir. Note that you want to keep your play sessions relatively brief. Athletic and working breeds should have about 30 minutes of exercise each day, while smaller breeds should max out at about 15 to 20 minutes daily. Ball Size Most launchers are designed for outdoor use. However, you can find a few indoor launchers. They’re typically made for small breeds.The maximum distance of a ball launcher is important to note, as it gives you the best idea on how effective it'll be when coming up against your jumping ball of built-up energy. While a maximum distance isn't a regular fixture of dog ball launchers, it's always welcomed when it is. 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. Suitability for indoors and outdoors tends to depend on a contraptions launch power, as hoying balls up to 100 feet indoors isn’t exactly a wise idea unless you live in a particularly large home! Price While catapult models have long been on the market, dog ball launchers are now advancing all the time, meaning you can play fetch with a firearm or avoid playing altogether thanks to handy automatic, interactive toys! While the max distance is the best way of understanding a dog ball launcher in all its soaring glory, when dealing with throwers, it's not always so simple. You'll notice some brands prefer to label their throwers as 'mini' or for small dogs specifically. While a ball launcher is simple to use, finding the best one for your pup isn’t always so easy. You need to consider the launcher type, it’s features, your dog’s breed and traits, and much more. Fortunately, even if you don’t know much about ball throwing toys, we’re here to help.

Unfortunately, not everyone is born an athlete. So for those of us who throw like a toddler on a bad day, we’re often a huge disappointment to our dogs. But a dog ball launcher could change all of that. Here are the answers to the most common questions about dog ball launchers. What are the Different Types of Dog Ball Launchers?Have you always liked the idea of a ball launcher, but been put off by their cumbersome nature? If that sounds a little bit like you, then Hyper Pet have the perfect thrower for you! The Throw-Go Ball can be retracted for a bag-friendly handle size, and just as easily, it can be set to two defined arm lengths for better distance control. Regardless of your dog’s size and breed, you want a launcher that allows for variable launch distances. Some handheld launchers have settings, although the distance the ball goes is mainly controlled by how you throw. If you’re looking for an automatic ball launcher, this option from PetSafe has a lot to like. It’s easy-to-use, well-made, and includes a variety of safety features. With an adjustable distance setting, the All for Paws is ideal for customising to yourself and your dog’s personal needs. At choices of 10ft, 20ft or 30ft launch power, you can help it appeal to both young and energetic or old and injured dogs, while also making it an indoors-safe toy should you want to use it in enclosed spaces! Finally, make sure the ball isn’t too big for the dog. Use mini tennis balls for small and toy breeds. All it takes is one erratic bounce for a standard sized tennis ball to accidentally injure a small dog’s mouth or face. Conclusion
