Long days and warm weather are perfect for spending time outdoors with your dog—and nothing is more fun than a classic game of fetch. Wouldn’t it be nice if your dog could get worn out before your arm—and even nicer if you didn’t have to touch a slobber-covered ball again and again?  
Dogs seem to appreciate anything that helps them get more playtime—including a dog ball launcher. If your pup enjoys fetching, the question isn’t whether they’ll enjoy a dog tennis ball launcher but which type suits them best. A handheld launcher lets you participate in fetch games while throwing balls farther than you could by hand—and avoiding touching slobbery, dirty balls in the process.  
Automatic versions can be set up inside the house or in the yard to let your dog chase balls with or without your participation. Just make sure to choose the right size for your dog and the space in which it will be used. And while you’re at it, you might want to stock up on dog vitamins and supplements to keep your pup’s hard-working joints in good shape for playtime. 
An automatic dog ball launcher typically runs on batteries and utilizes internal gears or wheels. When the launcher is turned on and a ball drops into the funnel opening, the internal mechanism forces the ball back out through a side opening, launching it for your dog to chase. Tennis ball launchers come in different sizes to suit your dog, and many have a selection of different speeds or settings to customize your dog’s ideal game of fetch.   
Once your dog gets the hang of their dog tennis ball launcher, they’ll be ready for solo play—but how do you teach them to use their toy in the first place? With dog training treats, of course. Familiarize your dog with their automatic dog ball thrower in stages. Turn it on, let your dog get used to the sound it makes, and show your dog that it’s safe to approach. Demonstrate what the launcher does and use cue words to encourage your dog to drop the ball into the opening themselves. At each step, reward your pet with treats and praise. Go ahead and check out our dog training and behavior tools for more positive reinforcement aids. 
Dogs have different exercise needs depending on their age, breed and specific health conditions. Talk to your veterinarian about the right amount and type of recreation for your pet. During playtime, keep an eye on whether your pup is showing signs of fatigue—such as heavy breathing, panting, slowing movement or lethargy—even if they still seem eager to play. Dogs can get so excited about tennis ball launchers that they push themselves past the point where they should stop. When in doubt, it’s a good idea to check in with your pet after 30 minutes and see whether it’s time to pack up the dog ball launcher for the day.

This is Dexter, my gorgeous 7 year old rescued hound, & his 4 year old ball. He loves his ball & can find it anywhere we hide it in the house or yard. 2nd picture is his new ball. It squeaks like his old ball & smells like bacon. He seemed to like new ball & we played inside for a couple hours off & on. When I took him outside & threw it he ran to the ball sniffed it &walked away. The only ball he brings is the old one. What should I do? Thanx. Carolyn.

I am trying to teach my dog to play fetch. He goes and gets the ball but will only give it back when I have a treat for him and even then he will try and get it before I can get to it then he won't give it back. How can I teach him to do it without having to have a treat to trade with him?

Our 11 month old puppy is high energy and loves to play fetch. During a game of fetch he will get a scent and will run all over the yard with his nose to the ground, snorting and tail wagging. My question is there agility type of games for dogs who love to trace a scent?
I am planning to TRY to train Sarah to retrieve dove for my boyfriend. I realize her instinct may not be strong enough being a mixed breed. My question involves gun training her. She is not storm shy however we have no ranges nearby that allow dogs. What tips do you have both for gun training and retrieving in general? We chose dove because I don't think she's big enough to do waterfowl. But once she has mastered of we are going to try
