The longest setting throws the ball 5 feet. At best. The dog doesnt even have to run. Just takes a step. Yes I adjusted the settings. Its not a good product. Or sell it for indoor use only. The longest distance is still safe inside. Not happy at all.

I purchased this toy 2 years ago my dog absolutely LOVES it! It took me a couple years to train her to drop the ball by herself but now she’s finally got the hang of it! Unfortunately, this toy is very finicky and glitches out and stops working. The toy will be working perfectly and then, all of a sudden it just gives an “error” beep or it senses motion in the front acts as if there’s something there, but there isn’t. What’s weird is that it’s never consistent. You never know if it’s going to work. We’re lucky enough if we can get one throw out of it. So, for about 6 months I’ve been properly troubleshooting as suggested. I’ve literally done everything: take it apart to clean, clean off the sensors, re-solder loose connections...EVERYTHING! Sometimes, when I do these things it will start to work again, other times I can’t get it to work properly for weeks. When I called to explain the issue of course it just magically starts to work again. Well, that only lasted a day before it started glitching out again. They told me to try using an UC adaptor to use it stating that it is probably a power issue. It can’t be a power issue as the machine is beeping and lighting up and doing all what it’s supposed to do until it’s about to launch and then won’t. This you isn’t cheap and it’s a waste of money when I can’t even get consistent use out of it. Very sad about it because the toy is phenomenal when it works!

My dog loves this but she chews up the tennis ball are there other options of a different ball I can use

This is a great ball launcher, just too loud when launching the ball. Doesn’t seem to scare our dog but I wouldn’t want to be holding a baby when it launches- they would probably start crying!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is an absolutely amazing toy, HOWEVER, my dogs are small and this is just too much. That being said, I gave it to my friend with a larger dog and they LOVED IT. This thing is a cannon and launches the ball a good distance. It seems well constructed too. The only reason it's 4 out of 5 is being its so loud. this is strictly an outdoor toy.

I was really looking forward to having my dog play with this. She is a 4 year old German Shepherd that is full of energy. I was shocked at how loud it was. My dog was terrified of it and would not play with it. I tried treats and other ways to try and get her to play with it but she refused. I would not recommend due to the loud noise it makes.

We bought this for our dogs for Christmas. They love it. But they are strong chewers so we are going through tennis balls pretty quickly. My dogs are more used to playing with lacrosse balls, because they last longer for them. Wish the launcher could handle those.

Omg this toy is such a great idea to keep ur pet ocupied
