IDOGMATEBig Dog Ball Launcher, Tennis Ball Thrower for Big Dogs and mid Sized Dogs

It took my Australian Shephard about three hours to learn how to use this. Now we leave it plugged into an outlet in the garage and when we are home she plays for hours up and down the driveway. I haven't noticed any major issues with the machine, occasionally I clean some felt off the tracks, but this works very well. the one thing you need is tons of balls because between the chewing and the launching they will wear out quickly. We go through at least one a day.

It didn't work from the time we used it like they said it would. The balls hardly went far at all. I had high hopes for it to work because my labs love playing ball 24/7. I sadly ended up returning it.

This was cool but my dog was not sure of it so he did not take to it so I sent back.

The media could not be loaded. Just got the ball launcher today. It has a short launch delay so it gives enough time for the dog to get out of the way and set up to catch the ball without getting hit. Hopefully it lasts a while unlike the godoggo machine.So far our dog loves it!

This will work but needs modifications. The included rechargeable batteries are laughable, I bought a 12v 6AH battery (fits perfectly in the housing) and wired a solar charger. Its useless without AC without a bigger battery. I keep the top just resting on it, so I can clean the wheels and trigger when it gets nasty. 80lb lab loves it, has slobbery tennis balls and will run it until it gets dirty. Then it needs to be cleaned up. It will throw the included balls about 40ft, but a regular tennis ball is shorter. It stopped working one time, but emailed the company and they sent another control board and has worked since.It does need maintenance and some mechanical know how to work consistently.

This is an over priced piece of crap. No fabric balls don’t work, any moisture on the balls and it won’t work, balls they provide are broken shortly after use. Seriously don’t waste your money on it.

We have a 1 year old border collie who is go go go 24x7. This was the best investment and totally worth the money. We've had it for a month and she has put about 200 hours on it so far. It didn't take her long to learn how to drop the balls back in and use it all by herself. We have it plugged in and set up to shoot down a long hallway. She plays with it all day and all night. It needs a good cleaning after all of the slobber and tennis ball fuzz but it's easy to clean. The balls that came with it were destroyed day one but we use normal tennis balls and the hold up well.

distance was NOT 40 ft it went like 10 ft there was no motion detector and the second day we had it it stopped working but once we took off the back panel and messed with a few things it finally worked again definitely don’t recommend totally regret buying this
