PetSafe Automatic Ball Launcher

The PetSafe Automatic Ball Launcher is the premium choice in automatic fetch games. Safety and fun are top priority, meaning your dog can play with the ball launcher with or without their human thanks to multiple safety features and motion sensors. Use with 6-D batteries or with the included power cord. The ball launcher includes two standard PetSafe tennis balls, ideal for a game of fetch. In case you want to mix up the game, adjust one of the six angle settings or one of the nine distance settings to really get the game going. Launch anywhere between 8-30 feet. Don’t worry about your pup over-working themselves while playing. The ball launcher has a 15 minutes interval rest feature to ensure your pet gets the down time they need in between play sessions.

Introduce Your Dog Slowly

Launch the first ball outside, with your dog in the vicinity. Once the ball launches, give your dog a treat. Repeat until your dog seems comfortable around the ball launcher.

Train Your Dog

Using treats, train your dog to 'drop it'. That means have them drop the ball in your hand, then reward them. Once they've learned this, practice doing this over the hopper. Once your dog learns to drop over the hopper, the launch will be the reward.

Hit the Road

Take the ball launcher with you anywhere you go using the comfortable carry handle. Use 6 D batteries to power the toy when the adapter is not in use.

Tones Help With Training

The Ball Launcher features several tones to create a learning-friendly interaction between the dog and the toy. The dog learns what the tones mean, making it easier to play on their own.

Distance

Launches between 8-30 feet.

Pull and turn the knob to adjust distance. Great for indoor and outdoor use.

Angle

Launches higher or lower based on your dog's preferences.

Pull and turn to adjust the angle.

Multiple Safety Features

Motion Sensor on front of launcher.

Safety Sensor in launch pocket.

Ball Detection Sensor in launch pocket.

15 minute rest feature to prevent over-working.

Customers are mixed about the quality of the pet toy. Some mention it works great, is light weight to move, and works very well for the price. However, others say that it didn't perform as well as in the video, it makes noise that scares their dog, and it didn’t shoot as far as they had hoped. It only operates for 15 minutes before it shuts down, and is not as powerful as they thought.

10 customers mention0 positive10 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the speed of the pet toy. They mention it's very slow to launch, pitch, and the time lag is frustrating.

Doesn't work
This thing does not work! Changing the settings is very difficult. Change them once and the ball gets stuck and won't fire at any setting. Save your money.
