people should stop hating that this is for "lazy people." Everyone can't be home 24/7. some people have work. some people want to go out to places they can't take their dog. some people want to relax at home and have a lazy day. Don't call people who want their dog to be happy and play independently "lazy." I'd much rather have things to help my dog have fun by herself than have an anxious dog that destroys my apartment when I'm not home.
Chillaa23 what a horrible mindset. We aren’t the slaves of our pets. Unless you work at home and are perfectly healthy there is no way you can keep your pet content all the time. This is perfect for all those good, patient boys that wait for their owners to come home.
- and what do you think this product is for? To take care of your dog’s physical and emotional needs while you can’t be home. It’s unrealistic to expect everyone to be home 24/7 with their dogs and it’s unhealthy for the dogs to have a hyper attachment to you, which can happen if you do spend 24/7 with the dog. There has to be a healthy balance between codependent and independent time with your dog. And this tool encourages independent play.
Yeah, if kids can have toys why can't dogs? Nobody is called "lazy" in that case. I prefer my dog to have something fun to do when I'm busy rather than being bored
Responding to all those people who stated people are too lazy to throw a ball. Having had dachshunds all of my life this machine is a blessing. When my dachshunds have run me ragged they have this to run them ragged.
I loved the Boston Terrier's reaction...so darn cute! There isn't anything wrong with the automatic ball launcher. Sometimes people don't have the time to throw a ball with their dog. Also, it's good for the disabled or elderly person who cannot interact with their pet outside. If you don't like the launcher, then don't bloody buy it.
When you are not home...yes. When you are home...play with the dog and put it away. Now, if you are disabled and can’t play, this would be great for the dog and great to watch! Definitely has it’s uses.
I can't wait for the one for large dogs to be complete, my baby girl is home all day by her self and she gets bored and then gets into things she shouldn't. She would love this to play with. Let me know when it hits the market. So excited
I saw something similar on TV, the dog loved it... no more picking up the ball, no more soggy tennis ball or dirty hands,no interruptions when having a coffee or wine with visitors outdoors... just sit, relax and watch your dog loving it....
+veronica saunders I have the fetch, my doggie love it, but the ell gets soggy and I have to dry it every 7 fetch. He has a lot of balls, but he gets obsessed with 1or 2 each day and it has to be those.
This looks perfect for my dads dog I literally throw toys every few mins when I’m there .... I’m not kidding , if I’m visiting for 8 hours then I throw for 8 hours I’m a sucker I can’t resist his cute doggy face 😝
Tell me about it! My little yorkie wakes up with a ball and falls asleep with it playing it to the last possible person willing to throw it for her. We need that gadget to get peace and rest at home!😂😂😂
I work from home and I would literally never get anything done if I played fetch with my dog every time she wanted me to (every 5 minutes). This this is perfect for me.
Only takes one or to baps to teach him to NOT STAND IN FRONT... lol. They'd be just fine. Just think.... if you swing your hand while sitting in the chair, if you dog walks up and gets bopped, either they'd try playing with it and get bopped a cpl times then jolt away or sit back and jot his head out to bite your hand. Playfully of course. The point is. THEY LEARN FAST
It's not being a "Lazy Dog Owner". Some people have to work and this entertains there pet while they are at work. Its like buying a kid toys to keep themselves entertained..
I play for hours with my pooch but there are times I just gotta stop and get things done and he still wants to play. This would be great for those time :)
That happy doggo got shot in the face 1:25 The flaw of the machine is that it can only fire from one point in one direction. I thought it had sensors to not shoot the excited dogs in the face but it seems like that’s not the case.
I have a Parson Russell Terrier that is obsessed with chasing the ball. I walk with him for an hour every morning with a ball Chuckit to wear him out. I throw the ball inside the house for him, play tug too but his main focus is the ball. I ordered one last night, he is going to love this. I'll still throw his ball because I like trowing it for him but this? This gives me a break. LOL
need a larger outdoor version that will work with standard tennis balls and will launch really high and far (maybe with a variable setting) for big dogs. This should be your target market. Most of these small dogs can pick up a tennis ball too. Just a thought.
Once you've taught your dog what to do then it would work as a great entertainer/boredom&loneliness&distress alleviater whilst you're out of the house without them. The one's in the vid being shown the ropes/given a helping hand were clearly at the early stages, whereas the others going completely solo were either faster learners or more experienced users.
If the ball shot immediately the dog would not be have time to get in front of the machine and block it, also dogs would probably associate putting the ball in the hole with it shooting out faster enabling them to learn how it all works quicker. ifetch you may implement that in the ifetch 2 for a small fee of one doggy biscuit.
Ok that shoots the ball pretty fast though. From the side view, I had to really focus on when it shot the ball to see it actually get launched. Honestly can't blink or I'll miss it. Or maybe I'm just slow.
Okay the Boston Terrier Dancing around as he waits is cute! But is the iFetch stable enough that it won't be knocked around and shoot something expensive like a lamp?
You're asking the right questions that the R&D team never did. If they send me a sample unit and money for clean up I'll 'conduct' this experiment in the name of science.
Matthew Schipper Hi Matthew. No, there is no sensor on the iFetch. There is a bit of a delay in the release of the ball to allow a dog to back up/get out of firing range and get ready to chase the ball. Our new product, the iFetch Too, is coming out this year and uses regular sized tennis balls with almost no launch delay. In that case, there is not enough time for a dog to step into the firing range. Hope that helps!
the dog will learn quick if it gets hit to close ! my thing is, is it looks like it only throws that one size ball should be able to throw a bunch of different sized balls
get this toy for lazy people play time is about playing with your pet and having a bonding sure it could be used whilst your not home but depending on it might not be a great idea for enhancing your relationship with your pet.
briLady7 I was wondering the same thing! I was reading through the comments to find the answer. I'm playing fitch with my dog at the moment, he has his fav kong squeaker ball
I have two cats who love to fetch (they initiate the game with me and my husband).... will this model let me put the small foam 'golf balls' or the small plastic balls in it (both cat toys)?
Adquiri este lançador. Minhas meninas adoraram !!!!!!!!!!!! mas destruíram as bolinhas e não consigo achar para comprar ....quem souber de algum lugar que eu possa comprar, ficarei imensamente agradecida !
+San Vgel I put it in a little ikea plastic stool and it works great. I do have to dry the ball once in a while thou, when it gets wet it will not launch and my doggies does not change balls, it has to be the same all the time at least for the day
Looked fun, but I wondered how often your dog would get hit smack in the eye by the ball ejecting. Also... it is actually really bad for animals to skid run on slippery floors. Try asking your vet about this and they can explain in more detail.
How do we know the dog will use it when alone? Otherwise it's a waste of money. I want to entertain my dog while he's alone because I'm watching him right now sleeping and doing not much at all.
temujin9000 Or if they're home alone. Or if you have difficulties with mobility/use of arms. They're not pitching this as a total replacement of all care for your dog, are they?
You should spend a day with my longhair dachshund. She wants to play 24/7 & will wear you out. I'm pretty sure she has Red Bull running through her veins. lol. You do have a point though.
I guess this is for small dogs or puppies. I sure couldn't let me large dogs have a ball that small. Could launcher could pelt it right down their throats. Anyone know of a model that handles larger balls?
KT Renol Hi there! Sorry for the delay in response. The iFetch Too, our product for larger dogs that will use regular-sized tennis balls, will be out later on this year most likely around late summer/early fall! Keep checking back on our Facebook page for more information and any updates! Thanks.
if you did your homework, you will find out that this was the brain child of a teenager who had mounds of homework to do and his dog always wanted to play which he couldn't at times - life gets in the way. So with the help of his grandfather they came up with this idea so rather than the dog having to sit and wait, he could be active. So this was the brainchild of not a mega corp but a boy and his granddad...and they didn't have the advantages of big pockets or names to support them .
TEVA BOOKING Smaller dogs, like fox terriers, have hours of energy to burn off every day but their mouths are not large enough for regular tennis balls. That is why most pet stores carry mini tennis balls, not to rip off the consumer.
GoDogGo kicks this things ass because most dogs want to catch not run after the ball every time, GoDogGo has a nice arch so dogs can catch the ball. I wanted this thing to work but it kind of sucks.
if the owner has to keep putting the ball in there.. isn't it more practical to just throw it? i mean it takes more effort to point and get your dog to put the ball in the machine than it does to just throw the ball... i play with my dog all the time, it's an interaction/bonding experience that is healthy for both humans and dogs... this kind of takes away from that necessity...
I'm pretty sure the dogs are still being trained on how to use the device. That's why the owners are pointing at where to put the ball. This would be great for disabled persons who can't reach down to get the ball. It would also be good for dogs who have to be left alone during work. But yes, they still need interaction with their people.
That is the training process! My dog figured it out with the third demonstration. It's a great challenge for him and he loves the game. I could throw the ball 100 times and my dog wants more. I need to make dinner and study sometime!! I still have to be present for him to play with it. If I walk into another room he quits the game and follows me. We still play ball, tug, go for walks and bike to the dog park. Relax.

So if you are jealous of a 17 year old's brain child of 5 years ago - get over it rather than being critical.
I thought about getting the large dog version but having seen its over double the price of the small version, Il now not bother with either! I can understand anyone making a profit but 200 notes in the UK for that is a total piss take!! Greed of the highest order.
To have something to love. I play with my dog all the time but she get's really obsessive sometimes and even tries to put her ball on my plate that I'm eating off of! This was a great purchase because now she can play for hours by herself without interrupting my homework or eating
+Dimitris Piniaris I have a very active Yorkie that does not stop from 8:00 AM to 11:30 PM , I do play a lot with him and go for walks 2 times a day everyday, but defenetelly do not want to play 5-10 hours a day with him, I work and sometimes I am very tired. If this makes my dog happy, great. I find your comment very judgmental. Are you really that perfect?
+J Stone Yeah I was about to say try having a dog who literally never gets tired of playing. A dog who can go on a mile run, play Frisbee for an hour, and still have the energy to run around the house until sun down.
Some dogs have a high play drive. I have a chihuahua mix that literally wants to play fetch and tug of war every five minutes. I work from home and if I played fetch with her every time she wants me to I'd never get any work done.
Chris Loos Same here! Mine never gets tired...runs on jet fuel & will play fetch until my muscles ache. If it were up to her, I would never work & would play fetch with her all day, everyday. lol. This iFetch would be awesome for both Bella & me.
annoying.. we never get to see just 1 shot of the ball launcher receiving a ball, and then the full trajectory of the ball launch. just closeups of the dog and then the ball whizzing out. Also, why not a 45 degree angle for launch. This would allow the greatest distance per unit of force applied?? Finally - it doesn't accept tennis balls, so you've clearly got plans to sell us your own proprietary balls of a very specific size, which will cost $10 a piece. Quit making JUNK
Dont say it, somebody else said it looked like that because of the crack between the plastic moulds and i learnt them how basic machines/toys are made in a factory.
I see a law suit when a medium or large dog inhales it. Regulation sized Tennis balls are what MOST trainer use,,these are way too small. Better have a GOOD lawyer. Just saying.
+No use for lazy people None. they have different sizes and they have a discloser for what size it is , I have a very active 3 year old Yorkie that loves his fetch
Patricia Pasquel I just throw it, good exercise for ME, and a good bonding at the same time...As for Sizes,,these only have ONE size machine. the balls are too small

I'm crippled, and taking care of my dogs' energy and play needs can be tough. I'd love to have something like this.
There will always be people who only see the negative side of things. No point trying to change their mindset. Trolls will be trolls!

Dachshunds? Really? Just wait until you own a real dog. Labs would actually kill you.
PRKVTN
I have three of standards and they are much more athletic than most people think.
Have you ever owned a dachshund? I have owned a lab and a dachshund and the dachshund will run circles around the lab... literally.
Nobody "owns" a Dachshund.
The Dachshund owns you.

Valid point fr
OMG! The cute BT at 0:43 doing the happy dance!!!
lol 😂 😂
Yep that was the best part right. He looked so happy and exited!
This looks very familiar! Jerry has had his toy as a product!
When you are not home...yes. When you are home...play with the dog and put it away. Now, if you are disabled and can’t play, this would be great for the dog and great to watch! Definitely has it’s uses.
We have one and my doggie absolutely adore it. Thank God for it is raining days, my doggie is a hipper 3 year old Yorkie.

Who trained who?
That Boston Terrier is so funny....
i remember back in my day we had to throw the ball. what a hassle that was
It's for when the owners are out of the house
+Mr14mal02 or out of arms
+Mr14mal02 then why did the shoot every demo with the owner sitting NEXT to the machine..
I work from home and I would literally never get anything done if I played fetch with my dog every time she wanted me to (every 5 minutes). This this is perfect for me.
Herolake They can do this if you're not home...
What happens if you poop in it
sh** happens
@Logan Alford These are the real questions haha
This makes me want to buy a dog just so I can get one of these machines.
Get one for yourself. Lol
thanks for taking my idea for designing a fetch machine / ball launcher! maybe I can still design one that doesn't infringe on your patents :)
I am thinking about buying one for my ball driven Shitzu....no way can i play ball 10 hours a day. Hoping this will make him happy!
I was genuinely concerned that a few of those pups were going to stand literally in front of the device and be hit in the face.
+Sneha Inguva from the video the balls looks like a very soft (made of sponge maybe) so it won't hurt
+Sneha Inguva I think there was one dog who actually did get hit and it bounced right off. The dog seemed unfazed.
🤣 Poor puppers
Only takes one or to baps to teach him to NOT STAND IN FRONT... lol.
They'd be just fine.
Just think.... if you swing your hand while sitting in the chair, if you dog walks up and gets bopped, either they'd try playing with it and get bopped a cpl times then jolt away or sit back and jot his head out to bite your hand.
Playfully of course.
The point is. THEY LEARN FAST
Oh?
If it stops my dog from driving me crazy It's a life saver !!
It's not being a "Lazy Dog Owner". Some people have to work and this entertains there pet while they are at work. Its like buying a kid toys to keep themselves entertained..
so now all you need is iFetch, iFeed, iWalk, iGotoVet and iCleanpoop and you can finally forget that you have a dog.
Hahaha. I still want one. Damn that was good though!
I play for hours with my pooch but there are times I just gotta stop and get things done and he still wants to play. This would be great for those time :)
idog is better anyway
Or you could buy the premium package. "iForget."
My dog is ball obsessed I can play with him for an hour and he will not get bored. We need this so he can play sometimes by himself.
Holy whistle and handclap
dog of wisdom
Saw this on the channel Great Gatsby the corgi
Same here
Jerry would be proud
Brought a hot wheels criss cross crash set and made my own. Saved about 100$
I am reasonably convinced that a dog would rather play with a life form instead of a machine.
This is going on my Christmas list!
That happy doggo got shot in the face 1:25
The flaw of the machine is that it can only fire from one point in one direction. I thought it had sensors to not shoot the excited dogs in the face but it seems like that’s not the case.
I have a Parson Russell Terrier that is obsessed with chasing the ball. I walk with him for an hour every morning with a ball Chuckit to wear him out. I throw the ball inside the house for him, play tug too but his main focus is the ball. I ordered one last night, he is going to love this. I'll still throw his ball because I like trowing it for him but this? This gives me a break. LOL
Maybe this simpler device was inspired by this 2008 video -- /watch?v=4PcL6-mjRNk
Jerry would have approved.
I wish I was that easy to entertain
0:40 YO HE'S DANCING
0:43 very excited
awesome product! Can this be shipped to Manila??! :)
i'd like to see the dog pick up his own turds and put them in there
Ooohh I bet my pup would love this when I leave the house. And hopefully he'll leave our cat alone if he's busy chasing balls around the house.
need a larger outdoor version that will work with standard tennis balls and will launch really high and far (maybe with a variable setting) for big dogs. This should be your target market. Most of these small dogs can pick up a tennis ball too. Just a thought.
es ermosito es un amor como juegan con la pelotita
It looks like you still have to be there with the dog. I'd want something that I could run while I went out, so my dog had something fun to play with.
Once you've taught your dog what to do then it would work as a great entertainer/boredom&loneliness&distress alleviater whilst you're out of the house without them. The one's in the vid being shown the ropes/given a helping hand were clearly at the early stages, whereas the others going completely solo were either faster learners or more experienced users.

The dog on 00:40.... LOLLLLL....
Ok that shoots the ball pretty fast though. From the side view, I had to really focus on when it shot the ball to see it actually get launched. Honestly can't blink or I'll miss it. Or maybe I'm just slow.
Cute, but do they come in different sizes for different dog types? That little ball could choke a Golden.
This video make me remember about Jerry the dog :((
Okay the Boston Terrier Dancing around as he waits is cute! But is the iFetch stable enough that it won't be knocked around and shoot something expensive like a lamp?
This is so cool! Where can I get one of these?

OMG ITS MONIKA AND CHRSITINA FROM WALDSEE
I like that it's called iFetch just like it's made by apple
What was the second type of dog besides the dachshund it was beautiful
What would happen if this was used in a house with young children and one of the kids mistook it for a potty and dumped in it?
+lozinja someone needs to find out
You're asking the right questions that the R&D team never did. If they send me a sample unit and money for clean up I'll 'conduct' this experiment in the name of science.
Wow! I want to buy that
2022..
What will happen, if dog shits into this device?
So what happens when a dog is TOO close? Is there a sensor or something that make it only throw when the dogs out of the firing zone?
Matthew Schipper Hi Matthew. No, there is no sensor on the iFetch. There is a bit of a delay in the release of the ball to allow a dog to back up/get out of firing range and get ready to chase the ball. Our new product, the iFetch Too, is coming out this year and uses regular sized tennis balls with almost no launch delay. In that case, there is not enough time for a dog to step into the firing range. Hope that helps!
+goiFetch
What a great idea! Does it only work with batteries or on electricity as well?
Dogs aren't stupid. If they get beaned in the head once or twice they'll learn to not stand near the opening after they drop the ball in.
the dog will learn quick if it gets hit to close ! my thing is, is it looks like it only throws that one size ball should be able to throw a bunch of different sized balls
fab!
get this toy for lazy people play time is about playing with your pet and having a bonding sure it could be used whilst your not home but depending on it might not be a great idea for enhancing your relationship with your pet.
I'm wondering if a small Kong could also fit in there? I have a toy breed who's super attached to her Kong and wants me to throw it all. the. time.
briLady7 I was wondering the same thing! I was reading through the comments to find the answer. I'm playing fitch with my dog at the moment, he has his fav kong squeaker ball
00:46 do the pug shuffle!!
Thats not a pug...
I can now ignore my responsibilities in peace
I have two cats who love to fetch (they initiate the game with me and my husband).... will this model let me put the small foam 'golf balls' or the small plastic balls in it (both cat toys)?
Do all 3 balls have to be in there for it to throw one??
Gluebased tennisballs, not good?
Adquiri este lançador. Minhas meninas adoraram !!!!!!!!!!!! mas destruíram as bolinhas e não consigo achar para comprar ....quem souber de algum lugar que eu possa comprar, ficarei imensamente agradecida !
i think it should launch at a higher angle so the dog wont catch the ball with its face
+San Vgel I put it in a little ikea plastic stool and it works great. I do have to dry the ball once in a while thou, when it gets wet it will not launch and my doggies does not change balls, it has to be the same all the time
at least for the day
If it launched at a higher angle it would go further but what if it aims at the dog? New dog seeking tech
Looked fun, but I wondered how often your dog would get hit smack in the eye by the ball ejecting. Also... it is actually really bad for animals to skid run on slippery floors. Try asking your vet about this and they can explain in more detail.
My dog would be afraid of it
Who thumbs down this???
really clever idea but the cost too much.
GENIAL
The dog wants to play with a human,not a machine.BTW,shouldn't it be Ithrow and not IFetch?
It should be UstopYelling
hmm looks like it only works with that one ball, huge con should be able to throw a few different sized balls i think !
Now you have to teach them not to drop balls into the toilet pan.
Can this be shipped to Australia?
How do we know the dog will use it when alone? Otherwise it's a waste of money. I want to entertain my dog while he's alone because I'm watching him right now sleeping and doing not much at all.
people stop taking care of their kids because there are consoles. now you can do the same with your dog :P
Or if its raining outside.
temujin9000 Or if they're home alone. Or if you have difficulties with mobility/use of arms. They're not pitching this as a total replacement of all care for your dog, are they?
Except the dog is actually physically active. :p
You should spend a day with my longhair dachshund. She wants to play 24/7 & will wear you out. I'm pretty sure she has Red Bull running through her veins. lol. You do have a point though.
Thats what I was thinking. How about playing with your doggie?
Who is here after invent it rich?
I guess this is for small dogs or puppies. I sure couldn't let me large dogs have a ball that small. Could launcher could pelt it right down their throats. Anyone know of a model that handles larger balls?

The small dog looks like a choking hazard for larger dogs.
where can i buy this
I just checked the price of this thing.... £130.... really?!?
Wow........ is it so expensive because it has an "i" in front of the fetch ?
lol!
Wait till you see the price of the big dog version!!!

is that a standard sized tennis ball or is it smaller?
it is smaler, between a tennis and a squash ball
No. They do it purposesly so they can make more money fro consumer. You're better off buying theior competitor that accepts standard tennis balls.

Not only that, the glue on regular tennis balls attacks the dog's teeth...
bostons are so spastic.
Maybe, but I love the little prancing dance it does. HAHA
GoDogGo kicks this things ass because most dogs want to catch not run after the ball every time, GoDogGo has a nice arch so dogs can catch the ball. I wanted this thing to work but it kind of sucks.
What is the point of this if you have to coerce the dog to put the ball in the hole every time? Less work to throw it.
just wanna say this is a really cool idea. but lazy people get this. NO OFFENCE its cool
or elderly people, or people who cant bend down and are disabled.. Sheesh.

That is the training process! My dog figured it out with the third demonstration. It's a great challenge for him and he loves the game. I could throw the ball 100 times and my dog wants more. I need to make dinner and study sometime!! I still have to be present for him to play with it. If I walk into another room he quits the game and follows me. We still play ball, tug, go for walks and bike to the dog park. Relax.
Where is real sound of toy?
Where do you get this?
give me $200 l will get u one
Next time a new system comes up for human babies, which will take place insted of all mothers an fathers responsibility! Halleluja NEW WORLD.
"iFetch"? come on. You guys could of come up with a more original name than this without making a refference to Apple products.
razgmk U -Fetch? 😂
Brainwave if you did your homework, you will find out that this was the brain child of a teenager who had mounds of homework to do and his dog always wanted to play which he couldn't at times - life gets in the way. So with the help of his grandfather they came up with this idea so rather than the dog having to sit and wait, he could be active. So if you are jealous of a 17 year old's brain child of 5 years ago - get over it rather than being critical.
@@gayleeder690 Wait... youre refrencing jerry the dog and his owner.
Jury h
cost to much i could make it for less than 50
I thought about getting the large dog version but having seen its over double the price of the small version, Il now not bother with either!
I can understand anyone making a profit but 200 notes in the UK for that is a total piss take!!
Greed of the highest order.
This seems like using a didlo on a fleshlight...Where's the fun now?
+Tommy Kurilla lol! exactly.
+Tommy Kurilla I hope you're not using your dog as a fleshlight ಠ_ಠ
Э... вы серьезно?
so buy a machine to play with the dog cause you have other stuff to do...soooooo why did u get a dog in the first place?
To have something to love. I play with my dog all the time but she get's really obsessive sometimes and even tries to put her ball on my plate that I'm eating off of! This was a great purchase because now she can play for hours by herself without interrupting my homework or eating
+Dimitris Piniaris I have a very active Yorkie that does not stop from 8:00 AM to 11:30 PM , I do play a lot with him and go for walks 2 times a day everyday, but defenetelly do not want to play 5-10 hours a day with him, I work and sometimes I am very tired. If this makes my dog happy, great. I find your comment very judgmental. Are you really that perfect?
This is what happens when people get too lazy to own a dog.
It's for when the owners are out of the house
Oh .. That makes sense :3
+J Stone Yeah I was about to say try having a dog who literally never gets tired of playing. A dog who can go on a mile run, play Frisbee for an hour, and still have the energy to run around the house until sun down.
Some dogs have a high play drive. I have a chihuahua mix that literally wants to play fetch and tug of war every five minutes. I work from home and if I played fetch with her every time she wants me to I'd never get any work done.
Chris Loos Same here! Mine never gets tired...runs on jet fuel & will play fetch until my muscles ache. If it were up to her, I would never work & would play fetch with her all day, everyday. lol. This iFetch would be awesome for both Bella & me.
annoying.. we never get to see just 1 shot of the ball launcher receiving a ball, and then the full trajectory of the ball launch. just closeups of the dog and then the ball whizzing out.
Also, why not a 45 degree angle for launch. This would allow the greatest distance per unit of force applied??
Finally - it doesn't accept tennis balls, so you've clearly got plans to sell us your own proprietary balls of a very specific size, which will cost $10 a piece.
Quit making JUNK
that machine looks very cheap and fragile
not_a_russian nope
Dont say it, somebody else said it looked like that because of the crack between the plastic moulds and i learnt them how basic machines/toys are made in a factory.
I see a law suit when a medium or large dog inhales it. Regulation sized Tennis balls are what MOST trainer use,,these are way too small. Better have a GOOD lawyer. Just saying.
+Love my country or get out
Who the hell would buy a ball smaller than the dogs mouth?
+No use for lazy people None. they have different sizes
and they have a discloser for what size it is , I have a very active 3 year old Yorkie that loves his fetch
Patricia Pasquel I just throw it, good exercise for ME, and a good bonding at the same time...As for Sizes,,these only have ONE size machine. the balls are too small
