Dog Tennis Balls for Mini Launcher Machine, 6 Pack 4.8cm Durable Puppy Tennis Balls Replacement(Mini balls 6 Pack)

I wanted to love this. Heck, I paid nearly £80 (2023) so it needed to earn its keep. Alas, I'm not a fan and I kind of wish I hadn't bothered.It works and does exactly what its supposed to but my dogs aren't really that interested. They just cannot be coaxed into dropping the ball into the thing - despite being shown how.It's an ugly looking bulky thing too so if you're worried about your aesthetics - don't get this. It sticks out like a sore thumb.

These mini tennis balls can be used by ‘automatic Pet Prime mini tennis ball launcher’ available on Amazon

A well-constructed piece and pushes the balls out over 3 different distances (which you can choose). We were hoping this would minimise us having to throw the ball every 2 minutes for our ball-obsessed pup but unfortunately she just doesn't have the brain for it and drops the ball next to it every time. We have watched videos of (cleverer) dogs who can entertain themselves for hours with it. Hey ho.. its still a good purchase and she might get the hang of it one day! Do note.. you need the balls that come with it as any other size (if a fraction smaller) don't shoot out as far.

Sadly our Springer spaniel was scarred of the noisy wind up and pop as the ball was pushed out, I say sadly as it would have been a great toy but for the noise.

My dogs love it, although my German Shepherd waits an inch from where the ball shoots out, she hasn't really grasped the idea. It's great fun

After an hour or 2 my dog did work out that he could launch the ball himself, but he still brings the ball back to us because for years that's what he was trained to do. He plays with it now and then. Good concept, daft dog.

I was a bit worried due to some reviews but it works perfectly and my dog loves it.

First birthday gift for my Border Collie and she absolutely loves it! Only took 2 days to teach her how to work it for herself. Only have a small garden but the 30 feet is perfect for it.Very simple set up and use, quick wipe over after use to keep it nice and clean.
