Chuckit! Sport 14S Ball Launcher for Small Dogs, 14-Inch Manual Thrower with 2-Inch Ball, Fits Dogs up to 20 lbs

FANTASTIC for our little guy! Has lasted through some big dogs trying to chew it and NO MARKS! Fits in my back pocket and easy on your hand for those long park days.

I'm a senior and can't throw a ball very far for my Labradoodle. I tried a larger size of this Chuckit and it still hurt you shoulder to launch it, plus it didn't go very far when thrown by me. But this smaller version goes sends the small ball quite far it has a lot of bounce, & not only that but it floats too. My only complaint is that due to its small size it can get lost in the taller grass next to the lake.

Please note that this launcher is for a smaller sized chuckit - it came as a package deal with an order of small fuzzy chuckits and it works GREAT. Recommend using in dry weather since the water sprays when wet (or just be better at throwing than us!)

My dog loves the little ball size. Slightly odd curve makes it so i am launching the ball somewhat downward (hard to throw ball very far). Still can throw a little further than with just my arm though so I’ll take it. Note these are not highly durable balls, they’re more like regular tennis balls. If your dog likes chewing, they’ll chew these up quick.

I hate touching my dogs balls when I have to throw it to him! This is perfect for no contact with the ball! I love the ease of tossing the ball to him. My only problem has nothing to do with the product! I's my dog! He goes to get the ball but wants to hold on to the ball and not put it back down so I can continue to toss! With training, hopefully that will change!!

The smaller balls this fits are a better fit for my dog than the standard 2.5" tennis ball, but the thrower isn't as good. The standard "medium" thrower will not only throw farther (to be expected as it has a longer arm) but releases better and more consistently. This one requires a fair amount of wrist snap to get the ball out, and the release point isn't as consistent so it's harder to aim. A fair amount of the time it releases too late and ends up throwing almost straight down. The shorter arm also removes the value of an easier ball pickup. I'm hoping it will break-in for better performance before it breaks altogether.

Best toy ever! My yorkie runs himself to sleep chasing this ball.

the ball fits very tightly inside of this so you have to throw it very hard to get it out. a ball I threw with this took a bad bounce and hit my dog in the eye, and because it was thrown so hard it damaged his eye enough that we had to get it removed. this was obviously not something I imagined would happen even after recognizing I had to throw it harder, but looking back it could have been avoided because I did not have the same problem with the medium size launcher.
