Does it work for small dogs?

No. It is built for medium to large dogs and uses 2.5-inch balls, which are too big for most small breeds. Small dogs also tend to lose interest when the ball flies far.

How long does the battery last and how long to charge?

The 5200 mAh battery gives about two hours of cordless play. A full charge takes around five hours, so plan a charge between sessions.

Can it be used indoors?

Only in a large open space. It is rated at 72–80 dB, which is loud in a room, and the balls bounce hard off walls and furniture.

What balls does it take?

It ships with six 2.5-inch ETPU balls and is designed around that size. Standard tennis balls are larger and will jam it.

Does it launch balls on its own?

It fires only when a ball is detected in the chute, so it will not run empty. Your dog still has to bring the ball back for the next launch.

How far can the remote reach?

The remote is rated for at least 98 ft, which covers most yards. Walls and corners cut that range.

Our take on the Automatic Dog Ball Launcher

This is a cordless automatic ball launcher for medium to large dogs, with three distance settings up to 80 ft, a random mode and a remote that works from about 98 ft away. It runs on a 5200 mAh battery for roughly two hours of play and only fires when it detects a ball, which cuts down on dry launches. It suits owners who want their dog to burn energy without standing in the yard throwing. Against manual launchers it adds distance, remote control and battery play; against premium app-connected launchers it is simpler, with no app or scheduling.
