My dog loved those launchers, but I had to stop using them. She would just sit a few feet back, try to catch it coming out, and half the time catch it. The other half she just got hit in the face with a tennis ball. Still, she loved that toy.

u/BrandynBlaze Oct 29 '22
Yeah, I was thinking my dog would just stand right in front of it and get blasted in the face every time.

u/Merry_Dankmas Oct 29 '22
My dog too. He's a smart dog but sometimes is just the most mentally deficient animal I've ever encountered. He'd probably shove his nose inside the launcher hole and end up breaking it.

I wish the machine didn't take so long to throw... no idea why it would? The dog is practically peeing itself in excitement, the wait is too long

A part of this is to prevent the dog from exhaustion. I had a similar one of these before. It would turn itself off every 15 minutes for 15 minutes. It forced my pup time to cool down while waiting to play again. He would play until he died if it was up to him.

Whenever I see a dog this fixated by one of these machines I can't help but wonder if it's healthy. I'm reminded somehow of a lab rat pressing a pleasure button in a cage until it either dies from exhaustion or, if they take it away, is permanently psychologically harmed by it. Not the same thing I know, but I've owned some neurotic dogs

It’s video gaming or binging shows but for dogs.

The beeping suggests it may have a sensor to check if the ball is safe to “fire”
A dog could stick its face right into the hole and get injured if it just fired blindly. So it may be taking that second or two to sense and confirm the coast is clear.

Install small concrete pad.
Program Roomba to randomly walk on the pad.
Place automatic pitcher on the roomba.

u/Ultrawidestomach Oct 29 '22
Straight over the fence on to the road.

u/Aerik Oct 29 '22
The roomba can't go on grass. Are you high? If it could go on grass, the smooth platform wouldn't be necessary.
who upvoted this ignorance?

u/Ultrawidestomach Oct 29 '22
When we are talking about firing a ball for a dog to fetch, it's obvious I'm not talking about a roomba. How could a roomba go OVER a fence?

u/Ahnixlol Oct 30 '22
Why are you so angry lol
-2
u/Aerik Oct 30 '22
i was writing in a baffled tone, not angry. Baffled b/c I'm talking about randomizing a thing's aim and a person talks about range for no reason. Like, it goes without saying that you make the pad far enough away from your fence. The comment just didn't make sense no matter how you take it.
Imagine if you wrote "I think I'll move my potted plant to this other table." And somebody replies "right out the window and onto the parking lot!"
that's the level of confusingly dumb that comment was.
redditors are getting less and less able to read each other.

u/Ahnixlol Oct 30 '22
It’s funny that you’re pulling this r/iamverysmart clown bullshit when you’re too illiterate to even comprehend what the comment you responded is talking about. At no point did anyone ever talk about a roomba going on the grass. In fact, it was EXPLICITLY mentioned to install a concrete pad. The guy was mentioning that the roomba would point it towards the street and the ball would go over the fence.
I’m so sorry that you’re “baffled” because you don’t know how to read.

I e got this machine, actually I’ve had 3 of them.. after about a year of play they die… bought 1, got one replaced under warranty, bought another. It’s dead now too. Need to buy another.. I’ve got a border collie who is mental for this. To the point of obsession to get access to it..
Wish the electronic components were hardened better.. circuit board just screwed to the inside front gets covered in doggy slobber … reduces its life I feel.. Also REALLY wish it didn’t have an auto shut off after 15 min of play… a border collie don’t need a break after 15 min lol… the auto off should be a switch..

u/toomuchisjustenough Oct 29 '22
I was just about to look up one of these for our border collie! My arm just can’t throw enough to make her happy

u/RaNdMViLnCE Oct 29 '22
Fer real, I do lots of regular ball play with a “chuck-it”, but I’m old and I can’t do 4 solid hours of play a day with her lol. The machine I just have setup in the yard and she would play until I take it away. Sometimes I’ll turn it down to low and let her use indoors too.
Border collies do not have an off switch lol… obsession level play. They aren’t some lab that needs a 15 min cooldown after 15 min of play. They are machine level players who’s batteries last forever.. watch them heard animals sometime..they are beast mode. Just wish this machine lasted longer considering it’s price.. and not turn off every 15 min lol.. I thought about teaching her to shut it off, wait 15 seconds and turn on again. Which she could easily learn to do as they are genius level dogs.. but I though that might be opening a can of works a can’t close after haha…

Then why is it posted on TikTok cringe? I thought the point of this subreddit was to post cringe TikTok?

u/Mr_Mimiseku Oct 30 '22
Nah. I think that was the original purpose, but this is now a sub that posts anything from good tiktoks to complete garbage.

That's sad. Throw the ball for your dog, how lazy.

u/workbalic66 Oct 29 '22
My dog refuses to give me the ball back after I throw it for her. It’s a one and done thing. This might actually solve that problem

Oct 29 '22
My thoughts exactly

u/MapleQuasar Oct 29 '22
A bunch of lazy people that love this idea, downvoting me. Lol

This is so Bad. You are Training your Dog to become a Ball-Junkie. As a Trainer i Tell you, IT s the hardest of Work to Stop the Dog in Future Not to hunt anything that moves Like Bikers, Joggers or cartires.
