Chuckit! Classic Launcher Dog Toy, Color Varies, Original

I have a German Shepherd who is now just shy of his second birthday. We have been using a Chuckit! for well over a year and we both love it! We play on a large grass field and I found that a tennis ball just doesn't bounce much at all and is usually motionless by the time he gets to it. I discovered Moon Balls which are silicone-like balls equal in size to a tennis ball that bounce very high repeatedly and he appreciates them MUCH more as he gets to jump and chase them around to his heart's content. That said, now that he is older I have to be careful not to let him sit and chew on one because his jaws are now strong enough to destroy one rather quickly.

If I have two balls at the ready he is too busy running and retrieving to sit and chew. You can get Moon Balls from Chewy, too. … more

I have a German Shepard who has a lot of energy. I am a senior with not much energy. I bought the Chuckit so I could play with my girl who LOVES to run and catch the ball. She is great at returning to me with the ball but not so good at giving it back. I use 2 balls so when she returns with one I have another to throw. She drops the one she has returned with and goes after the next one. It is working very well. The Chuckit works great, no problem throwing or picking up the ball. It throws the ball much farther than I could and really saves my shoulder. Best part is I never have to handle the slimey balls! FYI- the balls I use are hard chew types because my little darling will destroy a tennis I have a German Shepard who has a lot of energy. I am a senior with not much energy.

Just need the right size. Very happy. … more

Soon as I opened this my dog was trying to take the ball out of the launcher. He is addicted to fetching balls. I got this because it is hard for me to constantly bend over to pick up the ball when he brings it back to me and let me tell you he could do this all day! His birthday is tomorrow tomorrow, but I couldn't wait to give it to him! We had a ton of fun playing and I had no problems picking it up in a standing position over and over!

This is my 2nd chuckit. Honestly our first is still working just fine, even after several years. I just wanted the 2nd one in case anything should ever happen to our first. I thought these were silly before I actually had one. But to not have to touch your dogs slobbery toy is something else once you experience it. My dog will fetch forever, so I think we’ll have one at all times.

Really wish I would have gotten one of these sooner!! Makes playing and exercising my dog much easier on my joints (hello torn rotator cuff pain!) and throws much farther than I would ever be able to by hand alone. Also very helpful with picking up the ball so I don’t have to bend and stoop which is great for my lower back AND my dog! highly recommend

This one has a lot more flex in the stick than I thought it would, has great range assist, little on the longer side but great tool to have in order to save yourself from throwing something else out. The ball that comes with it didn’t last past a couple tosses, out GSD crushed it easier than the tennis balls we have. Great stick, cheap ball

I've always wondered if Chuckit products were worth it. the answer is yes! My dog went through the tennis ball that came with the launcher pretty quickly, so I replaced it with the breathe right ball from Chuckit. My dog loves fetch and I can now throw it across our whole 1 acre lot, which he loves.

In fact, I've had to go get the ball that went too far, into the street. Our Lab figured it out right away, when I get the chuck it out, she really gets to chase the ball. The ball didn't last long but works great with tennis balls

My son wanted to get this for our dogs for a while, and i said, we are a baseball/softball family and we can throw just fine. Well, I gave in and I'm so glad I did! It really launches it further than we ever could, and it saves our softballs from getting chewed up too. They give these balls back right away so we can throw them again! They love chasing them down clear across our yard!

The arm on this thing is great for throwing to my German Shepherd who could chase a ball for hours on end but the ball that came with it, which was just 1, came apart after about 10 throws. Apparently their gig is to get you to keep purchasing the balls separately.
