SwiftPaws Chase! Complete Lure Course Kit Dog Toy, Black

The app. You get 30 seconds to run it each time. If high energy dogs use this. Most of them could idk probably run for more than 30 seconds. Timer is really inconvenient. I thought It be more fun for her than it actually is and she loves to run and chase things. Requires short level grass also.

My dogs are basically my children. I have a one year old Jack Russell and a three year old Aussie. The Jack Russell is medium energy, but if you have ever had an Aussie, you know they are incredible but they need an unreal amount of stimulation. Physical and mental. If they do not get it they will literally tear your house apart out of boredom. I do everything with my dogs. We hike every weekend, we are in agility classes, and twice a week I drive 45 minutes for my Aussies sheep herding lessons. But honestly it adds up. Those herding sessions alone are almost fifty dollars each not to mention gas. Let us just say my dogs have a bigger monthly budget than I do. Still, even with all that, there are days when I just cannot make the hike or drive. That is why I got the SwiftPaws Chase so they would have an outlet for all that energy right at home. I thought it might be complicated, but setup took maybe 10 minutes in my backyard. You just plug it in, I learned you can even use a portable phone charger for on the go play, download the app, and you are good to go. I also got the cute little dog shaped remote, partly because I am weak for dog themed stuff, but also because it is actually super convenient. Sometimes I want to start a run without pulling my phone out. I had a few questions at first but their Get Started page and videos answered everything. Super clear and helpful. This Thing Actually Works This is not like tossing a ball or going for a walk. When my Aussie is chasing that flag, he gets this look, the same one I only see during herding sessions. He is locked in. Fully engaged. Using his brain and his body the way a working dog is meant to. And my Jack Russell is in total hunting mode. It is instinct. Five minutes of Chase and they are more satisfied than after a two hour hike. Not just tired, fulfilled. And trust me, that is saying something. These dogs, especially my Aussie, can hike more than eight hours no problem. I have started using it strategically too, like before we go to the vet or a friends house where I need them to be calm. You know how high energy dogs can be total disasters in new environments if they have not burned off their energy first. This completely solves that problem. Quick session with his Chase, and in just a few minutes, they are calm, happy, and ready to chill wherever we go. And when they finally catch that flag, the look of pure joy and pride on their faces is everything. I swear they strut around the yard like they just conquered the world. Built to Last I was worried about durability, my dogs are not gentle with toys. But this thing is seriously sturdy. They drag it around, run all over it, and it still looks great. I just replace the flag when it gets shredded and we are good to go. Honestly, I have had indestructible toys fall apart within a week, so I am genuinely impressed. Plus, it has smart safety features, a timer to remind you to give breaks, and an auto stop if the line is stepped on or grabbed. Super well thought out. Worth Every Penny I have spent thousands on enrichment, doggie daycare, training, herding, agility, you name it. And all of those things have value, and I am not replacing them. But this Chase toy gives me a way to meet my dogs needs on my schedule, at home. Even if I only used this for five minutes a few days a week, it would be worth it. Because those minutes are not just about wearing them out, they are about letting them do what they were bred to do. And that makes all the difference. Bottom Line If you have a working breed, a dog with serious energy, or honestly just any dog that loves to chase things, this will change your life. It is not just a toy, it is like adding an easy button to your list of fun activities. One that actually works, makes your life easier, and makes your dog genuinely happy. I do not usually write reviews, but this thing has been such a game changer that I had to share. Sometimes products actually live up to the hype, and this is definitely one of those times.

Love that this unit can be used both indoors and outdoors. Our dog and kitty both love it! Highly recommend.
