Dogs can learn the placement of the ball in the hopper very quickly and that adds stimulation to the exercise. The electro mechanical sound as the device prepares to launch builds tension amongst the players, that’s you and the dog. In short, these are great toys. Of course, you could just get a ball checker stick for a few bucks and interact with your puppy a little more. I did both.
The #1 thing for me is that this one doesnt use wheels or rubber devices to launch the balls. With the wheels, when the balls get slobbery or wet, it basically no longer is able to launch the balls anymore. This one doesnt use any type of wheel or rubber device to launch the balls
did the company send you all the extra products because you reviewed the product or do they send them to all customers? Product's always sold out. I've been wanting to buy this for awhile now.
Hello, I know this is pretty old but fingers crossed you'll see my comment :) Can you use this fully manually too? As in, can it be set so that it'll only launch balls when you press the remote button, and not at various intervals?
I never saw him put a ball back into the bucket. I thought that was the whole point of this thing, to play solo fetch. I don't think my dog would figure that part out, he'd just drop the ball on the ground and look around.
This video was literally shot with this dog the first time using it. I do think after some time depending on the dog you could train them to put the ball back in to launch it. I’ve seen some other videos that depict just that.
InsomniacReviews I’m sure Theo could figure it out. : ) I’ve seen some of these that appear to give the dog a treat when they put the ball in, but I’m guessing this one doesn’t do that.
once my dog gets a ball in his mouth, its covered in his saliva, and would pick up grass on the field, if the ball is dirty like that, does this still work?
I have tried the IfetchToo. It kept hanging up and did not launch at the distances It claimed. Does the Godoggo hang up with slobbery balls or grass getting in it? We have tried two different brands, same problems. Haven't tried this yet. Why no rechargeable battery?
Never once do we see the dog actually drop the ball in the bucket. If we have to load the bucket every time, what's the point? We can save the $150, get off our lazy asses, and throw the damn ball ourselves!
This was the dog's absolute first time seeing or using this product so it took some time but he brings it back and drops the ball in the bucket every time. Alot of other great reviews showing the same. Didn't take very long for the dog to get the hang of it and you're welcome to do whatever you like with you $150.00. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
niceneezy You must not have experience with dogs that have extremely high exercise needs. It doesn't matter how many times I throw a ball, my dog never gets tired. I'm not saying that a toy should replace human/dog interactions but it's a nice tool for those of us with really busy dogs!
