The Chuckit! 18M Junior Dog Ball Launcher is perfect for smaller yards and parks or dogs that don't like running as far or losing focus when they're too far away. Upgrades the classic game of fetch by enhancing your throwing speed and distance with less effort. Never bend down to pick up a slimy ball again. A durable plastic launcher firmly grasps a ball and then releases it as you swing. You can consistently throw the ball 2 to 3 times further with some practice. It features an ergonomic grip, no slobber, and hands-free pickup. Compact size. It comes with one Chuckit! Tennis Ball. Use with all medium-sized 2.5" Chuckit! Balls. It is made in the USA.
