iFetch : The Ball Launcher for Dogs (KickStarter) - YouTube

Gizmo fetches anything and everything, he doesn't care what it is lol. Do any of yu have one that if you refuse to play fetch anymore, they try to force the ball, toy or whatever it is in your mouth? Yea it's much easier to just keep throwing instead of wrestling toys away from my mouth haha. He does like tug a war too, so we do tug a war when he brings it back, then throw. This goes on all day in between walks and naps. I think since he's an only pup and he can't get the cats to play toys itch him, I'm the next best thing.

You can put it on the dresser and around 4am she will be standing on your chest with it in her mouth barking at you and the disco lights flashing thru the room.

Wow, you do have a serious problem there. You might need to talk to a dog trainer about your problem.

I wouldn't doubt that one at all. The dogs are barking for the interaction with you more than anything else.

Mine are more into nosework -- sniffing out stuff for treats -- than fetching balls. But it's the same result: They bark until I hide the odor for them. They can't get enough of it. I think I'd rather throw a ball!

I have two OCD yorkies... One licks nonstop even in his sleep and the other fetches and even sleeps in a ball in her mouth... I know I am not normal but couldn't I at least have one normal puppy

The I fetch ball launcher takes any balls 1.5" or less according to the developers. Knowing how much Katie loves to fetch balls, our dear friend ordered us one a few weeks ago. We can't wait to get it. That video makes me even more excited.

[alaskayorkie]

Let us know how it goes! Yeah, the I fetch seems to have been designed with smaller dogs in mind.

[lisaly]

Katie is not interested in balls bigger than 1.25" and prefers smaller. She will not touch the smallest kongs, but it could also be a rubber thing. Our floors are lined with Katie's balls. She used to want to chew them, but having so many of them around has desensitized her. It's amazing I don't kill myself with all of them around. I know I will have to sit there with her when she plays because she loves interacting with me, but hopefully it will save my back. Every time I bend down after Katie drops the ball at my feet, she teases me and gets it before I can. It's a good thing I adore her so.

And that's another thing about Stella.. Size does not mater she has tiny kong tennis balls all the way up to a huge like honeycomb ball the size of a basketball that she carries around!!

As I am typing this I keep feeling as if I am being stated at sooo hmmm let's look to my left..

[GuinnessStout]

And now it is time for bed...

[Sunnydayz]

Hahaha one of Gizmos favorite fetch toys is a 2 ft long raccoon, more than twice his length, but he never lets size deter him. Anything too small like the small tennis balls are destroyed in minutes into shreds !!! People laugh when they come to my house because they think I have a huge dog, due to the size of toys laying around and I tell them yep, I have a 5lb Rottweiler lol.

[alaskayorkie]

Lol ...

Bailey does the same Bailey also does this if his food and water, which ever is out. Too funny to watch Smarty pants they are!
