The media could not be loaded. I have nothing but good things to sat about this doggie nerf gun except for one thing. It's kind of loud, like echos through my small neighborhood loud. Other than that it's perfect. I'm disabled and with this I can pick up and shoot my dogs chuckit balls all over my yard with very little effort and she loves it so much. She jumps up to 6-7 feet going for what this thing shoots out sometimes. She's capable of being a couch potato all day or she's full on all day energy, I just shoot the ball over and over to her liking. This is my second one, the first was a gift from neighbors for our dog but it's not working as smoothly but still works. Read more
This product lasted 6 months before the elastic band broke, with no way to repair or replace. Dog loved it so much had to buy again. Read more
Easy to operate. Functions as advertised. My dog is already obsessed. I was able to get it to go over 45’ using the included balls. Compatible with a standard-sized tennis balls and medium sized Chuckit! Ultra ball. It is just a plastic Nerf gun, so it won’t stand up to violent use. I expect normal wear and tear with moderate use. I’m not sure how one reviewer injured themselves because there aren’t any exposed moving parts. The mechanism which propels the ball is completely encased in plastic. The only external movement is a manually operated handle to cock it back but it remains in place when the trigger is pulled.

Just got this yesterday and was able to try it out today. The noise bothers one of my 2 dogs, but not the other. The medium size rubber chuckit balls work fine, but don't go very far, definitely not 50 ft. I didn't even bother to try it with the so called tennis balls that come with it. Both of my dogs are heavy chewers and the balls would have been destroyed by the time they brought them back to me after one shot. I would not call the plastic it is made of chewproof, even for a lighter chewer, so it is put up out of my dogs' reach when not in use. Since I just got it I can't judge whether or not it will last, but here's hoping. Read more
Plain and simple, it doesn't launch the ball much more than 20 feet in the air. If the dogs were happy with 20 feet I wouldn't have tendinitis. I really wanted this to work but it is a waste of money. The dogs also didn't love the sound but they would have gotten use to it. Read more
This is our second one because I dropped the first one and it broke. Our golden retriever loves playing fetch with us when we use this to launch the balls. It shoots a long way and she gets a lot of running in. We aren’t crazy about the balls that come with it and our dog chews the “skin” off them in minutes so we use the chuck it balls in this and it works great! Read more
I bought the $29.99 large one over the $15.99 medium I was replacing. The large shoots a little farther, not worth the almost double price. Also many of the pictures have a ball holder attached, mine did not. I thought that was an added perk of the large one. So save the $ and buy the medium, it's just as effective. Neither will beat a human arm or a chuck-it for distance. The noise and anticipation gets my dog excited. The previous one I had broke after 2 years of moderate use, the rubber band snapped. The balls that came with it do not have the squeakers that the previous balls do. The balls do split after a few days as my golden retriever likes to make them squeak. Tennis balls work just as well for launching. It's a $15.99 toy, not a $30 one. Read more
I wore out the automatic expensive ball launcher. The little balls they use do not last and they lose their fur. This clogs up the mechanism. The solution to this is the Blaster. Affordable, very portable and long lasting official tennis balls. 🎾 It comes with fall apart nerf balls. Order a sleeve of Wilson or Penn tennis balls and you are set. Read more
