This is the 2nd ball throwing machine we have purchased and it is the better of the two. The motor is more powerful and the ball does not land in the same location every time. With our previous ball throwing machine, he could predict it too well, and would stand in front of it and catch the ball immediately in his mouth, which we didn’t feel was safe for him.
The details on this machine: it does make numerous sounds and my border collie twitches at every sound. There is the 15 minutes on/15 minutes off time sound, the preliminary sequence of sounds to launching the balls, and the sound which indicates the machine has detected motion in front of it and won’t launch. For the last sound, my dog remains flash frozen in whatever action pose he is in—it’s funny and my dog just stays frozen until the machine starts its “preparing to launch sounds”.
We have found a solution to the 15 minutes time-out with the purchase of this N-LINK Short Period Repeat Cycle Intermittent Timer, Interval Timer . We set it to turn off for 1 minute every 14 minutes. This doesn’t mean that we don’t participate in his play. He creates endless variations of games with this machine. The attached picture is him experimenting with putting his favorite ball in the device instead of the tennis ball. We’ve already bought a backup-up machine.

Works great, but…
It took my Blue Heeler about a week to learn how to use this launcher. Now, he loves this thing. The only issue on it now is the timer. It’s programmed to only operate for 10 minutes at a time before it turns off for 10 minutes. That’s great, but not so great for my pup. He gets very frustrated when it times off after 10 minutes and just doesn’t understand why it’s not working. (Frustrated look in the pic I posted) In his frustration, sometimes he pulls the ball back out, and changes the direction of the launcher. This causes it to send balls in random directions once it comes back on. Great product, I just think the automatic off setting should have a human override…
