Would this work to launch tennis balls for a dog? We have a German shepherd who chases balls till your arm's about to fall off,&amp; she still wants more.

I don't. Think it will. The pouch is much smaller than a tennis ball. It's more for glass marbles, steel shot and the plastic "practice" marbles. This thing is lethal, especially to small game. I would suggest a water balloon launcher instead. Especially the one with foot straps. Try searching in Toys.

Possibly so. We have a Labrador/Greyhound mix who hates to play fetch and is very iffy about toys. He does go after this Flirt Stick. He loves it. It might take a little bit of doing to get her interested, but she will catch on. Buddy (this mix I mentioned) can go on forever when running, but he only last about 20-30 minutes with this before tiring out. Deacon, my American Bulldog, can last for about 15-20 minutes with this before tiring out.

I'd definitely give it a try. Our ball is 2.5 years old and is the only one we've found to last with our rottweiler/pit mix.

I suppose if your dog throws the ball across the room, it could break. Otherwise, I'd say it's pretty sturdy. As I'm sure you know, just keep an eye on your dog while he/she uses it! We love this toy and say it's worth a shot.

The Kong ball is larger than the tennis ball, but my dog handles it okay. I just don't throw it to her, but she will play with it alone. Sometimes I will roll it for her to chase. She can fetch it fine. She is an 80 lb-16 month old German Shepard.

It's slightly larger... maybe about the size of a softball? It depends on the size of your dog. In my opinion it's better if your dog can't pick up the ball and carry it with ease because if it is able to do that, then it may be able to chew it and break it as well. The ball is meant to be nudged and pawed at so that it rolls on the floor and dispenses treats.

yes it would ift a German Shepard the ball is so cute. I have a Yorkie Terrier and its a bit to big for him.

I would imagine a tennis ball would be too heavy for it. I have thrown it away, so can't test it for you.

I think you probably could play tennis with it. You may need to glue the plug that holds the light mechinism in, but I think it would work. May be a little more bouncy than a regular tennis ball, but I would totally give it a try! Good luck!

We have used it with a Golden Retriever. She also likes tennis balls. No problem with either.

This ball is too small for a large dog. You would have to contact the manufacturer about breakage questions. I would get something else for a large pet.

This size (medium) is approximately the same size as a tennis ball. I'm thinking that with a spaniel, it might run a little big. The smaller one is larger than a golf ball, so that might be a more appropriate size. But, If he/she like playing with tennis balls...

We bought the light, white plastic balls that are advertised but tennis would prob work. If you don't have netting though, the heavier the ball the farther into the neighbors yard it will go and more damage it could do. Just saying.

YES! I have German Shepherds, Tennis balls are terrible for dogs teeth (glue deteriorates tooth enamel), The Chuckit balls are amazing! I pull a thick nylon rope through the hole and knot both ends and we play tug, toss, carry. Its a great ball. My GS's will crush a tennis ball but these keep it fun and we can play i the dark.

Absolutely! This particular model in my opinion is the best one to use for dogs. Once you get the hang of throwing it it tends to fly straight and it hovers for awhile and it land actually seems to land right in my dogs mouth. The aerobie pro would work also but your dog has to be extremely athletic and you need ALOT of space. This model is perfect for smaller areas and it does wear your pet out steam as quick

Yes, it can be used in a tennis ball war. It has a self launcher so you don't need any additional devices. I think it works best with a bit smaller tennis ball. It shoots the ball very far and it is really fun. Ours is used with a dog and he loves it. Have been using it over seven months almost daily with no problems.

What a neat idea! I would think a dog would not have any problem hitting the button (with nose or paw). The button is very easy to push/engage.
