The Chuckit!® 18M Junior Dog Ball Launcher is perfect for smaller yards and parks or for dogs that just don't like to run as far, or lose 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. With a little practice, you can consistently throw the ball 2 to 3 times further. Features an ergonomic grip and no slobber, hands-free pickup. Compact size. Comes with one Chuckit! Tennis Ball. Use with all medium-sized 2.5" Chuckit! balls. It is made in the USA.
