GoDogGo Ball Launcher: Remote, 25-Ball Hopper, 12–35 ft

Why it matters

Run it on timed intervals of 4, 7 or 15 seconds, or launch each ball with the remote from up to 50 ft. The wide hopper holds up to 25 balls, and distances range from about 12 to 35 ft. A safety arc and sensor shoot balls up and out; Hyper Pet asks you to train your dog to stand to the side or 3 ft in front. It includes 5 balls, rechargeable lithium batteries and an AC adapter.

Pros and cons

Pros

Remote
Big hopper
Timer settings

Cons

Price
9 lb
Not water resistant

Limitations to weigh

Supervise launcher play, teach your dog to approach from the side, and cap sessions; some dogs will fetch past exhaustion or fixate on the machine.
Use only the ball size the launcher is made for, and make sure the ball is too large for your dog to swallow.
Skip long fetch sessions in heat and give water breaks; puppies and dogs with joint problems need shorter, gentler play.
