Product DescriptionThe Chuckit! is one sweet way to exercise your dog...without wearing out your arm. With the Chuckit!, you can throw that ball out of the ballpark over and over again. Made of lightweight, durable plastic, the Chuckit! uses a standard-size tennis ball and is designed for hands-free pickup... so you NEVER have to bend down and pick up a slimy ball again. Use it in the park, in your backyard, or anywhere else with plenty of room. With a little practice you can consistently throw the ball 100 to 140 feet.
Amazon.com ReviewSay farewell to slobbery games of fetch. The brilliantly-simple design of Chuckit! means you'll never have to pick up a sodden tennis ball again. Perfect for ball junkies of all breeds and sizes, this nifty little toy is like an extension of your arm. You'll throw longer and faster and keep hands slime-free, all without wearing out your pitching arm. With practice, it's possible to fling a ball as far as 140 feet, tiring out the most fetch-happy retriever in a shorter period of time. Chuckit! is also great for owners with mobility issues, since there's no need to bend over and pick up balls. Simply place the claw over the ball and press down. The Chuckit! tool snaps around the ball and holds on. To get the most distance out of the tool, use an overhand throw and follow through. Use only standard-size tennis balls, and be careful not to throw directly at animals or people. This set comes complete with a ball to get you started. --Mary Park
"Chuckit" has saved my dog from injuries by other dogs.... (Rating: 5 out of 5) The "Chuckit" ball launcher has been a godsend and probably has saved my dog from injury on a number of occasions. Sounds like an odd testimony indeed, but I have a very sociable and trusting whippet and whippets are possibly one of the two fastest dogs on the planet. Before Jack was interested in chasing a ball, he would only want to entice dogs to chase him at the dog beach or dog park. Consequently, there have been dogs who became aggressive during the chase and have lain in wait for him to run by and have nipped and toppled him to get him under control. I realize this had to stop. So I bought a Chuckit and Jack was hooked immediately. Now he could care less about dogs chasing him - he is happy to greet them - but he does NOT want to be chased any longer. He is so addicted and hyperfocused on the ball. And IF a dog at the beach or park starts chasing him once I have "chucked" the ball, when the dog catches up with Jack, he just comes to a dead stop and will not let the dog chase him. Additionally, in two instances recently, I was able to use my chuck it to ward off dogs rushing towards us, off leash, with no owner in sight. They stayed clear of the crazy lady with the orange stick! So, it has been miraculous for us. Jack's brother is NOT interested in the ball and he has already had surgery for a serious dog attack - dogs chasing whippets - whippets with very thin skin and skin tears easily. I love my Chuckit launcher. But I ONLY buy the ULTRA balls which are orange rubber with a blue contrasting stripe because they bounce so nicely.

Chuckit Review (Rating: 4 out of 5) Purchased the chuckit for my 3 dogs. The lab looooves it. One of the others thinks it's a giant chew toy so we have to keep it out of her reach. :) Would recommend it for any dog that is a fetching machine.
