Too loud and can't adjust the force down enough to use in smaller areas. Also, have zero clue how to return it.

My dog absolutely loves it. Only batteries work with it but the batteries drain quickly. I have gotten 4 new power adapters and one of them work. Would give 5 stars if it worked but it doesn't.
1 reply from PetSafe® Product Support team - 5 months ago
We're sorry to hear you've had difficulty with your ball launcher, Jess! It is crucial to mention that we do not have any record of adaptor purchases from this e-mail. If you did not purchase compatible adaptors, this would explain why they would not operate with your launcher. Non-compatible adaptors should not be used, as they are unlikely to work and could damage your ball launcher even if they seem to work. We're so sorry for any misunderstanding. The correct adaptor for this ball launcher can be purchased here- https://www.petsafe.com/product/smart-feed-replacement-power-adapter/ If you have any further questions or there's anything else we can help you with, please contact us! Our live support team can be reached here- https://support.petsafe.net/contact-us/ Our phone hours are Monday through Friday 8 A.M.- 7 P.M.

The longest setting throws the ball 5 feet. At best. The dog doesnt even have to run. Just takes a step. Yes I adjusted the settings. Its not a good product. Or sell it for indoor use only. The longest distance is still safe inside. Not happy at all.

We are so sorry to hear you are having trouble with your Ball Launcher, Wednesday. The range of the launcher is between 8 - 30 feet.

When you can, please reach out to our team via phone Monday - Friday 8AM - 7PM EST or via our Live Chat Support Monday through Friday, 9 A.M. to 9 P.M. and Saturday, 9 A.M. to 6 P.M.

My dog loves this but she chews up the tennis ball are there other options of a different ball I can use
1 reply from Product Support team - 2 years ago
Thank you for sharing your dog's experience with us! Only standard tennis balls should be used with this launcher, as larger and/or heavier balls will damage the launcher over time. We do apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
Great Launcher

This is a great ball launcher, just too loud when launching the ball. Doesn’t seem to scare our dog but I wouldn’t want to be holding a baby when it launches- they would probably start crying!

We're glad to hear that your dog enjoys their new ball launcher! Thanks for sharing your feedback with us.
Great toy for dogs larger than mine!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is an absolutely amazing toy, HOWEVER, my dogs are small and this is just too much. That being said, I gave it to my friend with a larger dog and they LOVED IT. This thing is a cannon and launches the ball a good distance. It seems well constructed too. The only reason it's 4 out of 5 is being its so loud. this is strictly an outdoor toy.

We're sorry to hear that you found this toy to be too large for your pets. However, we're happy that your friend has been able to use and enjoy this with their dog!
Not for my German Shepherd

I was really looking forward to having my dog play with this. She is a 4 year old German Shepherd that is full of energy. I was shocked at how loud it was. My dog was terrified of it and would not play with it. I tried treats and other ways to try and get her to play with it but she refused. I would not recommend due to the loud noise it makes.
1 reply from Customer Care team - 3 years ago
Thank you so much for your feedback Laurie. We are sorry to hear your German Shepherd was scared of the launcher. While we do not have a quieter version of this launcher we do offer other toys that may be able to hold her attention without the louder noise of the ball launcher. If you would like to go over our other options please feel free to reach out to our customer care team at 1-800-732-2677 Mon. - Fri. 8am - 7pm ET

We bought this for our dogs for Christmas. They love it. But they are strong chewers so we are going through tennis balls pretty quickly. My dogs are more used to playing with lacrosse balls, because they last longer for them. Wish the launcher could handle those.

We appreciate you sharing this with us! We're sorry that your pups' preferred balls are not compatible with the launcher; we'll absolutely pass your interest in using these types of balls on to our specialists in this area.

Thank you for taking the time to write this review, and it's great to hear your dogs are having fun with their launcher!

As with anything new, you have to reward your dog and introduce the new toy with lots of praise and treats. It does make noise in order to launch the ball so any dog would be weary at first. You must do your part as their leader to show them it’s fun and nothing to fear.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This thing is so cool. It works great and my dogs love it. It’s super easy to set up and use. You can change the distance and the angle of the machine to your liking if you have a large or small yard. We taught our dogs to drop the ball in it themselves pretty quickly and they love to play with it. It even has a rest timer on it so your dog doesn’t go crazy and run himself to death. I think any fetch loving dog will love this toy.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was recently given the opportunity to try a PetSafe Automatic Ball Launcher. This thing is great! It is so much fun for our dog! I like the way you can set it from a soft throw all the way up to a far throw. It also has a sensor to not launch if the dog is too close. This is a great idea for indoor or outdoor play for your pup!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My dogs enjoyed this ball launcher very much. They didn't enjoy the break that the launcher forces you to take, but I understand they don't want the dogs to get overheated. I would recommend this product even with the break. Great launcher!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The ball launcher is sturdy and easy to set up. My dog caught on after several uses. It does make a loud thud when the ball is launched, which startled my dog at first, but she got used to it fairly quickly. I love that you have several options to change the distance and angle settings. I have it set-up in my basement and it works great!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had high hopes for this but my dog was not having it at all with this. I have a bull dog who loves to play. Easy and quick to set up and play with. The only issue my dog did not like the loud noise it made when it shoots the ball out. We tried a few times and she didn't like.it still.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My dogs love to play fetch. They constantly bring me toys to throw for them and sometimes they don't return. I love to have this outside when I'm gardening. I can have a stack of tennis balls that I can keep going for them until they get bored. I also love how the distance is adjustable so I can use it indoors without breaking a window.
