How It Works
Your dog will have a great time playing fetch with the Automatic Ball Launcher. The water-resistant launcher is great for both indoor and outdoor
interactive play. With 9 distance settings and 6 angle settings the launcher shoots standard-sized tennis balls between 2.5 to 9 metres (8 to 29 feet) and
up to a 45 degree angle. Multiple built-in safety sensors keep pets and people safe while playing fetch and the automatic rest mode makes sure your
dog does not get overworked.
The motion sensor
detects movement
from up to
2 metres (7 feet)
away. Your dog
should be standing
behind that
distance. Motion
detected will pause
the machine for
3 seconds.
How to Operate
1. Install 6 D-alkaline batteries (not included) (A) or use the power cord.
2. The distance and angle knobs will be pre-set to the lowest setting. To change the
distance and/or angle, adjust paw and tennis ball knobs by pulling knob out
and turning. Paw Knob – Angle (B) – to increase the angle, pull and turn the
paw knob left. Tennis Ball Knob – Distance (C) – to increase the distance,
pull and turn the tennis ball knob left.
3. Place tennis ball in hopper, then have your dog fetch when the ball is launched.
Return the ball back to hopper to play again.
4. Turn power OFF when not in use. Do not leave outdoors when not in use.
Read the entire Operating Guide, available online at petsafe.com, for full instructions.
For First Time Use
Most dogs that love to fetch are usually great at chasing the ball, catching it and carrying it. Some are not great at releasing it. Teaching your dog to
release the ball just takes a little practice. This will also aid in teaching him to release the ball into the hopper where it will be launched again.
Your dog may need to get used to the launching sound. Start by loading one ball in the machine and stand with your dog several metres from the
launcher. If your dog ignores the launch sound and just wants to chase the ball, release him to do so. If your dog seems concerned or anxious about the
sound of the Ball Launcher feed him a treat when he hears the machine. Keep him at a comfortable distance during launch until he appears relaxed and
unconcerned about the sound. Move closer to the machine at about 0.5 metres (1.6 feet) at a time and keep associating the sound with a treat.
Refer to the "Training Guide" section in the Operating Guide, available online at petsafe.com, for more information.
