Have you ever been throwing the ball for your dog, you finish and your arm, elbow or shoulder is just killing you? There are devices in the dog tool market that can help with this. Not only do they make it easier to throw a ball for your dog but they allow you to throw the ball farther with little to no effort, muscle strain or pain.
The Chuckit is one of those devices that you just have to have if you have a ball chasing crazed dog like I have. A device that gives you the ability to throw a ball until your dog has gotten sufficient exercise without having to go home and nurse a sore arm, is truly a ‘Gift from the Gods’. Young pups and dogs need lots of exercise and if you can get your dog fetching a ball getting out for some quick running is made all that much easier. The devices that give you the advantage of throwing a dog ball farther with greater ease are a tool for consideration.
The Chuckit dog ball thrower is one of the most simply designed of the entire dog ball launching devices is about the most cost effective and it works very well at what it is designed for. The ball thrower is a single piece of molded plastic, curved with a handle at one end and a cup to hold the ball on the other. You use it by swinging the Chuckit, stop suddenly and the ball will fly out of the cup. You can even pick up the ball with the cup end without bending over, if your dog will drop the ball long enough for you to try. You get surprisingly long distances and have pretty good control. There is a bit of a learning curve but no more than a dozen or so throws to get used to it.
The company makes different lengths of ball throwers for shorter to longer distances. There is three sizes in the ball cup size for small, regular tennis ball size and extra large for those giant breeds. The company also makes a fine line of balls to choose from; regular balls, ones that whistle, ones that glow, some that float and some with sharp edges so they will bounce erratically and most of these are made in all three sizes. The regular balls although make like tennis balls are heavier, thicker, and stronger and will last longer than a regular tennis ball.
The Chuckit dog ball thrower is for anyone that wants to enjoy some quality time with their dog and not have to take a nap afterwards. It could work well for handicapped owners and I know it works great for older owners. I once saw a lady in her eighties at the beach with a young golden retriever. She was able to give that pup a workout and have a nice conversation with me at the same time. This amazing dog tool can be had for less than ten dollars if you look around.
