Auto fetch and devices

[lunkerslayer]

Has anyone bought an auto fetcher for their dogs to use? I'm exclusively a chuck it guy, and like the idea of being able to throw the ball at a greater distance then with just my arm. But having a lab that can outlast you is tiresome. So I'm reaching out to others who have tried other gadgets for those long stamina man's best friends.

They don’t throw very far and would teach way too many bad habits for me to consider.

Yeah I figured kurtr that would be an issue as well, you would be in a different boat since your dog gets lots of exercise with training and hunting. Do you use a apparatus to help throw your dogs ball farther or do you just tain exercise? Buck can fetch continuously for 15 to 20 minutes then recoup and then go hard again. I couldn't imagine what he could do if I couldn't throw the ball farther without the chuckit the time would be even longer.

i never throw balls or sticks for my dogs, just dummies. ive been using a dummy launcher that uses 22 short blanks.
