The iDogmate mini automatic ball thrower is specially made for smaller dogs that are less than 15kg. It works with 1.5-inch mini rubber balls. If you have a larger dog, you’re better off choosing a launcher that is capable of throwing bigger balls at a further distance. However, not all trainers would encourage dogs to fetch balls, as it can encourage ball obsession. A dog is showing signs of addiction if he constantly demands you throw the ball for him, and does not show any sign of fatigue at chasing the ball even when he’s done plenty of exercise.
