Chuckit Fetch Toys

paws — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 20:07:10 +0000

The award-winning original Chuckit! Ball Launcher is a total revolution in fetch technology, designed for hands-free ball pickup without bending over, and throws the ball 3 times farther than you can with your arm. Use the Chuckit! Ball Launchers with all Medium Chuckit! compatible balls.

Directions

Here’s How to Chuckit!
There’s a learning curve of 10-20 throws.

Find an open area, away from people, animals and buildings. With the ball in the Chuckit!, grip the handle firmly.

Extend your arm back over your shoulder until the ball is behind you. Then swing it forward in a smooth arc. Remember to follow through.
The Chuckit! will release the ball when you swing it fast enough.

Techniques:

Aim High – the Chuckit! tends to throw the ball downward. Don’t watch the Chuckit! while you throw. Instead, look where you want the ball to go.

Pick It Up
Holding the handle of the Chuckit!, place the ball claw over the tennis ball and press down firmly. The Chuckit! will grab the ball and hold on.

Chuckit Medium 18m

Chuckit Medium 25m

Chuckit Jr

Extra Balls:

Medium balls (fit all sized Chuckits we carry)

Chuckit Small Balls (these are smaller than the Chuckit Throwers we offer, but are great for smaller pups)
