Can
the GoDogGo shoot balls other
than tennis balls?
Yes, the new GoDogGo G4 released
in 2016 works with small, medium
and large tennis balls, as well as
other ball types and materials
(eg, racquet balls, Chuckit balls,
etc). Ball sizes from 1.8" to 2.5"
work with this machine and the
bucket will hold up to 25 small
balls. Please visit the USA GoDogGo Facebook
site (see discussion page) for
more information about different
balls and recommendations to
achieve desired distances. You may
also choose balls which offer less
height and distance for use
indoors or small back yards.

I
have a small backyard, how far
does it shoot the balls?
The machine can be adjusted to
shoot the ball between 5 and 10
metres in distance (can shoot as
far as 14 metres depending on
conditions). This is adequate to
work nicely in most backyards or
in open spaces like a park. |
|
|
| |
Does
it run off batteries or
electricity?
Actually it can run off either. It
can take 6 D size batteries (also
takes rechargeable) or you can
plug it into a standard power
outlet. |
|
|
| |
How
often do the balls shoot out?
You can either set the balls to
shoot out every 4 seconds, 7 seconds or 15
seconds. Alternatively you can use
the remote to shoot a ball
whenever you press the launch
button. |
|
|
| |
What
is the best way to set the
machine up ?
We find putting 17 balls in the
bucket and setting the machine
to shoot every 15 seconds gives
the dogs enough time to retrieve
the ball and return it to the
base of the machine before it
shoots the next one. After 17
balls we find the dogs are
panting and usually the balls
are neatly gathered around the
base of the machine.
However,
another method is to put just
one ball in the bucket and set
the machine to launch every 7
seconds. If you can train your
dog to place the ball in the
bucket (we successfully trained
a Maltese in approximately 5
hours), then your dog can
continuously play with the
machine and it becomes
interactive.

How
long will batteries last with
GoDogGo?
GoDogGo will operate with either
an AC adapter (included) or on 6 D
batteries (not included). On
batteries, GoDogGo G4 will run for
approximately 25+ hours. You can
also use GoDogGo on rechargeable
batteries. |

|
| |
Is
GoDogGo dangerous?
GoDogGo is not a child's toy.
Tennis balls launch from the unit
at high speeds. Be sure you or
your dog are not directly in front
of launcher when unit is turned
on. There is a safety sensor that
is sensitive to the weight of the
balls and is located in the pocket
where the balls are launched from.
Do not touch the safety sensor
when the machine is turned on and
there are no balls in the launch
pocket. After following the simple
safety rules, GoDogGo is lots of
fun! |

GoDogGo
is so unique. Has it won any
awards?
Why Yes! GoDogGo was named one of
the Best Pet Products by Pet Age
and Dog World magazines! |
|
|

Can
I train my dog to put the balls
back in the GoDogGo bucket for
continuous play?
Well, you can try! Actually, it's
not as hard as it sounds. With
each unit we include some tips on
how to train your dog to do it.
Good luck! |
