And most likely contains a chemical known in the state of California to cause cancer...

I particularly liked when the dog checked the tension of the resistive band.

It has a sensor that feedsback "no ball". Did you notice the dog not wanting to give it up at the last second?? My dogs would try to tear the machine up. I need to replace two more sprinkler heads in my back yard. They love to attack them They also HATE the automatic pool skimmer. The can't get to the skimmer when it's in the pool but the moving, vibrating hose is fair game

Thats cool, when the dog really falls in love with the ball it grabs it back from the machine and the machine just go back to the 'rest' position. If he trusts a dachsund and a toddler with it, its gotta be pretty safe. Also, I trust a guy who can write that much computer code!

I think my dog would be very afraid of it haha.

Whenever I try to get my dogs to play fetch, they give me this "why should I go get that, you'll just throw it away again" look...

Haha, that sounds familiar
Then again, my dog is starting to get a little old, so can't blame him i guess..
...but then again, he's always been a lazy bugger
