Safety
The GoDogGo has many different safety features to keep your beloved dog safe.
Launch Angle
The GoDogGo G4 launches balls at the optimal upward trajectory to avoid launching the ball at the dog. This is a great safety feature. Even with this feature though owners should train their dogs stand a few feet back from the launcher to avoid hitting the dog.
Sensors for Safety
Sensors are built into the GoDogGo G4 unit that sense when a ball is ready to be launched. The motor in the unit does not continuously run. The motor turns on only when a ball is loaded or returned to the bucket. This keeps your dog from getting a ball launched soon after it’s returned to the bucket.
Remote Control can to select a time settings or to launch a ball at will for owner-controlled play. GoDogGo operates WITHOUT the remote when set for automatic play & is NOT NEEDED to operate the Fetch Machine.
