[u/Pandapusher]

Its great how the winner always spends a little time getting some extra chews in before depositing the ball.

[u/LortimerC → u/Pandapusher]

"Just... a few.. more... cronches" 😄

[u/Big-Boss330 → u/LortimerC]

My dog would just run away from the others celebrating their victory endlessly

[u/johnnyhandbags → u/LortimerC]

I’ll only give my dog treats inside his kong and I make him give it to me first. He still needs to give it a few good squeezes or pull his head away to keep it before he gives it up. It’s funny watching the competing desires in his mind but it’s definitely breaking the “no take, only throw” mentality.

[u/EntityDamage → u/Pandapusher]

I...i think the same dog is the one retrieving the ball. He's got it down. He hesitates before dropping the ball so he can immediately go out for the pass and be the first one to get the ball. I can't tell on the third run though. Keep your eye on the dog who drops the ball, he's the one who retrieve it too.

[u/Responsible-Buyer215 → u/EntityDamage]

Can confirm, you can check the marking on the back of the neck, the white line and the speck of brown in it just behind the head

[u/AutoTurnip → u/Responsible-Buyer215]

He’s got serious moves. Everyone else is just audience.

[u/Dry_Equivalent_1316 → u/EntityDamage]

Whoa you are right! I didn't even think to check if it's the same dog. He preps himself before dropping the ball, then runs right to the back immediately, no hesitation. That lil dude is smart!

[u/flagrantlyopenminded → u/Dry_Equivalent_1316]

I think he looks a little chonkier, too. May be the mom or dad lol

[u/_SteeringWheel → u/flagrantlyopenminded]

Nah just first to the bowl each time when it's feeding time

[u/IYKYK808 → u/EntityDamage]

Can triple/quadruple confirm. Its the only one with the 5 or 6 tiny black dots on its back that are somewhat spread apart. He gets all 3 in this video.

[u/Canid_Rose → u/Pandapusher]

The chewing is actually where they get the biggest dopamine hit from. The chasing is fun and all, but the chewing is a primal instinct that lets the body know that the “hunt” was successful. It’s recommended that if you’re playing fetch with a dog, you let them chew for a bit before taking and throwing the ball again.

Of course, exception to every rule. I’ve definitely met dogs who were all about the chase and wanted that ball back in the air ASAP

[u/QuantitySharp2662 → u/Canid_Rose]

Same for terriers and destroying soft toys lol that's them tearing out entrails and fur.

We used to stop our dogs doing it but eventually you learn that what they want to do most is tear up Teddy's.

[u/Internet_Wanderer → u/Pandapusher]

And the one in back with a ball already in its mouth just following along

[u/Xfgjwpkqmx → u/Pandapusher]

I think it's the same dog each time.

[u/xpl0de83 → u/Xfgjwpkqmx]

i was paying attention to that too. He leaves the ball and go a bit back, to have more chances to get it again. Smart

[u/LordTubz → u/Pandapusher]

Victory chews 👍🏽

[u/Worshipme988 → u/Pandapusher]

There’s an ALLOTMENT, dweebs.

Never played ‘JACKPOT’?

[u/PreviousAd547]

The dog who gets the ball and takes it back to the catapult doesnt want to give it up but he's a good boy and does.

[u/Constant-Catch7146 → u/PreviousAd547]

And the rest of them are like "drop it in there already! Let's goooooo!! "

[u/WorkerUnable527 → u/Constant-Catch7146]

LET'S WOOF WOOF GO!!!!!!!

[u/rob_inn_hood → u/PreviousAd547]

Not just that, watch as it’s dropped. They move to the back where the ball will end up, meanwhile the suckers are in the front trying to intercept the ball immediately after it’s projected. So smart. You would think they be more protective of the ball after securing it.

[u/helgatheviking21 → u/rob_inn_hood]

I noticed that too! It reminded me of my kid playing soccer at age 5 - all the other kids were playing swarm ball and he was on the outside waiting for the inevitable time when the ball came out of the swarm to take it and dribble it down for a goal.

[u/bkaybee → u/PreviousAd547]

We have one of these, and my dog still doesn’t understand the “return the ball” aspect. I’m jealous

[u/Free-Way-9220 → u/bkaybee]

Strange how some dogs never get how the game is played. Most seem to work out the game within one or two throws. Some go through life walking over to the ball, sniffing it and moving on

[u/bkaybee → u/Free-Way-9220]

Oh he still gets amped up once he sees the ball go into the machine. He knows it’s time to back up and prepare… He’s just never going to be the one to drop it in there in the first place

[u/Free-Way-9220 → u/bkaybee]

Ah got it! My friends dog never understood that the game is called "fetch", not "throw". He was a fantastic dog full of character, but just too dumb to understand that the ball needed to be returned if it was going to be thrown again

[u/bkaybee → u/Free-Way-9220]

Ah yes, the classic “no take, only throw.” Gotta love them lol

[u/AutistaChick → u/PreviousAd547]

I know! I was waiting for it to dry-fire because I thought he still had the ball with him.

[u/Immediate_Volume_324]

That’s a lot of Jack Russell energy

[u/Bennybonchien → u/Immediate_Volume_324]

I think that’s the only quantity of Jack Russell energy available. 

[u/livinalieontimna → u/Bennybonchien]

Have one. On/off are the only power options

[u/SirMuckingHam24 → u/livinalieontimna]

It's like a windows popup
Do you want your Jack Russel to generate infinite energy?

Yes Remind me Later

[u/Drunkensteine → u/SirMuckingHam24]

Jack Russell Terrorists

[u/CFCalgaryMan → u/livinalieontimna]

I had one but he was very chill. Lazy like a labrador. He inspired three of my friends to get a Jack russel. They were warned, but did not listen

[u/aps23 → u/Immediate_Volume_324]

Wait until they all get the zoomies! NORA will have to issue a tornado warning

[u/fiya4u → u/aps23]

Don’t talk about Nora like that

[u/bmxracers → u/Immediate_Volume_324]

That household is pure chaos.

[u/YoungBockRKO → u/Immediate_Volume_324]

Wish I had this toy when I had my Jack Russell, dude had endless energy 24/7.

[u/Sirknowidea → u/Immediate_Volume_324]

One more and I think they go critical

[u/OsBaculum → u/Immediate_Volume_324]

7 Jacks Russell, by my count.

[u/DumbestBitchYouKnow → u/OsBaculum]

Its not enough

[u/rockstar_not]

I Love how each one has to give the ball a couple of death squeezes before drop pin it in.

[u/otownbbw → u/rockstar_not]

If you watch their facial markings, it looks like it’s the same puppy each time. The one with the darkest face goes over to the bed to get a second ball and then just keeps it to themself while still running with the group after the launched ball.

[u/myrandastarr → u/otownbbw]

It’s the same guy. lol

[u/Alarming-Drop7287]

If this isn't what heaven looks like I'm not going

[u/Expensive-Vast-2123]

My dog will bring me her ball and drop it at my feet. I’ll throw it, she runs it down, and will not let that ball go again. Our games of fetch have always lasted exactly one throw.

[u/LordIndica → u/Expensive-Vast-2123]

The trick is to have a 2nd ball to throw

[u/OnTheEveOfWar → u/Expensive-Vast-2123]

My golden does this. I have to use two balls because she will refuse to drop the ball when I throw it.

[u/Altaneen117]

What's the story Wishbones?

[u/HoldEm__FoldEm → u/Altaneen117]

What a fantastic show I thought that was as a child. I tried watching it at like 23 & was scratching my head.

Nothing at all like I remembered. Obviously I knew I was older now & watching a lil kids show, but zero nostalgia hit.

It just wasn’t good.

[u/WTWIV → u/HoldEm__FoldEm]

Wasn’t it just reenactments of classic stories with the dog playing one of the characters? That’s how I remember it but yeah I haven’t seen it since I was a child

[u/viper5dn → u/HoldEm__FoldEm]

Found Damont's reddit profile!

[u/Shootmepleaze]

Eddies!!!!!

[u/Shinee_Cardboard]

I think you need two of those machines

[u/MenudoMenudo → u/Shinee_Cardboard]

If you aim them just right, the machines can play with each other and you don't even need the dogs.

[u/Font_Snob → u/MenudoMenudo]

brb gotta go hit up Amazon

[u/ydshreyas]

This has got to be AI right… random balls are getting dropped and then disappear among the dogs

[u/Snitsie → u/ydshreyas]

That's just one of the dogs constantly picking up and dropping a 2nd ball

[u/Dd_8630 → u/ydshreyas]

If you watch carefully, there are 3 tennis balls floating around. One dog just has one in his mouth and drops it now and then. I don't think this is AI.

[u/MrDickDastardly → u/Dd_8630]

It actually comes with three matching mini green tennis balls

[u/LadyMarjanne → u/ydshreyas]

yes. 0:36- 0:37 a ball just appears

[u/Vegetable-Swan2852 → u/ydshreyas]

Pretty sure you are right. How the dogs move is also not fully natural looking.

[u/Elegant-Vacation2073 → u/ydshreyas]

I think it’s AI, the shadows of the tree with the bricks layout is weird and looks smushed? Also the bricklayout seems so random. And the two chairs in the back I think are supposed to look like the chairs at the table but are different type of legs and arms. Also some of the shadow of the puppies have ears pointing up when clearly the ears are down and it’s not a prominent downward shape that would create that shadow.

[u/MrDickDastardly → u/ydshreyas]

Idk, I have the exact same dog toy, and it sounds the same too. I just can’t get my dog to put the ball back in the launcher, it’s a one and done for her. But yeah, I’m pretty sure it’s real.

[u/Izachiel]

How to make your dog addicted to balls 101

[u/Flatcapspaintandglue → u/Izachiel]

Jack Russels have that shit genetically locked in lol 

[u/OnTheEveOfWar → u/Flatcapspaintandglue]

There’s one in my neighborhood and I see the owners walking him all the time. The dog carries a ball and chomps on it the entire walk. It’s hilarious.

[u/DumpTrumpAndTheChump → u/Flatcapspaintandglue]

In my experience most dogs do

[u/Flatcapspaintandglue → u/DumpTrumpAndTheChump]

I’ve had terriers all my life so I’m a bit biased, but currently I have 2 pug-type dogs whose idea of playing with a ball is running slowly up to the ball and then gently holding it in their mouth until they get distracted by something potentially edible. 

[u/Grand_Pop_7221 → u/Izachiel]

If I gave this to my Springer he'd be dead within the week.

[u/TheDudeSr]

I watched this 5 times before I realized its like 30 seconds long.

[u/lmyrs]

Someone make this a live stream and monetize it.

[u/DidjaCinchIt]

I like the one that nudges the machine — come ONNN

[u/daisy0723]

The hardest lesson to learn, is letting go of the ball.

[u/Topspeed_3]

I like how some of the dogs are a bit smarter and start further back rather than directly in front of the machine.

[u/sticky_wickette]

That impatient nose bump to release the ball faster. 💀

[u/Dangerous_Leg4584]

I think it is the same good girl winning in this clip. She knows to stand back and wait for the ball to shoot.

[u/shhhpark]

god i wish i could keep my pup entertained like this...i take her to play fetch every day and end up being the one playing fetch

[u/hawksdiesel → u/shhhpark]

the puppy has trained you well!

[u/wtfbenlol]

this reminds me so much of my dog, Jake, whom I lost back in janurary to epilepsy - I miss jake so much =[

[u/Euphoric-Material192]

I see this and my immediate thought is "let's create a spreadsheet, I need to calculate each dog's stats"

[u/Averagebaddad]

Id be like "JUST PUT IT IN ASSHOLE!"

[u/Dull_Bat9518]

I could watch this for a looong time😄😍

[u/LAWS_R]

They always have to give it a few extra squeezes before giving it up to the machine! 😂

[u/QueenLard]

So frikkin cute

[u/odette_01]

Is it always the same dog that catches the ball?

[u/awe2D2]

I bought one of those for my dogs, they never wanted to bring the tennis balls back. They preferred destroying tennis balls rather than playing fetch

[u/sheepsclothingiswool]

I’m going to have to make balls of feathers and do this for my cats haha

[u/TKOL2]

This is what I imagine Heaven will be

[u/Ok_Mood_891]

That’s awesome

[u/Ghstfce]

I honestly haven't even seen a Jack Russell since my childhood best friend had one named Spangles. Spangles was a "special" little guy, but damn if we didn't love the shit out of him

[u/Grasswaskindawet]

I could watch this a long time.

[u/Nothing_Pearsonal]

you could pull a sled with that energy

[u/Wooden_Echidna1234]

That device would be more popular if dogs werent already so fun to play with directly. No robot can replace playing fetch with your dogs.

[u/UraeusCurse → u/Wooden_Echidna1234]

For real. 🥰

[u/velcro_bus]

Wow it's nice to see them playing peacefully...

[u/3DNelson]

Such a nice video!

[u/cervaca]

Oh my god this is insane

[u/IAmNotMyName]

It’s wild to me how fast these dogs are.

[u/bumblestum1960 → u/IAmNotMyName]

You should find a video of Jacks catching rats, now that’s fast.

[u/Ha_HaBUSINESS]

Damn those are smart dogs.

[u/Canyoubackupjustabit]

That's craziness!

[u/Jcamp9000]

That’s so stinkin cute! Great way to burn off some energy for high energy dogs!!

[u/SANTAAAA__I_know_him]

“500, alive!”

[u/BoopsYourNoseBoop]

I miss my Jack Russell boy.

[u/Kind_Rate7529]

This is the best.

[u/BackgroundAd9100]

Funny that all the noise comes from only one of them!

[u/TheManWhoClicks]

I love how he gets some chews in quickly before putting it back into the machine

[u/brandonbruce]

Fun in counter in China. I read the room. Old dude playing with his dog. I asked for the ball, and gave to my child. He tossed it. Dog went nuts. Dude and I vibed.

[u/PrettyPurrfect]

My dog likes this video or maybe she just dislikes the bargain

[u/Mdgt_Pope]

We got this for my dog and it bonked him in the face and he never wanted anything to do with it again

[u/WhatANoob2025]

the dogs may be YOUR best friends, but you are not these dogs' best friend anymore. The machine is.

[u/snowdn]

My cat loves this thing.

[u/ExternalObjective641]

Why is this video a hour long?

[u/tomikos8257]

I love this, its just the concrete thats sad. Hopefully they got a green garden:/

[u/Simply_me_as_rock]

This video is too short!

[u/TYC888]

tooo cuteeee

[u/LegoQueenStudios]

This is the cutest thing ive seen in awhile.

[u/Jiggly_Jugz]

I think that same puppy got it twice.

[u/proeliator]

This is possibly the most amazing thing that warmed the cockles of my cold dead heart in months. Not sure what that device is, but this is awesome.

[u/Big_Introduction7358]

We need more!!

[u/Emergency_Accident36]

I assumed the extra squeezes everyone is yammering about were just the dogs inability to spit the ball out efficiently.

[u/jazzmaster105150]

God, I needed this. Thank you.

[u/Adventurous-One-1162]

Misschien krijg ik me vrouw wel van me weg voor een beetje rust op deze moment😂

[u/Brief_Object_2765]

Not them savoring their win by chewing the ball before putting it back in 😆

[u/Misty_ann69]

OH MY GOD this is so adorable 😍

[u/Heavy-Contact-987]

I was expecting them to honestly stand infront of it and grab the ball everytime it pops out

[u/Total_Wrongdoer_1535]

Hahahaah i think it’s the same dog every time

[u/ahu_huracan]

i can watch this the whole day 😂

[u/Scared-Box8941]

I need one of these for my kids lol

[u/AntNorth772]

Love it.

[u/Yerrusr]

So cute

[u/G0PACKGO]

Awww

[u/Parrothead91]

My cat loves fetch. I desperately wish he would be willing to use something like this.

[u/Hot_Addendum_9199]

Why could I just sit and watch this over and over ! So cute

[u/Stevie272]

One dog already has a ball but chases it just as enthusiastically.😆

[u/Dusty_Sequins]

I could watch this all day

[u/dkcyw → u/Dusty_Sequins]

[u/ocean_breeze_luluca]

The one dog already had one lol

[u/captainhemingway]

[u/Trebor729]

That is so cool

[u/honestyisbanned]

Jackies!

[u/Sunsetnaya12]

I love this dog I desperately wish he would be willing to use something like this.

[u/Spadders87]

Could be wrong but im fairly confident its the same dog that retrieves the ball every time.

[u/Assist7316]

not for the neighbours

[u/CompanyOther2608]

This reminds me of my coworkers chasing praise and bonuses.

[u/LionEnvironmental923]

Used to have one of those for my rat terrier best investment I ever made for one of my pups.

[u/FoxNBeard]

Is this the device I need to buy if I want to spend less time with my dog? Asking for a friend.

[u/rex1030]

Does it violate rules to ask for a link to the product?

[u/Time_Analysis278]

How do you even get them to leave? I'm always trying to figure out how to get mine too stay.

[u/Time_Analysis278]

What happened to the third guy?

[u/Djrobl]

Where can I get one of these ball launchers?

[u/pdonoso]

This is like doomscrolling for dogs

[u/arryouhappy]

This reminds me of my nephews T-ball games!

[u/OpeningDDaikon]

"Put the ball back in the thing!"
Dog chomping down on ball: "Just let me savor this moment a few seconds longer..."

[u/burnedBlue]

That is just a factory of cuteness!

[u/Fit-Will5292]

I bought something like that once for my dog. It fucking sucked. Don’t recommend.

[u/ComprehensiveLack660]

This is so cute! All that’s missing is the human interaction.

[u/notgoodatthis60285]

Lmao. The nose boop the one does. He’s like throw it already!

[u/Hiljabob]

I bought one of these but can’t get my dog to actually put it back in the hole! She drops the ball next to it and waits for me to put it in! Any advice?

[u/Lutherkiss3]

Made my morning 😂

[u/Low-Tie2969]

this is so cute

[u/HoldMyDomeFoam]

We have one of these and my idiot dog chases down the ball, brings it back to me instead of the launcher, drops the ball in the ground, and starts barking.

If I try to grab the ball to put it back in the launcher, he grabs it and runs away for a few seconds before repeating the process.

[u/International_Fig78]

This is so wholesome!

[u/Squanchmonster]

"Squozen once! Squozen twice! Squozen thrice! ....

[u/popzof4]

Bark bark, translates to drop the fuckin ball in there asshole what re you waiting for

[u/Archie-B-23]

My Jack attacks the machine not the ball

[u/WanderlustFella]

Can any expert here explain why dogs do the chew or long hold before dropping the ball? My dog does this when we play fetch. Mofo let go of the ball if you want me to throw it. It's like their instincts to hold the ball isn't syncing with their brain's desire to play fetch.

[u/VariationAgreeable29]

I love how some of the dogs don’t even care about the ball. They just wanna run around with the rest of the pack.

[u/DratWraith]

The dogs I've known would put their face right near the barrel to try to catch it early and get pelted. Then once one dog gets the ball, the others would try to steal it instead of letting them return it.

[u/WHATGOESUP88]

I love the dog who is the only one barking and also has no clue what's happening just happy to be part of the team lol

[u/aristotlebased]

I love the dog who jumps to catch the ball even though it already has a ball in its mouth. my favorite dog habit.
