Keeps them busy while you get on with something else.
Drop the ball in, it launches, your dog chases it down and brings it back for a treat. The loop runs itself, which is the point — indoor dogs with unspent energy find their own entertainment otherwise, usually in your shoes.
Treat dispensed on return — motivates the bring-back
Self-play once learned — no human required
Small and medium dogs
Indoor or garden use
Burns real energy. Best used before you leave the house, not after.
