Where has this thing been all my life? My beagle and I equally love the Chuckit! It saves my arm from getting sore after the many, many, many throws she asks of me and with the different ball designs (some have hair, some have googly eyes, etc.) available neither of us gets bored with the same old ball.  My only recommendation is that you take the time to check out all the sizes available and you choose the size that's the best fit for you.  The first one I got was a bit too long of a throwing stick and not as comfy for me to manage a slightly smaller version...however they are all easy to manage and it's just a matter of personal preference.  I highly recommend the Chuckit! launcher and accessories.
