This apparatus was bought by my husband for our dog. 
Although I suspected all along he would enjoy it more than her - 
and so far that is true. 
She is terrified of the noise the K9Kannon makes - but thankfully is so well ahem trained, that she does bring back the ball in spite of her fear. 
Good girl.

We've had an even longer walk this morning (making the most of being off) and it was glorious.

Now for an afternoon of chores before heading out to see Wonder  with friends at the local cinema.
