  • New object anxiety: Some pets need time to accept unfamiliar equipment.

  1. Let them observe: Don’t turn it on immediately. Let your dog sniff and inspect it.
  2. Use positive association: Place treats around the launcher and reward calm behavior.
  3. Activate from a distance: Let them see the launcher working from a safe range.
  4. Gradually reduce distance: Step-by-step, bring your pup closer as they gain confidence.
