Introduction

D-ball UP is a remote-controlled ejector of balls that serves for training of service
dogs, agility and regular training. D-ball UP is a great tool especially for training tracks.
Expectation of a “live” reward in the form of a shot ball motivates the dog to fulfil tasks
faster, more precisely and with joy. After each exercise, the dog will receive the reward
only if he deserves it.

The ball is ejected from the device by means of a remote transmitter at a distance of up
to 200 m and up to a height of 3 m. If the ejector is fastened upright with the included
strap or supported by the metal support in an inclined position, the range can be up
to 6 m. Low profile of the d-ball UP (105 mm) allows easy camouflage. The transmitter
can control up to 4 ejectors and can be combined with ball feeders d-ball. The system is
suitable for training centres and home use.
