GlowThrow Ball Launcher for Dogs


The GlowThrow promises to revolutionise the game of fetch allowing you to play with your dog in low-light conditions and even at night! 

If you live a hectic life and get home at dusk or much later, you know how hard it is to give your dog some good exercise! The GlowThrow is perfect for those dog owners who get home after dark and also people who happen to live in areas that get far less natural sunlight during the day, especially in winter!

WHAT IS THE INSPIRATION BEHIND THE GLOWTHROW?

A 12-month labour of love has seen the GlowThrow developed and tested by Lachlan Scott, a pet-centric lighting industry professional whose 7-year-old Whippet named "Chicken" simply loves night time walks! 

Lachlan Scott is an industrial lighting expert who has worked as the Project Development Engineer and Sales Manager for a global lighting industry giant recording annual sales of A$8.98 billion. 

“I worked very long hours and there can be so much emotion wrapped up in this as a dog owner. I felt so guilty working late. Our Whippet really has a way of tugging at your heart strings. I think it must be the same for every pet owner who also finds themselves in our situation,” expressed Lachlan Scott, the Director of GlowThrow. “


No matter how late my girlfriend or I get back home, the GlowThrow now allows us to get the most out of our walks! This has helped nurture the bond we have with our dog who feels so much like a part of the family. I guess a lot of people will be able to relate to our story.”

WHAT ARE THE GLOWTHROW MAIN FEATURES?

  • Super bright glow-in-the-dark ball for maximum visibility
  • High-powered LED light built neatly into the head of the launcher
  • LED light doubles as an illuminating torch when not charging the glow-in-the-dark ball.
  • A fortnight of daily night time dog walks from a fully charged rechargeable battery (1200m Ah Li-Ion)
  • Micro USB charger port to charge the battery
  • Exceptional ergonomic handle with over moulded rubber for secure grip comfort
  • Flexible neck for long throws
  • Fully sealed the launcher is cleanable under water


GlowThrow is designed with your dog's overall wellbeing and safety in mind.

It features a powerful inbuilt LED to charge the glow-in-the-dark ball whereby the LED and battery are located within the launcher rather than the ball. This eliminates the risk of dogs accidentally eating the electronics while playing fetch!

What's more, the unique design allows for a sustainable bright glow experience during every walk as the LED charges the Phosphor.

Excessive Dog Barking: Tips & Advice

Barking is a common, frustrating problem for many dog owners. It can cause anything from mild annoyance to neighbourly disputes to formal disciplinary council action. In addition to being hugely stressful to owners, nuisance barking is potentially very dangerous for the dog. Barking can sadly lead to harsh unnecessary punishment, erosion of the human-animal bond and a higher risk of surrender and premature euthanasia. In some extreme cases, barking can lead to dogs being maliciously poisoned.  For all these reasons, barking is an issue warranting solid understanding and appropriate intervention. Barking has previously received little exploration among the scientific community, despite being one of the most conspicuous features of dog behaviour. WHAT DOES BARKING MEAN? Barking is a vocal form of communication, used for both dog-to-dog and dog-to-people communication. However barking comes in many forms, has more nuances and carries far more information than we think.  Emerging research
