He describes his invention as the first-ever recorded completely dog-operated tennis ball catapult.
Despite its simple mechanism, getting the design right wasn’t straightforward.
Just thinking and tinkering.
I tried to find plans on the internet and couldn’t, so I started playing around, hewrote.
According to avideoposted to his YouTube channel, he built the first iteration about 12 years ago.
The arm swings between them, and pivots on…a big nail.
The nail is at the top.
Paddle is indeed attached with an old hinge.
Above all, the catapult would be nothing without its clever operator and client.
George G. recounted that training his dog to use was surprisingly fast.
That video pretty much shows how long it took to teach her to use it, he wrote.
He posted a video of the catapult in action, showing the pup loading it by herself.
