Some will happily retrieve a stick all day. Others will saunter up to a thrown stick, sniff it, and stare back at you wondering why you'd thrown away such a neat toy.

Solution: This rubberised and bendy device can be bent into various shapes: From a cylindrical 'stick' to a aerodynamically shaped boomerang.

Simply adjust the shape to best match your dog / their mood and temperament, and throw it.

Example settings:

Hub-chaser: Stick shaped - You may need the exercise if your dog doesn't.

Pointer: Semi-Boomerang. He'll get the exercise, and wait near-by for you to catch up.

Dachshund: Boomerang - Won't have to go too far, but is encouraged to chase.
