Picture a crisp autumn afternoon: you've just launched the AFP Flying Mallard across the park, and your dog is already sprinting after it — instinctively tracking its arc, leaping into the air, and bringing it back triumphantly. That's exactly what this toy was designed to create, every single time. Q: How far can I really throw it? A: The adjustable thumb-release slingshot system lets you choose the launch distance between 10 and 32 feet. Whether you want a gentle toss for backyard sessions or a full-force launch for the beach, you're covered. Q: Will my dog get confused by all those bright colors? A: Not at all. The vivid mallard colors are chosen precisely so you and your dog can track it mid-air and on landing — reducing search time dramatically and keeping play moving fast. Q: Can we still use it in the water? A: Absolutely. The toy is both waterproof and buoyant, so lake days, pool sessions, or a trip to the beach are all fair game. No need to swap toys when the season changes. Q: Does it do anything besides fetch? A: It thrives as one, but the hunting-retrieval style of play it inspires also rewards mental engagement. High-energy exercise helps burn anxiety and boredom — and keeps your dog genuinely mentally sharp between sessions.
