SportDOGBrand FieldTrainer 425X Remote Trainer - 500 Yard Range - Waterproof, Rechargeable Dog Training Collar with Static, Vibrate, and Tone

This collar is fabulous. We actually have two of them for our two miniature dachshunds. They have worked wonderfully when training our boy to stay in our yard. We live in the country and there are all kinds of wild life around. They are both now trained when they here the beep or feel the vibration to come to us. You have had to use the electrical shock a few times but no more. I didn't like to use it but i feel it has saved their lives.We did have trouble with the remote control but customer servicee is wonderful. They sent us a new remote, pairing it with the collar you have is simple.It fits them well with no issues that way, the vigration level is perfect for our pups and as for the range they always respond. Its also kind of funny our 2 year old responds when he hears our 1 year olds beep without even having his on.The picture shows are 1 year old Toby resting comfortably with it on.Don't hesitate, if you need a collar, get this one or I imagine any of their collars.

I struggled with my reactive dogs ever since they were pups. Whom grew up during Covid times so they got little to no socialization.I don’t have the means for a trainer, and the idea of collar trainers seemed cruel. Until I decided I would give it a try on my 5 year old pups, because our quality of life was not the best. We avoided places where we would find people or dogs. Because they would tug, bark which made it seem they were aggressive.I read the Manual, and began our training.The results? Instant!After just day 1 we were able to walk around our apartment property with people around us and they were actually not reacting. It was incredible to see.Fast forward a month in now, and our quality of life as improved so much. They pretty much go with me everywhere, I trust them more and they trust me to be their leader. They listen to my commands and I only have to tell them once without really utilizing the collar now. I should have done this sooner.I recommend anyone who is going through a similar experience with their pups. It will change your life for sure!

I bought this because our Lab/Irish Setter mix dog can run free thru the woods around our home. SOmetimes he does not come back as quickly as I'd like. After setting this up and following almost all of the teaching in the training manual, this worked like a charm. However one day, I noticed that the receiver was not receiving a signal. I tried it on my arm and nothing. I checked to make sure everything was charged, read how to fix it in the booklet and got stumped. I called customer service and a very nice man patiently walked me thru how to re connect collar to transmitter. He also sent me a link on how to reset things if it ever happens again. I greatly appreciate good efficeint customer service and Sport Dog service was exceptional.

This one is hard, I want to give it 3 stars, but I went 4 as it does work well, and my dog responds well to it. My issue with it is battery life is TERRIBLE. I must remind myself to charge it every day or at a bare min every 2 days. And if you go beyond that it shuts itself off without warning and this is with little to no use.I mainly use this to monitor my dog off leash on our rural farm property to keep her out of zones I don’t want her in. I don’t use the static correction often if at all and mostly use the beep or tone. I use it maybe once or twice a day and it still dies.I had an older version from the early 2000s (Same brand) that used the rechargeable NIMH battery, and you would place it on the wall mounted charger, and it was fantastic and would last weeks. This is not the same and I wish I could have found a replacement battery for my old one instead, but I opted or a new unit. Just beware of the very small and weak batteries in these.

My remote stopped working for no reason. HOWEVER. . . . I called Sport Dog customer service. I spoke with Zoe and it was THEEEEEER BEST customer service experience I have had in many many many years. She was nice, very professional and addressed my issue immediately. She sent me a new remote under warranty at no charge. THANK YOU SPORTDOG CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!
