SportDOG FieldTrainer 425XS - Remote Trainer Designed for Off-Leash Control & Training - for Stubborn Dogs - 500-Yard Range - Waterproof - Quick-Charge Collar - Static, Tone, & Vibration

This product is AMAZING, the fact that it is waterproof is no joke, this collar belongs to my daughter for her dog, they live on my house. Today while the dog was in my care I inadvertently threw the remote for the collar in the washing machine. Oops! It is still working without even a hiccup. I thought I would have to buy a new one but to my surprise it’s working perfectly. Highly don’t recommend putting it in a washing machine but if you had questions on the waterproof feature, your question is now answered! We are working on keeping her from barking at all the neighborhood people and dogs and all it takes is the lowest setting and she stops and she is 80 pounds, just under a year old.

I recently purchased the Sports Dog Collar, and it has been great. The collar is sturdy and especially valuable at the dog park. I only use the sound and vibration options, and my dog responds immediately with no training required. At the park, this has been a game-changer. When my dog starts to run towards a skirmish or potential fight, a. press of the sound button brings her running back to me. This alone makes it worth the price! The only downside is that there is no way to know when the power is running low. I have to remember to charge it regularly. Another issue I had with the first collar was that it stopped working. When I noticed that my dog wasn't responding, I tested it on myself and it wasn't functioning. However, the company's customer service was excellent...I spoke with a very helpful representative who walked me through troubleshooting. When it was clear that the unit had failed, she quickly arranged to send me a brand new set. The replacement works perfectly, and I appreciate the responsiveness and support of their customer service.

This is the Best dog E collar trainer hands down! Especially if you have a stubborn dog. Don’t waste money on other brands. I’ve tried several brands before finding this one. Only regret is not finding it sooner! The range on this is also amazing! Battery life is only about 2days, wish it was longer. Ease of remote is very easy

I have been searching for a well balanced e-collar to add an additional level of training for my dog, especially for off leash work where I am attempting to move away from long leash training and still make my dog accountable for obedience. This collar is wonderful; I want to start with that right off the bat. I had originally tried the 425X model and then switched to the 425XS model after I noticed that my dog had no reaction to the max output on the 425X, so I tried the "stubborn dog" version. It most definitely works and gets his attention. However, that's the issue, is it is too strong. This e-collar sits at a middle of the pack price range compared to more expensive options like the mini educator and dogtra offerings and as such has some downsides. The only downside really in my opinion though, is the lack of true range. This collar only has 21 different "power levels" when on the low, medium, or high mode set on the actual collar. When compared to other brands which have over 100 settings often, this model can seem lacking. Ultimately, this collar did not work for my dog and my needs as a trainer. I find myself looking for something with more sensitivity adjustment to really work with my dog. As the manual for these say, you DO NOT want to be stimming your dog so hard they are in pain or uncomfortable. The goal is to get their attention using the bare minimum and to save the real high intensity modes for moments when they are extremely distracted. These are built well and seem like they would've lasted for a few years of heavy use. Easy and simple to use, three buttons for three powers, and a physical dial to switch between the varying intensities. Decent battery life and good signal between collar and controller. I say try this if you are curious or thinking of e-collar training and see if it works with your specific dog. For many, this will serve just as well as a $200+ e-collar.

Mi perra ladraba incesantemente. Ahora ya no ladra. El collarín Sportdog Brand 425 es excelente. Se puede graduar a la intensidad necesaria.

Received item and was not paired and would not work. Contacted seller and they sent me new transmitter, still didn't work. Called them back and they sent a new collar to see if that would work and it did. Very happy with product and customer service is fantastic. No sence looking elsewhere.

This is a really nice collar. I would highly recommend it for quality alone. I was looking for one that had an auto bark shock or vibrate and this one did not.

Well documented and clear instructions. Good product.

Great product just didn’t work on my larger fluffy dog.
