SportDOG SportTrainer Remote Trainer - Reliable Off-Leash Control - OLED Screen - Waterproof Dog Training Collar - Rechargeable E-Collar - 500-Yard Range - Orange

I am not a advocate on shocking your dog but if your dog is stubborn on learning like staying in yard or barking for no reason this device works and once your dog is trained on it you don’t have to shock them you can use the beep feature also that feature is great for training

I previously owned a much cheaper shock collar which functioned but after a year, no longer held a charge.This one has a much more solid build than those. The quality is evident. I was torn between a few different models from Sport Dog and decided this one had the most flexibility.First, I wanted the ability to use either the audible beep, vibration or shock. I also wasn’t sure what level of shock was needed for my 70 lb Golden who is mild mannered but occasionally very stubborn. This one provided all 3 levels to allow me to find the right level. Turns out, it only took low at level 3 to get his attention.I like that it’s orange, in case I misplace it— easier to see where I dropped it. Like the screen, it provides exactly the info I need (shock level, battery remaining)What I really like is that it’s water proof. My dog loves to swim, run in the snow, splash in mud puddles, etc and I don’t worry about having to take off the collar for those environments.As far as the shock, I only had to give him the juice twice. The first time, I had it set at medium and dog nearly jumped in the air when I hit the button. From there, I only needed to grab the remote and he knew I meant business and would follow the command provided.A few weeks passed and only a beep was needed to correct him. Then he decided to test the boundaries again as he ignored a command to stop as he was headed towards a place I didn’t want him to go. Hit him with the zap, at a much lower level then previously used. He stopped in his tracks and returned immediately. Have not had to provide any correction since.Overall, it’s expensive but it’s good quality with huge range, lots of options and the battery seems to last forever between charges. It is well worth the piece of mind it provides when hiking with my dog, off-leash.

Use this only when needed. Nice backup if dog decides not to be come or not behave. Just seeing the remote my dog is totally submissive & willing to please. Love the bright orange!

The collar works great, my dog responded to it perfectly. But, my compliments go out to customer service. Carol was fantastic!!!! She answered my questions, while we had a lovely conversation. I was treated with respect and felt so at ease, not always treated this well with other company CS. I highly recommend this product and have alreadybought a second collar for another pup.

Make sure the antenna is tight before you head out. I lost that my first time out and about $30 to replace. I let my dog run off leash when we are off trail in the forest setting. The beep signals her to return. I also use a whistle and a ‘hey’ command for her return. I use the beep and ‘drop it’ command. It also helps her not chase deer when I say NO!, she listens. These things were hard to teach a young, energetic spaniel. She is learning quickly now. I’m am able to start to bike with her and know she won’t run off. You can program the buttons to do different things—we mainly use tone and vibrate. We use this device everyday for at least an hour and the battery lasted about 3 months before I had to charge it. This device has worked great and the distance seems to work good even in the trees in hilly terrain. I have used other similar products—make sure you get one with plenty of range. It doesn’t take long for a dog to range out. I recommend this device—it has everything I needed.
