Checked with customer service, for some reason they “are not aware” of the new releaser electronics. What’s up? Been waiting for this. I have been a loyal customer, but want to use releases with my existing sport dog products.
We are not sure. Perhaps you were speaking with someone who is in training. We do not offer the launchers for sale yet. We are still in the field testing phase, but expect them to be at retail later this year.
I’ve been shopping around for collars and I thought the SD-825 has been around…I’m confused now, is this a new version?
Also, it comes with a DVD guide and lanyard, right?
Yes. The SD-825 is the newer version of our SD-800. Same 1/2 range and 3 dog capability but lots of added features including 2 hour charge, vibration as a correction type and it’s much smaller.
