WHY I USE SPORTDOG BRAND
I use SportDOG Brand because of the toughness and reliability of the product. This, combined with their reputation for excellent customer service makes them an easy choice!
FAVORITE PRODUCTS
My favorite product is the SD-2525. It's the prefect training collar with its wide range in stimulation levels that can be easily adjusted on the fly while training. And the "quick buttons" for high, medium & low allow me to quickly choose a stimulation level I need immediately without fooling with a dial.
