Why I Use SportDOG Brand
When I started training, I bought a SportDOG 'cause it was affordable. I soon found out SportDOG products are tough and reliable. SportDOG will stand by their product and are easy to reach when you've got a question. I enjoy being able to make corrections on multiple dogs with one remote. SportDOG has also been a supporter of Tennessee's Wildlife Agency. Our agency has recently started a K-9 program and has used SportDOG gear. These officers and their dogs have quickly earned respect from the sportsmen in Tennessee.
