Why I Use SportDOG Brand
Reliability is the number one reason I use SportDOG Brand. I know I can rely on the product when I'm training, I never have to second guess if the battery's going to last all day, if the collar's going to work or if it’s going to have a glitch. I want a product that I can take off the charger and go training and never have to think about it and that's exactly what SportDOG brand collars and transmitter have given me peace of mind.
Favourite Products
I'd have to say I've got two products that I reckon I'll have in me training kit for yonks. The first would have to be me SportDOG 1825 series E-Collar, I don't reckon I could ever switch to another collar and be chuffed. I love the ability to tweak me collar's capabilities with a simple button press, so I can have exactly what I need for that specific situation.
The second product would have to be SportDOG's remote launcher system. The ability to run 9 launchers with one receiver is amazing and makes my day a lot easier as a trainer and allows me to have more flexibility and training options.
