Why I Use SportDOG Brand

I feel all the products are made with commonsense in mind. I particularly like the 425x remote trainer for all my clients. The remote is small and fits in the pocket or your hand with ease. Most importantly, you can use it with ease by clicking through the dial and know exactly what level you are on without looking at the remote. This allows you to never take your eyes off the dog, so the collar and level are used at exactly the right times. Many other remotes on the market don’t provide this basic feature – you are not exactly on the right level you want it could range from 35-45 for example. The stims and the vibration on the SportDOG collar are also better. For those that aren’t aware, these can vary from brand to brand.

Favourite Products

Whilst the 425x is my go-to with just one or two dogs, I mostly use the 1825x so I can be across up to 6 dogs at any one time.
