Secure Collar, Great Company

Bought to replace a cheaper brand I had. Very easy to use. Very happy with it. The sound could have been louder. My previous collar was insanely loud. I used to use it to find it more than anything else. The vibration also leaves a lot to be desired. But very happy with the battery life and charger. I broke the clip on the back of the remote control and the sporting dog customer service is fantastic!

Pros
  • OLED SCREEN: The easy to read screen means you can see your selected dog, static stimulation level and battery status at a glance.
Cons
  • Only available in white

Good product; great customer support when needed!

UPDATE: September 20, 2011 I contacted the company and after much communication and troubleshooting they found a problem with the collar receiver and sent a replacement free of charge as it is still under warranty /20 hat after only a year and a half stopped working. Charged only when the battery is low and used very little. When he worked he was great! But for over $170 I was hoping to get at least a few years out of it!

Pros
  • INCLUDES: Remote transmitter with detachable antenna, 3/4" collar receiver, power supply, standard contact points, long contact points, test light tool, lanyard and quick start guide.
Cons
  • I vaguely remember

Dog 1 and 2 buttons do not work properly

Great company and customer service. I have had a SportHunter collar for a number of years and bought a SportTrainer 575 to upgrade when we got our second dog. Of course, the design allows you to press the dog 1 button for dog 1 and the dog 2 button for dog 2, but it doesn't work that way. Both buttons simply switch to the other dog. So if the transmitter is on Dog 1 and you press the Dog 1 button, it will switch to Dog 2. Every time you want to switch, look at the little number on the screen to

Pros
  • WATER RESISTANCE: Can be submerged to a depth of 7.5 m thanks to DryTek technology.
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other picks

Battery life could be better

I have had this for 6 months prior to the date of writing this. While it does its job, we use it when we're in the yard just to let my dog run to the gate when it's open. Never had to use the shock function, at most a beep and vibration. That being said, I've had both cheap collars and more expensive collars and was unimpressed with the battery life of the collar itself. The remote control has a long battery life. A fully charged collar can last a few days even if we take it off and turn it off

Pros
  • 500 YARD RANGE: Designed for field training and short range hunting. Train up to 2 dogs with the same handheld remote when you purchase the optional Add-A-Dog Collar (SDR-AXF). For dogs 8 pounds and over with a neck circumference of 5 to 22 inches.
