SportDOG Products Review
Thursday, February 4, 2010
SportDog gear leads the field because they're always in the field. SportDOG Brand® is the kind of dog-training gear sportsmen would design and build for themselves if they ran the company, because sportsmen do run the company.
The PetSafe Sportdog in ground fence system is most effective for dogs over 10 pounds. On the components is a lifetime limited warranty and a proof for the true quality of the product. Do you have multiple dogs or just added new dog to your family? No problem with this system, just purchase an extra collar receiver and train your dog.
You can easily install the system and create the off limit areas in your garden for the dog. Because of this easy installment you save a lot of money that you otherwise spent on hired installers. You must really take the time to train your dog properly and invest some time in it. This is something you must be aware of before purchasing this system. All with all this system is very complete for a very reasonable price.
Pros: Effective, Easy to use, Improves behavior, Durable, Versatile
Best Uses: Active dogs, Large dogs, Work dogs, Hunting dogs

Reviews:
Very Easy to Set Up. Easy setup with the ground staples. We have almost an acre and it was plenty of wire to go around our whole property. Have not had any problems with training, our dog loves to be outside all of the time now and has not had any issues with him running through the fence.
We have 2 Dalmatians and a Black Lab/Pit Bull mix on 10.5 acres , with a pond. I made a circle that is 2500' feet long....this system works very well...my dogs are very active...they swim every day- this does not bother the waterproof collar. They don't just swim with the collars on - they attack (play) each other constantly...in the pond, on land, every day, all day! It only took about 1 week to train them, even with such a large area as I have. They do not challenge the collar, even though it is on it's lowest shock setting. This system is impressive, and my wife and I agree it was money very well spent!
Long-Ter Use. I bought my Sport Dog in ground fence about 3 years ago to use with my 1 year old boxer (Astro). It was awesome. It was easy to train and we were so impressed that my dad and my father in law both bought the same system for their property. We have quickly taught all three dogs the boundary at all three houses. Now I am going to buy a extra collar for my son in law's lab.
Expandable System to Add Multiple Dogs Later.I want to be able to add dogs to my collar system as my needs change. I don't want to have to sell my old system or send it in to have it altered. I also don't want it to cost a fortune. Another advantage of the new SportDOG collars comes in the way that you program the collars and the transmitter.
SportDOG In-Ground Fence
The SportDOG under ground fence is simple to install yourself and provides increased safety for your pet. The timeout between corrections is critical in decreasing the amount of time it takes to adequately train your animal. The dog-training collars come with variable settings so you can train big or small dogs quickly and safely. The electric fence is expandable up to 100 acres and allows your pet to roam while you relax. Their pet containment system is one of the most durable and effective electric dog fences available. Try a SportDOG collar today and sleep soundly tonight.
Review:
Great product. Easy to install, learn and use. I recently rescued a dog, and we live on a lake. We quickly discovered that she likes to swim away from our property and wonder to the neighbors. For fear of her getting lost (again), we needed a solution. This product immediately stopped that behavor. We simply laid a line along the lakeshore and she quicker learned to avoid the area. The only part I didn't like was that a "loop" was required. Since we only needed one straight line, this added a little more work. But all-in-all, it was VERY easy to install. Just took a few hours and it was up and running.
Just Easy. The instruction manual that came with the product gets a rave review from me. It was thorough, helpful and written in a straighforward language that was easy to understand. The product itself is well made. I was curious enough about the company that I actually checked the package for more information. We have an independent Great Pyrenees puppy that was wandering into neighboring properties. We wired about two acres of land and we are doing well. It is now 1 month after installation. Be prepared to work with the settings a bit to find the best match with your dog. Overall, I am very pleased and have already recommended the product to someone else.
SportDog Additional Receiver Collar & Remote Training Collar
The SportDOG additional collar is for use with your SportDOG In-Ground Fence system (SDF-100). This receiver collar features four adjustable correction levels plus beep and vibrate-only modes. The collar comes with two sets of contact points to match the length of your dog's coat. An unlimited number of dogs can be added to the SDF-100 dog fence system.
Review:
I would personally check....with your finger... the various levels prior to making a decision on your dog. Level 3 is substantial and should work on all but the more stubborn dogs. Level 5 would stop a full grown man.
Customizing your Transmitter: The most amazing part of the SportDOG SD-400 is the versatility in the transmitter. This unit is designed so that you can select the stimulation settings that fit your needs and you can change them if your needs change with out having to purchase a new unit.
SportDog Bark Control Collar
Since I have 10 dogs and close neighbors, it’s a must for me to have a reliable no bark collar. I’ve used them all,but I’m having very good success with the Sport Dog SBC10R. I set mine for progressive correction and let ‘er go - it’s almost magic! No accidential corrections. The unit is very durable and rechargable - no worring about replacing batteries. For me, this is the bark collar of choice.
The SBC-18 is a great tool that can be used by dog owners that want to reduce their pets' barking in a practical, yet humane way. It is one of the most technological advanced bark training collars in the market, and includes 18 levels of correction, which react to either sound or vibrations caused by barking, and can be used on dogs with necks that fall within the 6" to 28" range.
The collar always starts correction with the lowest level of static intensity, and it goes up to the next one automatically if the dog barks again within 30 seconds. Nevertheless, the collar will shut itself down automatically for three minutes if it detects at least 15 barks within 50 seconds.
The most popular features of the collar are the number of correction levels it provides, resistance to water and bad weather, a test mode that will save you trips to get it fixed, and a limited guarantee. And when it comes to looks, the SBC-10 comes in a great looking orange color.
The collar isn't recommended for dogs that are too aggressive. Do not use any other collar or object at the same time that the dog wears the SBC-18. For example, tether strings that can damage or activate the collar. In addition, the maximum number of hours you should make your dog wear the collar is 8. Finally, don't make your dog wear the collar too tightly in order to avoid rashes.
SportDOG Beeper Collars
SportDOG has set the bar extremely high with their electronic beeper collars. These revolutionary devices will allow you to know if your dog is on point even in the heaviest of cover. The beeper collars have several levels of controls and allow for single beep or silent beep while your dog is on the move. When they go on point you can adjust the electronic dog collar to emit a hawk scream to keep the birds from flushing before you are in position for a shot. As with all SportDOG products they are rugged, waterproof and made for the field. The SportDOG beeper collar will make you a more efficient hunter and will provide the exciting hunts you have been looking for.
Unlike any other product in the category, this remote beeper does not depend on a training collar to operate. You can use your transmitter to operate the remote beeper by itself, the training collar by itself, or both together if you need them.
This is a flexible training/hunting accessory that will fit your style. If you own a SportDOG UplandHunter 1850, the 1850 transmitter will operate all SDR-BEEP training collars and beeper functions remotely and allow you to run a second dog.
SportDog has a variety of products to suit your dogs needs, including SportDog training collars, SportDog shock collars, and SportDog bark collars. SportDog products are made to work for outdoor sporting dogs. Get all of them at Pet Street Mall.
