While Continuous static and/or Momentary static stimulation may be
unpleasant, it is harmless to your dog. Electronic training devices require
interaction and training from the owner to achieve desired results.
Your dog should be able to learn basic obedience commands such as
"Sit" or "Stay". The system should only be used with dogs over
6 months of age. The Collar Receiver may be too large for dogs under
3.6 kg. If your pet is injured or its mobility is otherwise impaired,
contact your veterinarian or professional trainer before use.
Your dog may need to wear the Collar Receiver from time to time for
reinforcement. Also, many hunters keep the Collar Receiver on their
dogs while hunting for maximum control.
Yes. If the rechargeable battery pack ever needs to be replaced, make
sure the o-ring and o-ring groove are free from dirt and debris.
Yes. However, if the Collar Receiver is used in or around salt water, it
should be rinsed with fresh water following each use.
Yes. The SportTrainer® SD-425E Remote Trainer is expandable to a
maximum of 3 dogs. SportDOG® Add-A-Dog® Collar Receivers must be
purchased. Please refer to the back cover for a list of compatible
Collar Receivers.
We do not recommend any of our products to be used on aggressive
dogs. We recommend you contact your local veterinarian or professional
trainer to determine if your dog might be aggressive.
The range you get with your SportTrainer® SD-425E Remote Trainer
will vary according to terrain, weather, and vegetation as well as
transmission from other radio devices. To get the maximum amount of
range, please refer to "How the System Works" section of this guide.
The maximum amount of time you can press the Continuous Static
Stimulation Button and deliver static stimulation to your dog
continuously is 10 seconds. The maximum amount of time you can
press the vibration button and deliver vibration stimulation continuously
is 10 seconds. After 10 seconds, the Remote Transmitter will "time-out"
for 5 seconds and the button must be released and pressed again. Tone
stimulation will be delivered as long as a Tone button is pressed
This condition is due to the Contact Points irritating the skin.
Discontinue use of the Collar Receiver for a few days. If the condition
persists beyond 48 hours, see your veterinarian. Once the skin returns
to normal, resume use and monitor the skin condition closely.
Yes. This prevents accidental changes in intensity and encourages an
optimal waterproof seal. The knob will "break in" and be slightly easier
to turn as you use it.
DO NOT attach a lead to the SportTrainer® SD-425E Collar Receiver.
You may put a separate non-metallic collar on your dog's neck and
attach a lead. Be sure the extra collar does not interfere with the
Contact Points.
Yes. You can program your SportTrainer® SD-425E Remote Trainer to
work with SD-425CAMO, SD-1825CAMO, SD-1875, SD-3225,
SD-825E, SD-1225E, SD-1825E or SD-1875E systems.
Because the SD-425E operates at a different frequency, it is not
backwards compatible with any other SportDOG® Brand systems.
In the rare event this occurs, you can change your Remote Transmitter's
ID Code. See the "Change ID Codes" section to solve this issue.
