Stop ‘em in Their Tracks - The Sportdog 800
August 31, 2009 on 6:55 am | By admin | In HomeAs a trainer I’ve used a lot of different training collars to train hunting dogs. One of the best and simplest to use is the SportDOG 800 training collar. It has a range up to a mile, and you can adjust the intensity to accommodate the most timid to the most stubborn dog. Unlike many others, this system emits a beep just before the electronic burst; so over time the dog learns to respond to just the beep. This collar also has a rechargeable battery that gives up to 20 hours of use from each charge, and it is particularly effective stopping a dog that has set off after the game before he causes a feathery disaster. So with a long-range transmitter, 8 levels of intensity, and rechargeable battery all in a waterproof unit, this is the collar that I choose to train my hunting dogs every time.
