Dog Training Collars Warranty Guide

All of the remote dog training collars that we sell come with a 30 day money back guarantee. Gun Dog Supply covers this period of the product. If you have a problem inside the first 30 days contact us, and we will get it straightened out.

After the first 30 days then the manufacturer's warranty picks up.

Comparing warranties from one company to another is tricky.

Tri-Tronics and Dogtra have very simple warranties that last for a set period of time (one to two years depending on the product). After that period is over, if your system needs out of warranty service it can be repaired for a fee.

SportDog and DT Systems have "Lifetime" warranties on many of their products. These products are completely covered (parts and labor) during the first year. After the first year, you will have parts covered, but not labor.

Innotek products have a one year parts and labor warranty but they require a service fee with warranty repair in the first year (costs are dependent on the processing time and the desired shipping options).

Many Innotek products have a "Limited Lifetime Warranty." After one year from date of original retail purchase, they will repair, replace or upgrade your product at a fixed rate based on the component.

To me the "Lifetime" concept isn't that different from what Tri-Tronics and Dogtra offer since you will be paying something for the service. The difference is in how much you are going to pay.

For example - the Tri-Tronics Sport 50 comes with a two year parts and labor warranty. The Tri-Tronics repair price for a Sport 50 out of warranty is $75 (as of May 2004)

The SportDog 2400 comes with a one year parts and labor warranty. After the first year the "Lifetime" warranty has a service fee of $45 per component (as of May 2004)

The Innotek ADV 1000 comes with a one year parts and labor warranty. After the first year the "Limited Lifetime" warranty has a fee of 10% to 20% above wholesale cost of the component that needs repair (as of May 2004)

Which one is better? Well, that depends on how you look at it. Repair prices will increase over the lifetime of your unit, but wholesale costs and service fees will also go up. Repairing electronic components will always be expensive and if you plan on using your unit for many years (5 to 10 years) you should plan on having to spend some money on it in the future no matter which warranty you go with.

Also keep in mind that electronics will improve over time. For example if you have a 10 year old Tri-Tronics collar today that needs repair it will run you around $110 for service but because of improvements in technology, you could purchase a much nicer Tri-Tronics collar for $239.

I look at warranties as a way to protect the consumer from faulty products and manufacturer defects (both uncommon problems in the remote collar industry)

We recommend that you register your collar with the manufacturer at the time of purchase. Warranty cards should be included with your purchase. Some of the warranty protections (such as the DT Systems "Lifetime" warranty) require that the product be registered with in 30 days of purchase.

The following information was copied from the respective manufacturers websites in 2007. We will update this information from time to time, but we do state that warranty information will change from time to time. If you have questions on warranty comparisons we recommend that you check the company websites or call them directly at the numbers provided.

We have also removed warranty information about products that are no longer made by these companies to save space. If you have questions about older units, give us a call or check with the respective company.

Most warranty situations will require you to ship the unit to the manufacturer for repair or replacement. We recommend that you ship your collar via a carrier with tracking ability (UPS, FedEx, etc.) and that you insure your collar for replacement value.

    (SPT, EDT and ST Series Collars Only)

  • Our warranty does not cover parts that malfunction due to abuse, misuse, improper maintenance, or incorrect handling.
  • Damage from dogs chewing or wear and tear from excessive field use is not covered.
  • Our warranty does not cover the cost of shipping the unit to our repair center. Return ground shipping (inside the continental United States) to the customer is covered. However, next day or second day air shipping is not covered and if requested will be charged.
  • Any unit purchased prior to January 2001 is not covered by the Lifetime Warranty but is covered by our standard One Year warranty.


  • How the Lifetime Warranty works:

    To qualify for the Warranty you must fill out the warranty registration card which came with your system and mail it (with your original sales receipt) to D.T. Systems within 30 days of purchase.
  • There is no charge for parts or labor for the first year on any of our lifetime warranted products.
  • When the product's labor warranty expires after the first year, there will be a normal labor charge for any repair under the lifetime warranty program should your system be in need of service. Labor charges will range from $35 to $110 depending on 1) the system model, and 2) the severity of the repair needed.
  • Any defective manufactured part or parts that need replacement will be free during the lifetime warranty period.
