|   SportDOG SD 2000 Wetland Hunter Review BY STEVE SNELLThe SportDOG SD 2000 Wetland Hunter was made for Duck Hunters by Duck
Hunters. The transmitter is waterproof, the collar receiver is
waterproof, the collar strap hardware is flat black and every part of
this system comes in Realtree Max4 Camo.
The SportDOG SD 2000 comes as a one-dog system, but you can add a
second collar at any time in the future if you need to.
Customizing your Transmitter: The most amazing part of the SportDOG SD 2000 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.
The SportDOG SD 2000 has 3 buttons on the transmitter and a dial to
control the stimulation settings.
The SportDOG SD 2000 transmitter comes with a toggle switch built in to the
transmitter. This allows you to add a second dog at any time in the
future using the SportDOG Add-a-Dog collars.
USING THE TOGGLE SWITCH AS AN ON-OFF FOR 1-DOG SET-UP: The added
bonus of the toggle switch for folks that only have one dog is that by
changing the toggle switch from the Dog one position to dog two allows
you to "cut off" the transmitter while leaving the collar active on
your dog.
Unlike other systems that have a "0" setting on their transmitter,
with the SportDOG SD 2000, you can leave your stimulation dial
set on the level you'll need, and instantly have access to that level with
the flick of the toggle switch.
The SportDOG SD 2000 comes preset to MODE-1 straight out of the box.
Many folks will like this set-up. (Lower Button: Momentary, Upper
Button:Continuous, Side Button: Tone).
This gives you an 8-level continuous, 8-level momentary collar with a
separate tone button independent of stimulation for both Dog 1 and Dog
2.
I prefer MODE-5 which gives you 16 levels of continuous stimulation.
The Lower button is continuous stimulation with intensity level set to
low end of reading on Intensity Dial (1-8). The upper button is
Continuous Stimulation with intensity level set to high end of reading
on Intensity Dial. The side button is set to tone only.
This setting gives you a wide choice of stimulation levels that will
allow you to work with even the most sensitive dog. You can also use
this mode in a two dog set up using the toggle switch and the
Add-A-Dog extra collar.
If you prefer to use momentary stimulation than you would like MODE-6.
This gives you 16 levels of momentary (1-8 low and high) with a
separate tone button.
This feature is perfect for folks that like to use the low-level
continuous stimulation training method that has been popular for many
years among retriever trainers.
What if you prefer to use the Momentary Stimulation method that is
also common today? No problem. Either keep your transmitter set on
mode 1 (eight levels continuous and eight levels momentary plus a
separate tone button) or if you prefer a wider range of momentary
stimulation, change your transmitter to mode 6 (16 levels of momentary
plus a separate tone button) for a completely momentary remote system.
The SportDOG SD 2000 transmitter is small enough that it isn't in my
way, but it fits in my hand and is durable. It comes with a lanyard
if you want to wear it around your neck and it has a removable belt
clip that you can use if you want to.
The SD 2000 Transmitter has the "tactile" feel in the transmitter dial
that I want. I can change levels without looking at the transmitter. I
can also select which dog I want to correct using the toggle switch
and never take my eyes off the dog.
I can also operate it one-handed. Using my thumb, I can change levels
at the dial and I can operate the buttons. This makes life easy. No
need for two-handed operation that you get in so many of the
high-end collars on the market today. I always have something else in
my hands when I train. Blank Pistol, check cord, remote release
transmitter, dummies, dummy launchers, duck calls�.
I don't want to have to put down anything to
operate my transmitter. Period.
I also need a multi-dog system. I like to work multiple retrievers at
the same time. Having a collar on each dog lets me correct them both
when I need to.
SportDOG SD 2000 ONE-DOG MODES
MODE-1: 8 levels continuous + 8 levels momentary + separate tone button
MODE-2: 8 levels continuous + a level 8 instant "hot" button for
dangerous situations + separate tone button
MODE-3: 8 levels continuous + a "plus 2" button that allows you to
increase the stimulation level by 2 levels without changing the dial +
separate tone button

If this is your first visit to Gun Dog Supply, welcome to our online Yahoo! Store.
-- Way back in 1997, we got the idea to sell on the WWW after shopping on eBay and
Amazon and buying through other online catalogs.
It's so much easier to offer more information and content with an online
catalogue, rather than a 72-page mail order brochure. Customers enjoy
reading our info and articles where we share our opinions on our top-rated
products.
From time to time we feature our top-selling products with promotional
pricing or free shipping. Most of the time, most regular products are sold
below manufacturers' suggested retail prices (MSRP). We sometimes offer
wholesale pricing to qualified dealers on certain items and some offers are
consumer only, no-dealer purchasing. Some people are more interested in
choosing the cheapest, clearance-priced items such as overstock through an
outlet dealer. Make sure your purchases are through an AUTHORIZED Internet
dealer, especially for electronic canine products for warranty support
issues.
Buyers save when you shop online. Why surf the Web for discount codes,
online promo codes, and coupons when you know we have every day low prices?
Your satisfaction with your purchases is important to us. We use the Yahoo! Store
Rating system and our consumer reports are very good. We offer
product recommendations and stand behind our recommended & reviewed products
with our 30-Day Money Back Guarantee. Comparing prices is important, but
when you find the lowest, discounted item, you may find other things, too.
Savings may vary. Discounts and coupon prices subject to change without
notice.
