The Tri-Tronics G3 Sport Junior's small collar design and 1/4 mile range make it a good remote trainer for basic obedience or working with close dogs off leash. The remote activated collar light allows you to see your dog during dawn and dusk walks. The TriTronics Sport Junior features 7 levels of both continuous and momentary stimulation, a water resistant transmitter and has a compact, waterproof collar receiver with a collar strap that fits up to a 25" neck.
STEVE SAYS: Tri-Tronics reenters the pet market this year with the Sport Junior. The Sport JR. combines the
smallest remote collar ever made by Tri-Tronics (it's the same mold as the Bark Limiter) with a
twist on the old Sport 50 transmitter.
The biggest thing I want to stress to our customers is that this is a "pet" only product. Many sites are
pushing this collar as something that is suitable for a close working hunting dogs or for duck hunters. This is not the case. While the range of this system is fine, the transmitter is NOT water proof. There is no way we can recommend that a duck hunter purchase a water resistant transmitter.
If you want the small receiver collar for your duck dog, check out the Basic Junior -- where we combine the Sport Basic transmitter with the Sport Jr. collar. This gives you a waterproof collar AND transmitter.
A couple of other issues to point out to our pet customers about the Sport Junior:
It's non expandable -- the Sport Junior is a one dog only system. You can NOT add additional dogs at any time.
Tri-Tronics decided to add a built in Tracer Light and remove Tone. While I am not a big fan of tone, it is an important feature to many of our pet customers.
All that said, what's really cool about the Sport Jr. is that both the collar and the transmitter will work with any G2,
G2 EXP, or G3 system. This means you can add them to the system you already have if you want a smaller collar or transmitter. You can use the collar along with the larger G3 collars with another transmitter. Click here to read more about the Junior Collar.

Tri-Tronics G3 Sport Junior Overview:
The Sport Junior is easy to use and is designed for the pet owner. The handheld transmitter sends signals to the collar on your dog. There are three buttons on the Sport Junior transmitter:
The "Stim - C" button activates continuous stimulation. Continuous means that the stimulation stays on as long as you press the button. Stimulation times out automatically after eight seconds.
The "Stim - M" button activates momentary stimulation. Momentary stimulation means that the dog will feel a very quick pulse. Press and release the button in a natural fashion.
The "Light" button turns the bright red flashing collar safety lights on and off. The collar lights are handy for seeing where your dog is in low light. Use it when you take your dog for a walk in the dark.
Fasten the collar high on your dog's neck with the receiver box underneath his chin and the lights facing forward. Tighten the collar securely in place, allowing only two fingers to slip under the strap. A loose collar won't give good contact and your dog won't feel the stimulation consistently. Be sure to pull the excess strap back through the D ring. The use of the plastic keeper is optional.

Stimulation from the Tri-Tronics G3 Sport Junior
The G3 Sport Junior has multiple intensity levels, which allows you to choose the stimulation that is best for your dog.
Seven intensity levels can be quickly adjusted with the dial on the side of the transmitter. This means that you can instantly adjust intensity whenever distractions increase.
Teach basic obedience and enforce known commands with lower levels of stimulation.
Use higher levels to stop unwanted chasing or to overcome strong distractions.
7 levels of continuous stimulation and 7 levels of momentary stimulation.
Tri-Tronics G3 Sport Junior Range
1/4 mile range, designed for basic obedience or close dogs off leash.
Maximum range is based on "line of sight." This means that to get the full range out of a system there should be nothing between the transmitter and the receiver and the terrain should be flat and open. This isn't going to happen in most places that we spend time with our dogs.
The range on all of the systems that we carry depends on training conditions, including weather, terrain, and the presence of cover.
