While hiking in the Rocky Mountains of Montana, I need to have control over my dog to keep him from chasing wild animals such as grizzly bears and mountain lions and wolves. That would be the end of my labrador retriever Wally if he ever got near one. Now I can hike with confidence knowing that SportDog 425X can reign him in when he gets too far away. I can take hikes that I previously could not.

Gun Dog Supply delivered confidence. They did it in less than 48 hours too. The enclosedBasic Training Manual gave me new understandings and increased communication skills. Tutorial CD was better than any YouTube videos I have been watching in preparation. These 2 factors gave me the confidence and knowledge to know what we wanted to accomplish and how to go about it without hurting my dog. The results are impressive & I'm still waiting on my Instructor to schedule that 1 on 1 training session on how to set up and properly use this recommended piece of training equipment.

The collar works well. Im happy with my purchase.

Part of my husband's Christmas present was this easier to use recall collar. We have a new English setter, rooster is almost a year old, but the previous remote was difficult to use, and I was scared to press the wrong button and mess up his training. We found this much easier to use option and I'm excited to actually get a third color for the non-hunting Rhodesian ridgeback just to improve her recall for hiking. Great for hunting dogs and their partners that also take dogs out for field walks without hurting their training or losing them to a bunny sighting. I Feel confident I can handle the 3 spirited dogs on a field walk solo again. 🤣

This is my 4th electric collar from Gundog Supply. Always happy with the quality and purchase. This is a top tier company. If you're not happy they are not happy. They will make it right.

As usual fast service and great product. I really like the size of transmitter. Small and fits anywhere I put it. Great for training my cocker.

This is our second set of these Two Dog System. As always they are an excellent product. They work very well, in times our dogs need correction. We use the 'tap' feature, which vibrates. Rarely if ever need to use the 'shock' feature. Our dogs are trained, if we say 'buttons', it means they aren't listening. Just saying that, they will self correct for the majority of the time. Dogtra is an excellent product, we wouldn't hesitate to purchase again.

I have had this collar for several dogs. This one is a little updated but still functions well.

We have two sets of these collars ( for 4 different dogs). They work well and have a great range of correction and allow the dogs reasonable freedom. Would definitely recommend.

Reliable e-collar at a good price. Great for obedience training and stopping dog from chasing wildlife.

I purchased a 2 dog system from Gundog supply for my 2 shepherd pups. Couldn't be happier with this purchase from them. It also came with very detailed instructional videos to assist in the training....I have had labs my whole life that have been extremely easy to train....shepherds are slightly more challenging with a different mind set. These collars have given one more tool to aid in the training.

It's met all my expectations to this point. I really like being able to recharge the collar. The battery life is exceeding expectations.

Broke the pup from chasing chickens and stealing food in the kitchen in 1 day.

This collar is sturdy, easy to use and effective. The price is reasonable. It's a deal.

This is my third experience dealing with GDS and once again they did not disappoint. Tons of helpful information on the site, fair prices for the gear I need and very prompt shipping. Somehow they always manage to make the buyer feel like part of the family.

I've been using it for about 9 months and I must say it works great. My dog does not hesitate to get the collar on. It has worked well in all weather conditions. I must say this has been the best purchase I've made in 2023.

I was instructed by an official AKC dog trainer, and it is exactly what I needed. It is helping with his training SO much!! Thanks. !!

Great collars and great service! Thanks

This 425X trainer is a great product for training big dogs like a Dogo Argintino. Zeus was just a pup when we started using the 425X and his behavior and training has been awesome.

Works well for retriever training and in the field with closer working dogs.

I am learning to use this collar. The basic booklet was very helpful. Important to use for training and not as punishment!

This product is superb as a last resort training device when all other training methods have not been successful. After about a week or so of continuous training with this product, a canine is very obedient and follows commands right on cue! Only need to occasionally break it out from time to time as a refresher training assistant. It is a little difficult to judge how tight to get leash on long haired or thick necked breeds, but with a little attention and time, and was thankful for the additional set of prongs that come included with the entire product.

This is the 4th SportDOG e-collar I have had - all have been great products. Had issues with mode change on this one but issue resolved over phone. You need to press fairly hard and deep in the back to change mode. Was instructed to use the collar clasp instead of a pen to press the node change button and problem resolved - thanks for a good product and timely support.

We got this for our 5 month old Airedale Terrier. When she was on the leash she pulled terribly and when off she had selective hearing. This collar has corrected both problems. Within two days she was responding immediately when called and walking beside me on a loose leash. It has corrected a lot of behavior problems. I highly recommend this collar.

I needed an eCollar for my young male Boston. I wasn't sure what style or size to get for him. Steve answered my email promptly and gave me great recommendations...with no sales pressure. I was impressed with the product and his approach and order it within a couple of days. And it was shipped promptly!

I bought the 425x trainer to replace the previous version. The stimulation adjustment knob broke off the old one in the field and disappeared. The new trainer has many more levels of stimulation than the old version. This is not a huge advantage for me at the moment since I have what trainers call a 'soft' dog. She doesn't need much more than tone or vibrate to remind her not to chase a rooster out of gun range. I've never used a stimulation level greater than 2 on my old SportDOG trainer. It may become useful for my next dog, who may not be as soft as my current lab. I like the small controller, which fits nicely in a shirt pocket, and I really like the improved collar material (rubberized not plastic). The other improvement is an upgrade in the charger ports for the controller and collar. The prior collar and controller had charging plugs with marginal geometry for the mating ports. The 425x has a better shape to the connector, which seems to stay plugged in better.I would buy this again, and I recommend it to friends needing a training collar. I like the training tips book and CD that came in the package. Gun Dog Supply was very easy to deal with, and I'll buy from them again.

We have had a collar before from another company but this one has more choices. You can use the tone, vibrate and shock. It's so easy.

I purchased this as a gift for my daughter and it was the perfect size and functionality. I'm a long-time customer of Gun Dog Supply and am extremely happy with their products and customer service.

The collar and beeper stay charged for extremely long. Easily more than 24 hours though I have no idea how long. It also charges insanely fast. Even within 30m I think. I just know pretty much every time I checked it after beginning to charge, it showed as fully charged.

If I recall, this is my third unit from Gun Dog Supply. The unit I had lasted for years. Very good product.
