What's New in the SportDOG SD-425XS Stubborn
Up to 21 levels of continuous STIM or 7 levels of momentary STIM with either non-stimulating tone or vibration (depending on transmitter mode)
Backward-compatible with previous SD-425 series remote collars
The SportDOG Field Trainer SD 425XS is SportDOG's smallest and lightest e-collar. The 425XS is designed for those strong-willed and high-drive dogs that need a little extra stimulation to get their attention.
Both the transmitter and receiver are waterproof and submersible.
The 425XS can be expanded to control up to three dogs by adding SportDOG Brand Add-A-Dog collars. The comfortable "soft coat" transmitter finish makes this unit a pleasure to handle.
The No-look design allows you to keep an eye your dog and not on your transmitter.
You can customize your SportDOG Field Trainer SD-425XS to match your training preference. It comes set up in MODE-5 (a 21-level continuous one dog collar with non-stimulation tone), but it can easily be changed into 7 different modes with different button configurations.
Gun Dog Supply Exclusive: One Hour BASIC OBEDIENCE Ecollar Training DVD
$40 Value -- You get this FOR FREE when you buy this ecollar.
We are proud to announce that Professional Dog Trainer Robin MacFarlane is working with us! We just wrapped another video shoot, and are launching her latest DVD.
What's interesting about these videos is that Robin has never worked with these dogs before, and several younger dogs have never been trained on an ecollar.
First, Robin walks you through the basic obedience commands showing what proper form looks like.
Next, Robin shows how she introduces the ecollar to two of Steve's puppies, Jack & Tilly, and shows you how to find the right STIM level to communicate with your dog.
She then turns that into a lesson for your dog to recognize that STIM means pay attention to your handler and expands that into a basic recall.
Additional segments include teaching RECALL, PLACE, SIT, and HEEL.
Easy to upgrade to 2 or 3 dogs without loss of tone / vibration feature
Up to 21 levels of continuous stimulation or 7 levels of momentary stimulation depending on transmitter mode
DryTek waterproof design -- submersible to 25 ft.
2-hour quick charge Li-Ion batteries that are also user replaceable (3-5 year lifespan with proper care)
50- to 70-hour run time on a full charge
LED battery charge indicator lets you know transmitter is finished charging
Small enough to hang from the included lanyard
Weighs only 2.4 ounces
Measures 1 3/4" W x 5 1/4" H with antenna
Transmitter MODES
The SportDOG 425XS gives you the option of customizing the transmitter to fit YOUR needs. It also allows you the option of changing the stimulation setup as your needs change or if you want different options in different situations.
Modes include Continuous and Momentary with Tone or Vibration. Two or Three Dog Mode features one button per dog with either Tone (Mode 3) or Vibration (Mode 4). You also have the option of Continuous and Momentary with Tone and the ability to activate/deactivate the Locate Beeper (sold separately).
Change MODES in seconds by setting the transmitter dial to the mode you want. Next press the recessed button on the back of the transmitter. The transmitter light then flashes back the number of the mode you have selected. Modes can be changed as often as you like. Change them for different situations or training styles.

Collar MODES
Another feature in the 425XS collar is the ability to change stimulation settings at the collar. The collar has a medium and high setting. This allows you the option of finding the correct range of stimulation for your dog. Lower the overall stimulation choices for more sensitive dogs and raise the levels for hard headed or stubborn ones.
You can change the collar setting at any time. You can also have collars set up on different levels and work them from the same transmitter. This allows you the option of working sensitive and stubborn dogs from the same transmitter.

Tone and Vibration options

The 425XS is a great collar for obedience work, retrievers and flushers. It's going to quickly become one of our best sellers in its category.
The 425 has been our best selling collar under $200 for the last few years, and the 425XS makes that system even more versatile. It is an awesome system for folks that don't need a lot of range but want a full-featured system for working close to medium range dogs.
We've purchased this line of ecollar for our dogs for more that 10 years, and via gundogsupply every time. We've even had good results with the replacement battery sets for these ecollars. Well built and depenable.
The Snells and their team run a good site, and I'm still impressed with the time they take to test, review and compare their offerings. They've earned our business for sure.
Pros
Easy/comfortable to use. Long lasting battery, long charge duration. Actual charging time is reasonable too.
Cons
No cons.

Two new big dogs came to live at my house recently, and my small terrier mix wasn't happy. But with the e- collar things are going great. It's easy to use and brings the desired results.

I have a 10 month old working line German Shepherd. I needed something to give me more control when she sees something she thinks needs to be chased. I bought a cheap shock collar, and she didn't even feel it. With this one, i can have it on a fairly low setting and still get her attention. Her behavior has improved so much since I got this collar, even when she isn't wearing it. I no longer have to worry about her getting kicked by a horse, because she's trying to chase them or worry about her taking off if we accidentally scare a deer while we're out hiking.

The collar works well. When doing basic training: sit, stay, come and down, I never have to use a setting beyond 2. The dog responds well and the training carries over to when I don't use the shock collar. It is water proof. Unlike my previous collar, this one worked fine after it was repeatedly immersed in the ocean. Range is great. I've used it as far as 200 yards, without a problem. Now for the cons. I'm using this collar on a pit bull. He's a two year old male. If the dog engages with another dog, even a level 7 shock won't get his attention. So if you want to stop a dog fight, this thing won't work. Having said that, there are other techniques to prevent a dog fight. A shock collar is not one of them.
Pros
Great distance.
Water proof.
Batteries last entire day.
Very easy to use.
Two preset buttons are very convenient.
Cons
Will not stop a dog fight.

We had to upgrade from a more basic e-collar with our stubborn 10 month doberman, on the advice of our trainer. This collar has worked so much better with training and we are very happy with it. Also appreciated the super fast shipping.
Pros
Works great, consistently, has buckle to ensure proper fit. Game changer for our dog's behavior.
Cons
Definitely high powered so there has been some contact irritation even though we have only used the higher settings as needed and then reduced back down to the lowest.

Pros
Good battery life. 3 Collars can be keyed to a single remote. Affordable price. Decent quality.
Cons
I haven't found any negatives. I like the product.

SportDOG Fieldtrainer SD-425XS

First, this is what we needed. Our dog is being worked daily and I'd consider her a late bloomer. It wasn't until we started using our E-Collar in conjunction with the trainer that she really began to pay attention... (Can dogs have ADHD?) I can now walk her off leash, let her in the yard with supervision but no worry attached!!
This SportDog for stubborn dogs was new to us. I like how it fits, the multi-level system. We never go beyond a #2 and mostly use #1 on the medium setting. This works very well and I would recommend to anyone. I don't think there is a down side except maybe the charging system is not what I am used to.
Beyond that, we have used Gun Dog Supply consistently for several years now and they are AWESOME~!! Always friendly, always helpful, always prompt. They deliver and beyond. Their customer service is Top of the Line. Thanks guys...keep up the good work. kathleen
I have already recommended it to several people and given them Gun Dog Supply as the only place to purchase this!!
Pros
Well made
Easy to put on and take off
Works consistently on my dog
Delivers what it is designed to do
Cons
Not sure I like the on/off button - I struggle to put the pressure in exactly the right spot...
The charging mechanism. I prefer the Garmin charging set up but can't get everything the way you like. I am glad that it works and my dog is happy and safe!!

Great product , this is the third Sport Dog collar I have purchased I’ve been very pleased with all of them
Pros

Works great and definitely will handle a stubborn dog.
Pros
Buttons are nice with easy access. Lanyard is long enough for anyone. Collar is sturdy with a lot of room for adjustment.
Cons
Dial has to be turned to jog between a warning sound and a shock. For me this is too much time in between and if you have your hands full is very inconvenient.

We have some Malamute mix, and yes, they can be stubborn. They would bother cattle, our horses, chase all sorts of wildlife when we did not want them do, they would tend to ignore our commands when loose. Boy, what a difference a training collar makes in our dog's behavior. This collar works well, and holds a charge a long time. I like the turn-knob to instantly adjust the shock intensity if needed, even without looking at the unit. I like this better than looking at a LCD screen to change settings. Simple, effective. We definitely made the dogs' learning curve a lot steeper. Very pleased with the results. Extra bonus with the long leash / DVD. Will order more supplies from this company.
Pros
LIke it. See above.
Cons
None.
