SportDOG Fieldtrainer SD-425XS Stubborn Dog Remote Training CollarThe 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.
Steve Says: SportDOG SD-425XS StubbornThe 425XS is the replacement for the SD 425S. The "X" version adds two 21-level STIM button configurations (transmitter MODES 5 and 6) for more increments between levels with either non-stimulating tone or vibration options. The features of the 425XS include: 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. Steve Snell Accessories for your SportDOG SD-425XS Stubborn

Having a trainer to use with my dog has been a huge boost. He has already started to stay closer to home and returns for his "excursions" when called, so I don't have to go wondering in the woods at night to get him home.

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.

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.

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.

SportDOG Fieldtrainer SD-425XS
March 24, 2021
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. kathleenI have already recommended it to several people and given them Gun Dog Supply as the only place to purchase this!!

Our dogs behave much better.
September 6, 2020
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.
