SportDOG SD-825X Sport Hunter Remote Training Collar

The "big brother" to the SD-425X -- similar features but a longer 1/2 mile range.

The SportDOG SportHunter SD 825X is an incredibly versatile training collar and a good choice for all-around use. This introduction to the long-range SportHunter family is designed by hunters like you. The SportDOG Sporthunter SD 825X is a longer range version of the SD-425X.
  • The 825X has all the features of the SD 425X but has a slightly larger transmitter with a more powerful antenna for longer range, perfect for training in the yard, field, or for hunting with medium range working dogs.
  • Both the transmitter and receiver are waterproof and submersible.
  • The 825X 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.
  • The low continuous stimulation levels and gradual increases between levels on the SD-825X are particularly useful with sensitive dogs or breeds.
  • You can customize your SportDOG Field Trainer SD-825X 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.

    This is the big brother of the 425X. The 825X has a very similar setup as far as stimulation modes and training options. The difference between them is range. This is a half mile range system compared to about 500 yards on the 425X. I prefer it, especially for bird dog folks. 500 yards is a little tight for a bird dog in my opinion. And for not that much more money, you can get the extra range and still have all the same features. Another thing that I like about the 825X is that the transmitter is a little bit bigger. It fits in my hand better than the 425X. I like the 425X, but the dial and transmitter size are a little small for me. SportDOG knows how to make dials better than anybody, and that's a big deal to me. If you are used to a dial on a transmitter and you prefer that over some of the newer setups out there, SportDOG makes the best dials. They feel great and it's probably my favorite thing about this particular collar. I really like the size of the collar. It's small. It's going to fit most dogs really well. Exact same size collar as you've got in the 425X. So, the difference in range is going to be right here in the transmitter. The SD-825X offers a lot of different stimulation choices. It also has tone and vibration on the dial, which allows you to have both tone and vibration at the same time in several different mode setups. Another feature is the ability to change stimulation on the collar. This is something exclusive to SportDOG. When you buy this collar and you take it out of the box, it's going to be in what's called their medium stimulation setting. If you have a very sensitive dog and you need to turn it down, there is a low stimulation option. It doesn't change anything on the transmitter, but what it does is it changes the output on the collar. It steps everything down. With the majority of the dogs that I've worked with, the medium setup works great. Overall, the SD-825X is just an all-around great collar.
