The SportDOG SD400 dog training collar have been proven safe, comfortable and effective for hunting dogs and working dogs. Consistent, correct use of this dog training collar allows you to reinforce commands and correct misbehavior from up to 375 metres. The Remote Transmitter sends a radio signal, and the receiver collar will deliver a harmless stimulation after received the signal. With proper training, your dog will learn to associate this signal with a command.

The SportDOG SD400 remote trainer has multiple intensity levels. This allows you to choose the stimulation that is best for your dog. Note: Always start at the lowest level and work your way up. For training efficiency, it is important to find the right intensity level for your dog. This is called the Recognition Level, at which your dog looks around in curiosity, or flicks his ears. Finding Your Dog’s Recognition Level:

Note: Every dog is different and you cannot predict where your dog’s Recognition Level will be.

Watch closely for any slight change in behavior that tells you your dog is feeling the stimulation.

1. Turn on the collar and fit it to your dog properly. Set the Intensity Dial to Level 1 on the transmitter and press the Continuous Stimulation Button for 1 to 2 seconds.

2. If your dog doesn’t show any reaction to Level 1, go to Level 2 and repeat the process.

3. Your dog should not vocalize or panic when receiving stimulation. If this happens, the stimulation level is too HIGH! You need to go back to previous level and repeat the process.

4. Once you find your dog’s Recognition Level, this is the level you should use when you begin a training exercise.

5. If you have progressed to Level 8 while searching for your dog’s Recognition Level and your dog continues to show no response, check to see if Collar Receiver is snug against your dog’s neck. Then go back to Intensity Level 1 and repeat the process. If your dog still does not indicate he is feeling the stimulation, you have two options: you may either have to trim the hair beneath the Contact Points or switch to the longer Contact Points included in your system.

This SportDOG dog training collar also has a programmable transmitter which is easy to custom your own “short cuts”. This transmitter has 7 different modes, it can be changed to fit your type or style of training.
