It took me 20 minutes or less to get my beagle to come back when called. I call him and beep… call and beep.. call and vibes , call and shock ( on 1) and he figured out real quick he might as well come at the beep. Well worth 150 bones
I have a golden retriever still a pup (we got him at 9months - 4 days ago) .. he barks at people , dogs (Ofc) , he pulls , he jumps on tables. I really enjoyed how informative your video is. I don’t just wanna use an e-collar incorrectly. But I wanna know the right time to use it , also can I use it all the situations I listed ?
Thank you for your great question, Flower. An E-Collar could definitely be a good training tool for the behaviors that you've described. If you have any questions about the E-Collars and the features that they offer, please feel free to contact our product experts with our Customer Support, and we'll be happy to help. You can find contact information for SportDOG in your country on our website here: www.sportdog.com/en-gb/international
I had two of these ecollars and the intensity knob fell of both of them. Granted Sportspro repleaced the first on. Not suew why it happened but went to Garmin.
Our pup is great with basic commands (come, sit, down, place, heel, off, break) but is eager to learn more. What are some intermediate to advanced commands we can train with e-collar and how to start training them?
Thank you so much for asking about this, Deena. It's great to know your dog is having such a good time training with you. It is important to mention, first, that no commands should be taught for the first time using a remote trainer. These tools are intended to help reinforce commands your dog already knows and thoroughly understands. With that being said, the type of training you would move to next would depend on the skills you would like your dog to have. If you are interested in hunting with your dog, we would recommend checking out our videos by Tom Dokken- these can be found by searching his name on our profile page. He has many examples of helpful commands and training exercises for working with our hunting partners.
Hello and thank you I hope this works for my boy, anyway it says about basic obedience first but he knows his name and what come means but is stubborn and dosent listen so if he won't listen to command how can I get him to listen to that before introducing the collar?
Thank you for asking this question. If your dog is already understanding commands but not necessarily obeying them, you can use our remote trainers to reinforce this training. These are communication tools which will help your dog better understand what is expected of him when a command is given.
Just actually bought one of your collars I am trying to use it with my 3 yr old staffy who is high anxiety has had one bad experience with the e collar that I know of to date... And has major dog reactivity... I am scared to try this because I don't want to make him worse... Do you think I am making the right decision for my boy with the anxiety and previous bad experience?
Thank you for reaching out. We would not recommend our remote trainers for dogs that are heavily affected by anxiety. Since anxiety is a condition rather than a behavior, using a remote trainer to correct a behavior created by the anxiety could potentially make the behavior worse. We would recommend reaching out to a certified trainer or animal behaviorist for further assistance in your dog's situation.
Thank you for your question, Alain. While you can certainly use a remote trainer to keep your dog from running out toward the road, please keep in mind that it is not a containment system and you will always need to be present with the remote to deliver the correction as needed.
Is this a good product for off leash training, I have a 2 year old Doberman. He’s very energetic & I want him to be able to run freely but I’m afraid of losing him sometimes.
Thank you for your question. Our remote trainers are excellent tools for helping refine your dog's responses to commands that have already been taught. While you can certainly use the system to work on off-leash training, we do recommend starting the training on a long lead to help establish the initial command. Once your dog has the basics down, you can then transition to working off-leash and use the remote trainer to reinforce your training commands.
Thank you for reaching out. The charging indicators will depend on which particular system you are using. For more details on what to expect during charging, please contact our Customer Care Center directly at 1-800-732-0144 and they will be happy to assist you further.
Blinking green means its charging. Steady green means fully charged. Some units charge with a steady red light and when fully charged that turns into green. Hope that helps!
My dog already knows these commands but occasionally has a delayed recall with distractions or ignores if chasing an animal. She’s been leash trained with a prong collar and knows commands off collar. Should I still introduce the ecollar to her with the prong collar so she associates the stimuli of the ecollar as the same communication as the prong?
Thanks for this great question. We would recommend still introducing the collar in this way, as this will help teach and enforce the collar's use as in some ways essentially a long lead. For most dogs, it's very helpful in understanding these collars to use them alongside tools and commands they already know.
Great question. For the most comfortable and effective fit, the receiver should be right in the center of your dog's neck just below his chin. This is where the neck is narrowest, so it will allow for a consistent fit, and it is more comfortable for your dog in this position as the contact points as opposed to the side of his neck.
Thank you for checking back in. Yes, the collar should rest right over the dog's trachea and directly under the chin. The strap should rest in the natural groove behind the dog's ears.
My two dogs are extremely energetic and jump all over family excessively when we have them over. Can this device/collar be used in training them to learn not to jump all over people?
When we got 2 new pups that loved to jump on everyone, my solution was to tap them on the nose with an open hand and say "no". However, when I kneel down to their level, I give them all the play and touch they want. Im the only one at home who they dont jump on.
Hi I have a question. I have a 2 year old Siberian husky. Lately it’s been hard to get the prongs to connect to his skin. Any suggestions? I wish the light on the collar turns a different color to let me know “it has contact” I feel bad sometimes I got to turn it up to like a 5 just so I would know it is connected properly then I’ll bring it back to a 1.
Thank you for your question Sothea. We are sorry to hear you are having some issues with your collar. Our customer care team would be more than happy to assist you with your connection issue. You can reach out to our team here- www.sportdog.com/support/contact-us
Great question, Auryan. Some dogs may be more sensitive and the lowest level may be too strong. In these cases, the vibration or tone may work as a form of correction, but this will entirely depend on your dog's own tolerance to the tone or vibration and how they respond to it.
What level stimulation (V/T or level 1) would you recommend using just starting to use an ecollar on a 5 month old chocolate lab puppy for duck hunting and what excersizes for "come/here"
Hey Ryan. It will depend on your dog. You'll be looking for recognition in the form of an ear twitch or head tilt. It should be a very mild reaction. Vibrate might be the only thing you need, but if your puppy has high drive you might need to bump it up. The X-Series collars feature low, medium and high levels per each level on the dial, so start at Level 1 Low, then Level 1 Medium, and so on until you see that recognition. Here's an article that details this out a little more: www.sportdog.com/hunting-training-tips/finding-your-dogs-just-right-e-collar-level#content-top
I've been told to never use an ecollar on a dog that's younger than 8 months old. Second: before you use an ecollar for 'come/here' you should first train the dog without the ecollar so he knows what you mean !!
Hello Nae, thank you for your interest in our E-Collars for dogs. We do not recommend the use of an E-Collar with those dogs exhibiting aggressive behaviors. Before using this style of product with your companion, we would recommend consulting with your local veterinarian or dog behaviorist to determine if this style of product is the best fit for your dog's needs.
Thank you for your question. What you see at the 19-second mark is a training dummy. These can be found on our website with the following link. www.sportdog.com/dog-training/white-plastic-dummy
My husky puppy who is about 6 months old is always biting and hurting my 13 year old dachshund. My husky is like 3 times bigger than my dachshund already and over powers him. He doesn’t listen to me even when i tell him no or try to grab him. He just bites me and continues his aggression towards my dachshund. Do you think an e-collar would be a good idea?
Hello Sergius, we are sorry to hear you are having an issue with the set up of your remote. If you would like one of our customer care representatives would be more than happy to assist you with set up of your system. You can reach out to our team at 1-800-732-0144 Mon- Fri 8am-7pm EST
Hello Joseph. Yes, you can use a remote trainer such as this to work on a number of training commands and behaviors. The effectiveness of this product for your dog will depend on your dog's individual temperament and the time you spend training together.
Hi Elisabeth, thank you for asking this question. Vibration is often enabled once you adjust a setting on the dial or the mode of the remote depending on which model you have. We would love to hear more about which specific model you own to help you get to these desired settings. Please contact SportDOG Customer Care directly for programming assistance at 1-800-732-0144.
Where are the videos on how to set this up to a stronger vibrate setting? How do we increase it? I need something that shows all the settings in a video the papers are confusing. this isn't enough information for a total beginner to your collar.
We're sorry to hear you're having difficulty understanding the settings on your collar, Sarah. As we have many models of collar, so that we can best assist you with specific information for your model and situation, please get in touch with our Customer Care team. Our number is 1-800-732-0144, and our hours are Monday through Friday 8 A.M.- 7 P.M. EST.
We just got a SportDOG 300 yard ecollar for our pup - he's only just 5 months old is that too young to start? I don't want to use anything but vibration at all but we thought that this could be a good start to training him for eventual off-leash woods exploration and underground fencing.
Hi Stacey, we certainly appreciate you choosing our YardTrainer 300 for your dog's training needs. Rather than being ready at a certain age, you want to be sure that your dog has developed the mental capability to learn and understand commands first, before starting with the e-collar. This happens at different ages for different dogs.
Wow thank you .. so simply put how to use this type collar I’m paying someone over $200 a half hour that didn’t do ANY of what you said … NEVER AGAIN going into that situation .. EVER .. 🐾🐾💕
Thank you for this question. Many customers will interchange the terms static and shock and define them as being the same. Our e-collar provides a very mild, harmless static stimulation that is designed to get your dog's attention. Many of our remote trainers like this will also offer tone or vibration so you can choose to approach training in a way that works for you and your dog's individual needs.
Thank you for reaching out to us. For training with your remote trainer, you will need to have your remote. If you have a bark collar for your dog, this type of collar is for obsessive barking only, and would not have the same capabilities as a remote trainer. If you have any questions about the type of collar you have or what options we might have for you, please get in touch with our Customer Care team. Our number is 1-800-732-0144, and our hours are Monday through Friday 8 A.M.- 7 P.M. EST.
I don't have directions can someone tell me what to do besides shocking my 2 yr old greater Swiss mountain dog. He lungs at people on walks. I adopted him. So he was never properly trained
Hello Tammy, thank you for reaching out to us. We are sorry to hear you have lost your user manual, you can find downloadable copy of all of our manuals here - support.sportdog.com/s/topic/0TO8X0000007ed5WAA/ecollars While the instruction manuals do provide a basic training portion for getting your dog used to the collar, we do not have guides for more detailed and behavior training. For any further training we would suggest reaching out to a local training facility.
What is the difference between the 100 yard remoter trainer and the 300 yard remote trainer? Besides the distance, why does one have the V/T button and the other does not have that option?
Thank you for this question, Matt. The primary differences between these two systems will be the distance and stimulation options. The YT-100 offers tone, vibration, and continuous static stimulation. Each correction option is assigned to a single button and the job of each button cannot change. On this model, you will have 8 levels on the dial to choose from to find the best stimulation match for your companion's temperament. On the YT-300, you also have tone and vibration but the difference is the static stimulation can be continuous on the upper button or momentary on the lower button. You can change the jobs of the upper and lower button to vibration instead by turning the dial to the V/T setting. We hope this information is helpful to you. Please contact SportDOG Customer Care directly at 1-800-732-0144 should you need any further assistance.
The main thing to look for is "Can my puppy understand commands?" If your puppy has learned commands, then your puppy has shown he/she has developed the mental capability to learn how you are communicating. The e-collar (when used correctly) is just another form of communication to help polish those commands you have already taught. If your puppy's mental capability is not there yet, then you can use these early moments to start associating the collar with fun times. You can put the collar on your puppy (while it is off) and have a 10 minute play session, for example.
I’m getting an e collar to stop my rescued and completely untrained (before I got him) Japanese Spitz from excessive play-biting and chasing. I love him and have no desire to see him in pain, so will limit myself to the vibrate mode in the model I bought in anything other than an extreme emergency (running into a highway or going after someone’s cat). These are controversial devices for a reason - in the wrong hands they can cause pain and that’s wrong - but if you love your dog and use it responsibly and cautiously I don’t see a problem with it.
Thank you for reaching out to us. It's important to mention that button function of your remote transmitter can vary depending on which mode it has been programmed to. If you need additional assistance setting up your remote trainer, please give our Customer Care Center a call at 1-800-275-6797 between the hours of 8am-7pm ET Monday-Friday. We'd be happy to assist you with getting started.
This collar vibration does not work don't waste your money. I bought the $159.00 one at petsmart. Tried everything after reading reviews alot of people have this problem. Buy a different collar.
Hello Justin, thank you for reaching out to us here at SportDOG. We're sorry to hear you experienced an issue with your remote training collar vibration not functioning. Please know that depending on which model you purchased, the vibration function may be disabled as many of our remote trainers come from the factory set to a tone and stimulation only mode. This can easily be adjusted by following the steps in the product manual to adjust the mode to one that offers vibration. Please know if you ever encounter any questions or concerns with your SportDOG product, our Customer Care Team is here to support you at the number 1-800-732-0144.
Thank you for your question, Corey. While there is a strap keeper provided to help tuck the tail end of the strap down securely, any excess strap is meant to be cut once the strap has been fitted to your dog's neck size. Once you have made this cut, please make sure to use the heat from a flame to melt together the fibers in the cut-end of the strap. This prevents the internal fibers from unraveling over time.
Hey Doug! Be sure to watch the entire video. While it does start with setting up the device, around minute 2:20 it begins explaining the proper introduction of the e-collar such as ensuring you play with your dog right after putting the collar on so he/she learns to associate the collar with fun. Another tip Charlie Jurney talks about is his min/max rule to let you know his recommended minimum and maximum number of corrections you should give during your first few training sessions. We appreciate the feedback.

The BEST brief explanation on this topic that I’ve heard anywhere. Thank you! And I love your place as well. 🇺🇸
Great explanation, and great product.
It also means a lot to see someone that openly says if you see your dog in pain then you are way too high.
It took me 20 minutes or less to get my beagle to come back when called. I call him and beep… call and beep.. call and vibes , call and shock ( on 1) and he figured out real quick he might as well come at the beep. Well worth 150 bones

If your puppy's mental capability is not there yet, then you can use these early moments to start associating the collar with fun times. You can put the collar on your puppy (while it is off) and have a 10 minute play session, for example.
@@SportDOGBrand great advice!
I’m getting an e collar to stop my rescued and completely untrained (before I got him) Japanese Spitz from excessive play-biting and chasing. I love him and have no desire to see him in pain, so will limit myself to the vibrate mode in the model I bought in anything other than an extreme emergency (running into a highway or going after someone’s cat). These are controversial devices for a reason - in the wrong hands they can cause pain and that’s wrong - but if you love your dog and use it responsibly and cautiously I don’t see a problem with it.
There was no explanation on how to use it. Just on putting it on and selecting the energy level.

Hello Justin, thank you for reaching out to us here at SportDOG. We're sorry to hear you experienced an issue with your remote training collar vibration not functioning. Please know that depending on which model you purchased, the vibration function may be disabled as many of our remote trainers come from the factory set to a tone and stimulation only mode. This can easily be adjusted by following the steps in the product manual to adjust the mode to one that offers vibration. Please know if you ever encounter any questions or concerns with your SportDOG product, our Customer Care Team is here to support you at the number 1-800-732-0144.
This collar is too long for my dog. Why doesn't the collar have something to hold down the excess from flapping around?
Thank you for your question, Corey. While there is a strap keeper provided to help tuck the tail end of the strap down securely, any excess strap is meant to be cut once the strap has been fitted to your dog's neck size. Once you have made this cut, please make sure to use the heat from a flame to melt together the fibers in the cut-end of the strap. This prevents the internal fibers from unraveling over time.
@@SportDOGBrand thanks for the reply but he's still a puppy and growing so I can't cut it yet.
tutorial for use of the device.... not training
Hey Doug! Be sure to watch the entire video. While it does start with setting up the device, around minute 2:20 it begins explaining the proper introduction of the e-collar such as ensuring you play with your dog right after putting the collar on so he/she learns to associate the collar with fun. Another tip Charlie Jurney talks about is his min/max rule to let you know his recommended minimum and maximum number of corrections you should give during your first few training sessions. We appreciate the feedback.
