Frequently Asked Questions
Is the stimulation safe for
my dog?
While the stimulation is unpleasant, it is harmless to your
dog. Electronic training devices require interaction and
training from the owner to achieve desired results.
How old does a dog have to be
before using the HoundHunter
3200?
Your dog should be able to learn basic obedience
commands such as “Sit” or “Stay.” The Collar Receiver
may be too large for dogs under 8 pounds.
Once my dog is trained and has
been obeying my commands,
will my dog have to continue to
wear the Collar Receiver?
Your dog may need to wear the Collar Receiver from time
to time for reinforcement. Also, many hunters keep the
Collar Receiver on their dogs while hunting for maximum
control.
Is the Collar Receiver
waterproof?
Yes. If the rechargeable battery pack ever needs to be
replaced, make sure the o-ring and o-ring groove are free
from dirt and debris.
Can I use the HoundHunter
3200 with more than one dog?
Yes, SportDOG Add-A-Dog™ Collar Receivers must
be purchased. For 3 or 4-dog operation, the Remote
Transmitter must be programmed to Mode 1.
Can I use the HoundHunter
3200 on aggressive dogs?
We do not recommend any of our products to be used on
aggressive dogs. We recommend you contact your local
veterinarian or professional trainer to determine if your dog
might be aggressive.
Will I get exactly 2 miles of
range with the HoundHunter
3200?
The range you get with your HoundHunter 3200 will
vary according to terrain, weather, vegetation, as well as
transmission from other radio devices. To get the maximum
amount of range, please refer to “How the System Works”
section of this guide.
How long can I continuously
deliver stimulation to my dog?
The maximum amount of time you can press the
Continuous Stimulation Button and deliver stimulation to
your dog continuously is 8 seconds. After eight seconds,
the Remote Transmitter will time-out, and the Continuous
Stimulation Button must be released and pressed again.
What do I do if my dog’s neck
becomes red and irritated?
This condition is due to the Contact Points irritating the
skin. Discontinue use of the Collar Receiver for a few
days. If the condition persists beyond 48 hours, see your
veterinarian. Once the skin returns to normal, replace
Collar Receiver, and monitor the skin condition closely.
Can my Collar Receiver be used
around salt water?
If the Collar Receiver is used in or around salt water, the
Collar Receiver should be rinsed with fresh water following
each use. Prior to rinsing, the power cover should be
removed from the power plug socket and left out until the
Collar Receiver has air dried.
The Intensity Dial seems
diffi cult to rotate. Is this
normal?
Yes. This prevents accidental changes in intensity and
encourages an optimal waterproof seal. The dial will “break
in” and be slightly easier to turn as you use it.
