FREQUENTLy ASKED QUESTIONS
Is the stimulation safe for
my dog?
While Continuous and/or Momentary stimulation may be
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 SportTrainer®
SD-1875E?
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
3.6 kg. The system should only be used with dogs over 6 months
of age. If your dog is injured or its mobility is otherwise impaired,
contact your veterinarian or professional trainer before use.
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 my Collar Receiver be used
around salt water?
Yes. However, if the Collar Receiver is used in or around salt water,
it should be rinsed with fresh water following each use.
Can I use the SportTrainer®
SD-1875E with more than
one dog?
Yes. The SportTrainer® SD-1875E is expandable to a maximum
of 3 dogs. SportDOG® Add-A-Dog® Collar Receivers must be
purchased. Please refer to the back cover for a list of compatible
Collar Receivers.
Can I use the SportTrainer®
SD-1875E 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 1600 m of range
with the SportTrainer®
SD-1875E?
The range you get with your SportTrainer® SD-1875E will
vary according to terrain, weather, and 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 10 seconds. After 10 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, resume use and monitor the skin
condition closely.
The Intensity Dial seems difficult
to rotate. Is this normal?
Yes. This prevents accidental changes in intensity and encourages
an optimal waterproof seal. The knob will “break in” and be slightly
easier to turn as you use it.
