The SportDOG

SportHunter
®
1825 has been proven safe, comfortable and effective for all dogs over 8
pounds. Consistent, correct use of this product allows you to reinforce commands and correct misbehavior
from one mile. The Remote Transmitter sends a signal, activating the Collar Receiver to deliver a harmless
stimulation. With proper training, a dog will learn to associate this signal with a command. Like all
SportDOG products, this model features adjustable stimulation levels so you can tailor the stimulation
level to your dog’s temperament, eliminating the risk of over-correction.
IMPORTANT: THE SPORTHUNTER 1825 HAS A RANGE OF ONE MILE. DEPENDING
ON THE WAY YOU HOLD THE REMOTE TRANSMITTER, THE MAXIMUM RANGE
MAY VARY. FOR CONSISTENT RESULTS AT LONGER RANGES, HOLD THE REMOTE
TRANSMITTER IN A VERTICAL POSITION AWAY FROM YOUR BODY AND ABOVE
YOUR HEAD. TERRAIN, WEATHER, VEGETATION, TRANSMISSION FROM OTHER
RADIO DEVICES, AND OTHER FACTORS WILL AFFECT THE MAXIMUM RANGE.
