FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Is the static 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 SportHunter
®
1825?
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 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.
Can I use the SportHunter 1825 with
more than one dog?
Yes, the SportHunter 1825 is expandable to a maximum of 6 dogs.

Can I use the SportHunter 1825 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 one mile of range with
the SportHunter 1825?
The range you get with your SportHunter 1825 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
static stimulation to my dog?
The maximum amount of time you can press the Continuous
Stimulation Button and deliver static 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.
Can I attach a leash to the SportHunter
1825?
DO NOT attach a leash to the SportHunter 1825. You may put a
separate non-metallic collar on your dog’s neck and attach a leash.
Be sure the extra collar does not interfere with the Contact Points.
