WetlandHunter 1825X Remote Trainer, 1 Mile Range, 21 Static Levels | Up to 6 Dogs with Added Collars, Tone/Vibration/21 Static Levels, DryTek Waterproof to 25 Ft, Realtree Camo

I’ve used the SportDog 850 collar for many years and it’s been a workhorse without any issues. This was purchased because I needed a bit more distance power for a new puppy that we’ll be taking though longer Field Trial stuff and I wanted to make sure that if she got out 500-700 yards, I could control her. Size wise it was a bit larger than the 850 both for the controller and the collar receiver. But not as large as the Dogtra or Garmin. I ordered all three and the two I really liked was this one and the Garmin Pro 550. The Dogtra Edge RT was nice but I didn’t like the controller. It had hard edges in the palm of your hand while holding it. Where the Garmin was very comfortable and smooth along with grippy. The two main reasons I went with SportDog was my experience with the 850 I had and the reviews on the Garmin that weren’t indicating it being well made and having issues. I also like the smaller controller than either the Garmin or Dogtra. I really like the 850’s controller and receiver size for when we’re out not hunting or training. If we go to dinner or to the park, it’s nice and small and makes it easy to keep the controller in your pocket.

Sportdog is far superior to competitor models. I’ve owned and trained dogs for 40 years. I started with a pro Garmin model which was a great product BUT the remote was like carrying a brick in size, weight and was not 1/2 as ergonomic as the Sportdog. I have the Sportdog 1825X model which boasts a 1 mile range. The remote is 1/2 the size as the Garmin and all Sportdog 1825X components have held up to daily use on a GSP hunting dog. After such heavy use, Sportdog agreed to replace at no cost the remote because the stimulus selector dial no longer had positive position clicks. Depsite the remote still working and being almost 2 years old, it was replaced free of charge. Sportdog makes a great product, customer service is excellent, and they stand behind their product. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Pro tip, don’t skimp on cost, buy the model with distant range you/your dog needs.

Waste of money

Love! Works great.

We love the collar itself. It is easy to use. However, the clip broke and we were told it was covered under warranty and that they would ship us a new one which has never come.

I am not one the leave reviews but I purchased this collar in February 2019 and could not be happier! Not to mention, my dog is beyond excited when he sees it in my hand because he knows we are going on another adventure. This is by far the best training collar out there and it is worth every penny! It is 100% waterproof and very easy to charge. The only thing I wish I could figure out is how to customize the settings of the remote. I cannot figure out how to set up the vibrate setting. Other than that, I highly recommend this product!

Works great in the field.

High desert ranch cane, Corso… We use them they’re great we’ve called and got help to program with no problems. They have awesome customer service, sport dog only.

In this review, you will find no bad comments about this product because I didn't have any! I purchased this product 3 years ago and used it almost every day at that time. This collar has been used in some cold and harsh environments and conditions but it still worked and performed as it should. My dog is a water dog and spends most of her time in the water so this tested the collar against water in all aspects as my dog even dives down to around 3ft, fresh water, salt water, and summer Temps to winter Temps below freezing this collar did not fail. Just recently I lost the remote and had it gone from September to April, yesterday as I was walking my dog down a path from my cabin I noticed something on the ground covered when I picked it up it was the lost remote! This remote has been through the whole fall, all winter covered in snow and freezing temperatures then through most of the spring with all the rain this remote has been through it all and still when I picked it up it had charged and worked I was SHOCKED! It is what made me write this review, this product works as advertised and performs above the others, if you are looking for a collar for your dog look no further this is the brand to get!

Disliked that couldn’t adjust the strength of the shock signal.

Excellent collar to help train our lab pup
