SportDOG YardTrainer 300 Remote Trainer - Off-Leash Safety Tool - Quick-Charge - Waterproof DryTek Technology - Compact E-Collar - Remote Dog Collar - 300-Yard Range

Ready to use and water proof. I only have to use the beep and vibration.

This worked great while it worked. It completely stopped working/ wasn't able to be charged.... However, I called the company and they had Excellent Customer Service and replaced it right away since it is under warranty. Highly recommend them!

The media could not be loaded. This w collar is the best thing I’ve ever purchase for my dog. EVER.He is an 11 year old pitbull that has never had a good recall. He is the kind of dog that knows his commands, is obedient on leash, in our fenced yard, and obedient in the house. BUT the moment he can escape, he will! He has been this way since he was 3 months old. He will dart past, rush, and use any open door as an opportunity to run. He will run for miles and hours chasing squirrels, birds, cats, etc. and will quite literally ignore all attempts to recall.Now that he’s a senior dog, these escapes happen much less often, and he will eventually give up after he’s being chased for a while. However, we are getting a new puppy and really didn’t want her to learn from his bad behaviors.I researched for a few weeks before we decided on this brand. I figured if hunting dogs could be trained with this thing, so could my boy.Y’all, I can’t believe what this collar has done to my dog!Here are the PROS:-remote is easy to use and fits well into my hand-having tone, static, and vibrate are great options and avoid unnecessary static corrections as he responds well to tone by itself. Most times I don’t even need to press the tone button.-I use static levels 1-2, and he’s totally responsive.-range is phenomenal. Can go from one end of a park to the other and have control over him.-He no longer darts out the door.-I can walk him on a leash without his prong collar.-he can walk outside with me off leash and comes as soon as I say his name.-he can be in the run with our chickens and doesn’t even flinch when they come near.-on walks he is rarely, if ever distracted or interested in chasing ANYTHING-As soon as I take the collar off of the charger in the mornings. He is at my feet wagging his tail and waiting for me to put it on. He’s a happier dog now that he has so much more freedom!Now for the Cons:-despite following the collar adjustment guidelines, my boy developed sores on his neck. I would suggest checking regularly in case any develop. He was wearing his collar for long durations because I didn’t want him to escape and then not have the collar on to reinforce my training, thus destroying all of our progress. Once he became more reliable and trustworthy to respond to his recall, I now leave the collar extremely loose(so he can at least hear the tone), and adjust tighter when we go outdoors.-both collar and remote have to be charged nightly, or you risk it not being fully charged. I made the mistake of skipping one night. It worked the next morning, but was dead that evening when I needed it to be working. I can miss a night here or there, but if we will be out all day(using the collar),I have to charge it in the morning to be safe. I would recommend charging as soon as you remove it.-personally, the lanyard is uncomfortable hanging around my neck. I would much rather prefer there were a clip on the remote so that I can attach to my waistband.-there are times that I press the tone button, and it’s delayed in relating the beep. I notice this more often if I skip a charge the night before.-vibration doesn’t seem to have an affect on my dog as far as being a correction.-using this device requires already having a dog who understands basic obedience commands. You can’t just strap it on and start using static and expecting your dog to be an angel.*In the wrong hands, this collar can do more harm than good. It requires research and technique to properly train with e-collar*Overall: research e collar training techniques, be patient, and enjoy. Highly recommend!!

I love that our pup responds just to the beeping sound- no need to shock her. However, make sure you charge it every night, because it will die the moment you actually need it and your dog will sense it and start causing mayhem.

This sport dog yard trainer is a great product. I have a German Shepherd who is extremely rambunctious and loves to jump on me. I am an older lady, so I needed a training device to keep her from jumping. It does just what is needed to make her learn not to jump and with training she has become a great companion.

So this product works, while it works. I read that other people have had poor luck with the batteries in the collar lasting more than a year. In my expereince it didnt last a month.We have a stubborn dog that responds verry well to this collar, even on lower setting. We charged the collar over night, and train with it durring the day. Randomly one day, the collar unit would no longer take a charge. The charging indication light would come on, and shortly after turn off. If you tried to turn it on, nothing would happen.I find it pretty rediculous that a supposed reputable brand like SportDog would allow for this quality of a product hit the shelf. Luckily I was still within the 30 Day amazon return window, but with this level of quality I can not recomend it to anyone. If my next product performs better than I will update my review.In the event that the replacement comes I receive works better, I would not give the product more than 3-4 stars. The audible beep, is neither loud or adjustable, and is best discribed as almost worthless. Even when working as it should, the battery life is dismal at best. Even on standby, and none of the training features being used, the unit only has a battery life of 2 days. So if you are human and ever forget to accomplish a small task, this unit is not forgiving in that aspect at all.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:This is our second shock collar with this brand. We love it.

I was a little nervous about using an e-collar, but I’m in love with this thing. As long as you read the read the instructions and use the collar for commands that your dog ALREADY KNOWS, you’ll be fine. Before my dog even started wearing it, I let her sniff it and would give her a treat. Then, every time we put it on, she’d get a treat (for about a week before pushing any buttons). She loves wearing it now. To her, it means she’s about to do something fun. I haven’t tested the waterproof feature because we don’t really do anything involving swimming or water, but I absolutely recommend! It’s a quality product for a great price.
