SportDOG SportTrainer SD-1275E Remote Trainer

The SportDOG® SportTrainer® SD-1275E Remote Trainer has been proven safe, comfortable, and effective for all dogs over 3.6 kg. Consistent, correct use of this product allows you to reinforce commands and correct misbehavior from up to 1200 m. The Remote Transmitter sends a signal, activating the Collar Receiver to deliver harmless stimulation. With proper training, a dog will learn to associate this signal with a command. Like all SportDOG® products, this model features adjustable static stimulation levels so you can tailor the stimulation level to your dog’s temperament, eliminating the risk of over-stimulation.IMPORTANT: The SportTrainer® SD-1275E Remote Trainer has a range of 1200 m. 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, transmissions from other radio devices, and other factors will affect the maximum range.
