3. Charging the Remote and Collar

Before using the SportDOG Brand 425 Remote Trainers, charge both the remote transmitter and collar receiver using the included charging adaptor. The lithium-ion batteries require a 2-hour quick charge and will last 50-70 hours per charge. A low battery indicator will let you know when it's time to recharge the devices.

4. Fitting the Collar

The collar is designed for dogs 8 pounds or larger with neck sizes 5" - 22". To fit the collar, follow these steps:

Thread the collar strap through the slots on the collar receiver.
Place the collar around your dog's neck, positioning the collar receiver at the front of the neck.
Buckle the collar strap, ensuring it is snug but not too tight. You should be able to fit one finger between the collar and your dog's neck.
Trim any excess strap material, leaving at least 1 inch beyond the buckle.

5. Operating the Remote

The remote transmitter allows you to control the collar receiver and customize the training experience for your dog. The remote features buttons for tone (beep), vibration (buzz), and 21 levels of static stimulation in either momentary (nick) or continuous modes. To operate the remote:

Turn on the remote transmitter by pressing and holding the side button until the indicator light turns on.
Select the desired stimulation type (tone, vibration, or static) using the mode dial on the remote.
Adjust the intensity level of the static stimulation using the intensity dial.
Press the corresponding button on the remote to activate the selected stimulation type.
Turn off the remote transmitter by pressing and holding the side button until the indicator light turns off.

6. Training Your Dog

Consistency and perfect timing are critical to developing your sporting dog. The remote transmitter is designed for quick and easy operation without having to look at the device, allowing you to focus on your dog and not your equipment. Follow these tips for effective training:

Begin training with the lowest level of stimulation and gradually increase as needed.
Use a combination of tone, vibration, and static stimulation to find the most effective method for your dog.
Always reinforce positive behavior with praise and rewards.
Practice training in various environments and situations to ensure consistent behavior.
