What customers say about "Key Specs"
SportDog YardTrainer 350 Dog Training Collars for Around the House or Yard
  • The range is awesome - 350 yards!
  • The range is great, and the charge lasts a good long time. I would 100% recommend this product for anyone thats got a naughty pup or needs a little bit of help with training!
  • My dog exceeds the weight for this device by about two pounds is a little more than two years old. So I wasn't too concerned about it being unsafe for him.
  • This collar is great for my stubborn Chesapeake Bay Retriever. I really hate the idea of a shock collar, but we were out of options that fit our budget.
  • The only thing that I don't like is that the two contacts are a bit long and seem to bother her neck.
SportDog FieldTrainer 425 Waterproof Shock Collar
  • The tone and vibrate function are excellent for training a young dog especially when distractions interrupt the exercise
  • The stimulus features are well calibrated to address each dog's temperment.
  • This is a highly versatile tool with all of the key features needed to hold your dog's attention during training sessions.
  • She responds very well to the beep and we never have to give her any type of shock. This product has great range and is very dependable.
  • Range of reciever and different tone and vibrate settings are good; however, I recomend one that uses standard batteries.

What customers say about "Features"
SportDog YardTrainer 350 Dog Training Collars for Around the House or Yard
  • The battery life is better then previous models ( from 3 years ago ) I live in Alaska, so I use it in the winter months. this has double the life as previous models
  • The second button that gives a greater shock is a good idea in practice, but I rarely find myself using it.
  • My wife and I received the collar quickly, as is usual with Amazon, and opened it up and installed the batteries that are included. We were hopeful but skeptical of obtaining a positive result.
  • The batteries are the same for the receiver and transmitter ( thanks for this common sense item )
  • Batteries - takes 2032 lithium - flat coin ( cheap online, expensive in town )
SportDog FieldTrainer 425 Waterproof Shock Collar
  • Build quality of the unit is great; it is submersion-proof; and, charges very quickly.
  • It's compact and very easy to use, reasonable and very effective it takes very little for my dog to respond I'm really glad I purchased it.
  • Nice compact size and easy to learn how to use. Included DVD helped to get started quickly. Like rechargeable feature over having to mess with all the batteries.
  • Has good range and the battery life exceeded my expectations.
  • Very durable and made well. Small, lightweight, and charges quickly.
