This is my third electronic dog collar and by far the best. The previous collars were a Tritronics original Sport and an Innotek IUT-300. The original Tritronics Sport collar worked well but was cumbersome to change levels and had a too limited range of correction. The Innotek worked well and I liked the tiny remote but the range was not adequate for my needs. While it reached it's claimed 300 yard range under ideal conditions it dropped drastically when conditions were not ideal. We live on a 6 acre parcel in the country and there were occasions when I could see the dog but could not correct him. The Sport Basic G3 corrects all the others flaws. It has 10 continuous and 10 momentary corrections instantly selectable from the transmitter. The settings are easily repeatable even without looking due to the numbered click stop setting wheel. This wide range of corrections should accomodate everything from the most sensitive to the most stubborn dog. The Sport Basic G3 also has a tone function that can either be used as either a command, a warning, or for praise. I have associated it with the recall command so I can call the dog from beyond voice range. The Sport Basic G3 comes with a training DVD using the "escape" method of training. As with all electronic collars there is a huge potential for abuse. I recommend at least watching the DVD several times and better still call in a professional with electronic collar experience for a few lessons. Tritronics claims 1/2 mile range and I have not tested it. If I can see my dog I can correct him and it has worked in the same situations the Innotek failed. Most experts maintain Tritronics collars always meet claimed range and I have no reason to doubt it. Both collars and transmitters are completely waterproof and very well built. The transmitter is made from high impact Lexan with rubber armor. I have dropped it on asphalt from waist high with no damage. The Sport Basic G3 uses Tritronics newest receivers. These units are smaller and lighter than previous ones. The new collars are also capable of marrying to a transmitter in the field. With the addition of extra collars the Sport Basic G3 can be used to control up to 3 dogs. The collar charges quickly in the included charger and I get several days use out of a charge. The battery is also user replaceable when it dies. The transmitter operates on a standard alkaline 9V battery. Mine is going on the original battery after 6 months. Tritronics invented the electronic dog collar and has always been the number one choice for dog training professionals. The Tritronics Sport Basic G3 is an affordable example of why Tritronics is still the leader.

I got this collar about 2 months when treats and positive reinforcement were not helping much outside the house. Even with chicken and hot dogs in my hand my dog would run about and just do his own thing. i've tried every suggestion on the internet and have read multiple training books. This was my last resort as my dog's safety became an issue. In the house my dog is fine and mastered the sit/stay command, leave it, drop it, roll over, beg, shake paw, wave, and stand. However, once he is outside in the park and off leash his energetic side takes over and not even chicken or hot dogs can get him to obey the above mentioned commands. My dog is a highly energetic 1 and a half year old weimaraner/greyhound mix. Even having him outside and exercising him for about 3 hours a day was not enough to bring down his energy level to the point that he would obey my commands. One day he ran into the parking lot of an open park and it took me over a half hour and a near heart attack to get him back. I hadn't returned with him to the park and he was restricted to gated dog runs, which meant less time exercising since these dog runs are far away from my house. I followed the instructions and the dvd training that came with it, as well as, researching online. This collar has definitely changed my life and my dog's life. I now bring him on a regular basis to the open park and i hardly ever have to use the collar. He even sits and stays when he sees another dog and won't move unless i give the command. I even walk him back to the car off leash, which i park in the street. I'm still amazed that this is the same dog that use to run circles around me and fly to the other end of the park and nearly run into a busy intersection and get hit by a car. People think that this is torture and inhumane. I've tried this on myself and it is not painful unless you go to the highest settings and even with my energetic dog i haven't had the need to even come close to the midway point on the remote. Like i said i hardly even use it now. i probably average 1-2 times of use in the park over a one hour span. Most importantly his "come" command is spot on and will drop anything he is doing once he hears the command. I love this collar and the only inhumane part would be keeping your dog trapped in the house rather than having him run out in the open chasing the ball,playing with other dogs, and just simply sniffing off leash by your side. Remember its important to use it responsibly and take your time training yourself first. You won't be dissappointed.

I purchased this product to help with my dog's search and rescue training. He had a bad habit of chasing critters and getting horribly distracted. After just a couple training sessions with the collar, he obeys better than ever for every command, not just searching. He is quicker to respond and and generally more attentive. The collar fits him comfortably and has an excellent range. I bought the collar a month ago and have yet to need to recharge it; a testament to both its long battery life and effectiveness in training. The effectiveness in training is evident in the decreasing need to actually shock the dog as training progresses.

Exactly what I expected.
Product is well made and with proper use I can already see a difference in how my Shepard responds to my commands. Just be sure to educate yourself on the use of remote collars.

Excellent training collar.
This collar was recommended to me by a professional dog trainer. Needless to say it did not disappoint. The charger has a clever design that allows it to be wall mounted.
