5.0 out of 5 stars Good collar for most needs, December 27, 2007

By	W. Scott Gibson - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Training Tool!, May 9, 2008

By	W. Hough - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good quality product - good training tool for dogs, December 22, 2008

By	Mr. Opinion (USA) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase

I purchased this collar to better train my dog. This was the first electronic collar I have purchased, though for a time I previously had an electronic fence/collar combo with a previous dog. I will limit my review to the product itself, and not the training philosophy or methods, as they are very subjective and I am certainly no expert.

The unit is top quality, very well made. It is fully waterproof on both ends - the collar itself and the remote unit that the trainer/handler uses. Operation is very simple and intuative, and I have not experienced any problems with it. With a very long range, this collar has the potential for many uses and should be highly reliable. My only minor complaint is the number of levels of stimulation available. There are essentially ten levels, marked 1-5 with 1/2 increments - but many trainers suggest that twice that number is better. It hasn't really been a problem, but I see their point.

The collar unit holds a charge for a very long time, and re-charges quickly in the provided charger unit.
