Sport Dog Remote Trainer SD-1825X Manual

 

HOW THE SPORTDOG SD-1825X SYSTEM WORKS

Your SportDOG® SD-1825X system has been proven safe, comfortable, and effective for all dogs over 3.6 kilograms. Consistent, correct use of this product allows you to reinforce commands and correct misbehaviour as far as 1600 metres.

THE COLLAR RECEIVER IS CAPABLE OF DELIVERING FOUR TYPES OF STIMULATION

 

CONTINUOUS: You control both when and how long static stimulation is delivered, up to a maximum of 10 seconds. After 10 seconds, the stimulation will “time out” and the Transmitter button needs to be released and then pressed again before additional static stimulation can be delivered.

MOMENTARY (NICK): Static stimulation is delivered for 1/10 of a second, regardless of how long the button is pressed.

TONE: The Collar Receiver will make a rapid beeping noise when a Tone button is pressed.*

VIBRATION: The Collar Receiver will vibrate when a Vibration button is pressed, up to a maximum of 10 seconds.*

*Tone and vibration come preset and are not adjustable

STEP::3 FIT THE COLLAR RECEIVER

IMPORTANT: THE PROPER FIT AND PLACEMENT OF THE COLLAR RECEIVER IS IMPORTANT FOR EFFECTIVE TRAINING. THE CONTACT POINTS MUST HAVE DIRECT CONTACT WITH YOUR DOG’S SKIN.

To ensure a proper fit, follow these steps:

1. With your dog standing (3A), place the Collar Receiver as high as possible on your dog’s neck, slightly to either side, so the Contact Points are touching the skin (3B). If your dog has a long or thick coat, you have two options to ensure consistent contact: either trim the hair around the Contact Points or switch to the longer Contact Points included with your system.

2. The Collar Receiver should fit snugly, yet loose enough to allow one finger to fit between the strap and your dog’s neck (3C).

3. Allow your dog to wear the collar for several minutes, and then recheck the fit. Check the fit again as your dog becomes more comfortable wearing the Collar Receiver.

---

STEP::4 FIND THE BEST INTENSITY LEVEL FOR YOUR DOG

FINDING YOUR DOG’S RECOGNITION LEVEL

NOTE: Every dog is different and you cannot predict where your dog’s Recognition Level will be. Watch closely for any slight change in behaviour that demonstrates your dog is feeling the static stimulation.

1. With the Collar Receiver turned on and properly fitted to your dog, set the Remote Transmitter’s Intensity Dial at Level 1 and press the Continuous Static Stimulation Button for 1 to 2 seconds.

2. If your dog shows no reaction to Level 1, go to Level 2 and repeat the process.

3. YOUR DOG SHOULD NOT VOCALIZE OR PANIC WHEN RECEIVING STATIC STIMULATION. IF THIS HAPPENS, THE STATIC STIMULATION LEVEL IS TOO HIGH AND YOU NEED TO GO BACK TO THE PREVIOUS LEVEL AND REPEAT THE PROCESS.

4. Once you find your dog’s Recognition Level, this is the level you should use when you begin a training exercise.

5. If you have progressed to the highest static stimulation level while searching for your dog’s Recognition Level and your dog continues to show no response, check to see if the Collar Receiver is snug against your dog’s neck. Then go back to Intensity Level 1 and repeat the process. If your dog still does not indicate he is feeling the static stimulation, you have three options: you may either have to trim the hair beneath the Contact Points, switch to the longer Contact Points included in your system, or change to a higher static stimulation range.

If after completing all of these steps your dog still does not indicate he is feeling the static stimulation, please contact the Customer Care Center at 1300 843 364.

CHANGING STATIC STIMULATION RANGES

Your SportDOG® Brand Collar Receiver comes with 2-3 static stimulation ranges depending on the model.

In the Remote Transmitter’s default mode there are 21 static stimulation levels within each range, with 1 being the lowest and 21 being the highest. The default range setting is 2 or medium.

To change the range of static stimulation, follow these steps:

1. Make sure the Collar Receiver is off.
2. Then turn the unit on by pressing and releasing the On/Off button.
3. After the Indicator Light turns off and within 5 seconds, press and hold the On/Off button for 3 seconds.
4. The Collar Receiver will then beep and the Indicator Light will flash orange as indicated by the chart below. Continue to hold the button until the number of beeps/orange flashes equals the desired stimulation range shown.
5. Release the button once the desired range is selected; the Collar Receiver will turn off.
6. Turn the unit back on. It will then beep according to the static stimulation range selected in Step 4.
 

BEEPS	STATIC STIMULATION RANGE	DOG TEMPERAMENT
1 beep	Low	Mild
2 beeps	Medium	Moderate
3 beeps	High	Stubborn

 

GENERAL TRAINING TIPS BEFORE TRAINING YOUR DOG WITH THIS PRODUCT

You will have the most success using this remote trainer if you always remember to teach a command before trying to reinforce the command with a remote trainer. Your training will be easier and proceed faster if you follow the guidelines in this Operating Guide. In addition, always keep the following training tips in mind:

• Eliminate one misbehaviour or teach one obedience command at a time. If you move too fast with the training, your dog may become confused.

• Keep your training sessions positive, short, and frequent. If you or your dog become frustrated or confused, it’s best to take a break.

• Be consistent. Give your dog a tone, vibration, or static stimulation with each misbehaviour.

• Do not overcorrect your dog. Use as few stimulations as possible to train your dog.

• Restrict your dog from situations in which he has a history of misbehaving unless you can supervise him and use your remote trainer for applying tone, vibration, or static stimulation.

• If you notice one situation in which your dog misbehaves repeatedly, set up this situation as a training session. This will dramatically increase your chances of success.

• If your dog has a timid reaction to the tone, vibration, or static stimulation (especially the first couple of times), do not be alarmed. Redirect his attention to a simple and appropriate behaviour (i.e. a known command, such as “Sit”).

• Never use your remote trainer to correct or eliminate any form of aggressive behaviour. If your dog exhibits such behaviour, contact a professional trainer. Aggression in dogs is the result of many factors – it may be a learned behaviour or it may be brought on as a result of fear. Another factor contributing to aggression in dogs is social dominance. Every dog is different.

At this point, your remote trainer is ready to use. The Transmitter is factory set to mode 5:1, but you may wish to change the mode to fit your situation. See STEP 05 for an explanation of mode options.

STEP::5 PROGRAM THE REMOTE TRANSMITTER

Your Remote Transmitter has seven operational modes to allow you to select the best match for your type or style of training. There is also one programming mode (Mode V/T) which allows you to change the system’s ID code. The Remote Transmitter is factory set to mode 5.

TO CHANGE THE MODE

1. Referring to the "SD-1825X / SD-1825XCAMO MODE CHART", choose your desired mode number (1-7) and toggle position (a or b). Adjust both the Intensity Dial and Toggle Switch to match your desired mode.

2. Turn the Remote Transmitter over and remove the belt clip (if attached).

3. Using a pen or the tine on the buckle of your collar strap, press and release the Mode Button. When the Mode Button is pressed, the Transmitter Indicator Light will be solid in color. When it is released, it will flash a number of times that corresponds to the mode selected.

For example, if mode 6:a is desired, switch the toggle to the grey/a position and adjust the Intensity Dial to Level 6. Once the Mode Button has been depressed, the Transmitter Indicator Light will be solid, and once the Mode Button is released, the Transmitter Indicator Light will flash 6 times. However, if you select Mode V/T (ID Code) in the grey/a position, the light will remain solid in color once the Mode Button is released

* Factory Default Mode.
** For two-dog operation setup refer to STEP 07
*** For three and six-dog operation setup refer to STEP 07

** Locate Remote Beeper: The Side Button turns run mode off and locates the Remote Beeper. To enable run mode again, press and hold the Side Button for 3 seconds.
** Remote Launcher: Match your SD-1825X or SD-1825XCAMO Transmitter to your Launcher Receiver by pressing and holding the Launcher Receiver’s On/Off button.

When a “P” appears on the Receiver’s LCD, press the Upper Button on your Remote Transmitter. Your Remote Transmitter and Launcher Receiver are now matched. The Side Button on your Remote Transmitter will be used to activate your Launcher basket.

STEP::8 CHANGE ID CODES

An ID Code is the signal identification between the Remote Transmitter and Collar Receiver. Each is programmed in 1 of 2,000 ID Codes from the factory. The Remote Transmitter has the flexibility to program two or more Remote Transmitters to the same ID Code, allowing them to control one Collar Receiver. There are 64 programmable ID Codes available.

TO MANUALLY PROGRAM A REMOTE TRANSMITTER’S ID CODE

1. Turn the Intensity Dial to V/T and then press and release the Mode Button on the back of your Remote Transmitter. This does not change the mode, so the current mode will still be active after the ID change is complete.

2. Once the Mode Button is released, the Transmitter Indicator Light will illuminate solid green and stay on for 15 seconds.

3. While the green Indicator Light is on, turn the Intensity Dial to select the 1st digit of the ID and then press and release the Side Button. The green Indicator Light will flash rapidly confirming selection.

4. Again, while the green Indicator Light is on, turn the Intensity Dial to select the 2nd digit of the ID and then press and release the Side Button. The green Indicator Light will flash rapidly confirming selection. The 2nd digit is optional and, if not desired, wait until the green light turns off and refrain from pressing the Side Button.

5. At the end of 15 seconds, or after the second press of the Side Button, the green Indicator Light will turn off and the ID of the Remote Transmitter will be updated. At this point, the Remote Transmitter will be in the same mode it was in prior to setting the ID.

6. Upon changing the ID Code, you will need to match the Collar Receiver to the Remote Transmitter (see STEP 06).

NOTE: If you press the Side Button only once (skipping Step 4) the ID is still a two digit ID. The left digit is defaulted to 1. For example, if you selected 6 in Step 3 and pressed the Side Button only once, the ID you get will be 16.

TO RETURN THE REMOTE TRANSMITTER TO THE FACTORY ID

1. Turn the Intensity Dial to V/T and then press and release the Mode Button on the back of your Remote Transmitter. This does not change the mode, so the current mode will still be active after the ID change is complete.

2. Do not press any buttons and wait until the green Transmitter Indicator Light turns off.

3. You will need to match the Collar Receiver to the Remote Transmitter (see STEP 06). ACCESSORIES To purchase additional accessories for your SportDOG® Remote Trainer, contact the Customer Care Centre 1300 843 364.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Is the static stimulation safe for my dog?	While Continuous or Momentary static stimulation may be unpleasant, it is harmless to your dog. Electronic training devices require interaction and training from the owner to achieve desired results.
How old does a dog have to be before using this remote trainer?	Age is not as important as your dog’s developmental ability to learn. Your dog should be able to learn basic obedience commands such as “Sit” or “Stay.” The Collar Receiver may be too large for dogs under 3.6 kilograms
Once my dog is trained and has been obeying my commands, will my dog have to continue to wear the Collar Receiver?	Your dog may need to wear the Collar Receiver from time to time for reinforcement. Also, many hunters keep the Collar Receiver on their dogs while hunting for maximum control because they possess a high drive and experience many distractions while in the field.
Is the Collar Receiver waterproof?	Yes. If the rechargeable battery pack ever needs to be replaced, make sure the o-ring and o-ring groove are free from dirt and debris
Can my Collar Receiver be used around salt water?	If the Collar Receiver is used in or around salt water, the Collar Receiver should be rinsed with fresh water following each use
Can I use this remote trainer with more than one dog?	Yes, your remote trainer is expandable to a maximum of 3 dogs (up to 6 dogs for SD-1825X-E). SportDOG® Add-A-Dog® Collar Receivers must be purchased. Please refer to page 15 for a list of compatible Collar Receivers.
Can I use this remote trainer on aggressive dogs?	We do not recommend any of our products to be used on aggressive dogs. We recommend you contact your local veterinarian or professional trainer if you believe your dog might be aggressive
Will I get the exact range claimed with this remote trainer?	The range you get with your remote trainer will vary according to terrain, weather, vegetation, as well as transmission from other radio devices. To get the maximum amount of range, please refer to “How the System Works” section of this guide.
How long can I continuously deliver static stimulation to my dog?	The maximum amount of time you can press the Continuous Static Stimulation Button and deliver static stimulation to your dog continuously is 10 seconds. After 10 seconds, the Remote Transmitter will “time-out,” and the Continuous Static Stimulation Button must be released and pressed again
What do I do if my dog’s neck becomes red and irritated?	This condition is due to the Contact Points irritating the skin. Discontinue use of the Collar Receiver for a few days. If the condition persists for over 48 hours, see your veterinary surgeon. Once the skin returns to normal, resume use and monitor the skin condition closely. Avoid leaving the collar on your dog for more than 12 hours per day.
The Intensity Dial seems difficult to rotate. Is this normal?	Yes. This prevents accidental changes in intensity and encourages an optimal waterproof seal. The knob will “break in” and be slightly easier to turn as you use it.
Can I attach a lead to this remote trainer?	DO NOT attach a lead to your remote trainer. You may put a separate non-metallic collar on your dog’s neck and attach a lead. Be sure the extra collar does not interfere with the Contact Points.
My Remote Transmitter is sending a signal to more than one Collar Receiver unintentionally, what should I do?	In the rare event this occurs, you can change your Remote Transmitter’s ID Code (see STEP 08).
