The SportDOG SD-825X is covered by a manufacturer’s warranty for 2 years.
The collar strap included in the kit is suitable for medium to giant dogs with up to 60cm in neck size.
DryTEK Technology protects both Receiver Collar and Remote Transmitter from water. They are both completely waterproof and submersible so your dog can run through the rain or train on the beach.
The SD-825X kit is designed for mid-range sporting or working dogs. It can smoothly transmit signals for up to 700m.
With the SportDOG SD-825X, you can simultaneously train 3 dogs with 2 extra collars using the same remote transmitter.
Flexibility is in your hands with 21 stimulation levels in High and Low on either Nick or Continuous Mode. You also have the option of using a Tone only or Vibration only stimulation.
The SportDOG SD-825X Remote Transmitter and Receiver Collar are both rechargeable with long life battery capacity of 40-60 hours. Charging is a breeze and only takes 2 hours to full charge.

Your SportDOG® SD-825X 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 450 metres.
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.

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.

| V/T (IDCODE) |
N/A | N/A | See STEP 08 | N/A |
| 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). |
This system operates on two Li-Ion battery packs. Only replace with battery received from calling the Customer Care Centre.
• Batteries should never be removed from the battery compartment for charging.
• The rechargeable Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) batteries are not memory sensitive, do not require depletion before charging, and cannot be over charged.
• The batteries come partially charged from the factory, but will require a full charge before the first use.
• When storing the unit for long periods, remember to regularly give batteries a full charge. This should be done once every 3 to 4 months.
• You should expect hundreds of recharge cycles from your batteries. However, all rechargeable batteries lose capacity over time relative to the number of recharge cycles they experience. This is normal. If your operating time drops to half of the original life, contact the Customer Care Centre to purchase a new battery.
• The batteries should last for a period of 3-5 years. When a battery needs replacement, you can order a new pack by calling our Customer Care Centre. Please do not open the Collar Receiver or Remote Transmitter until you have received the replacement. Separate collection of spent batteries is required in many regions; check the regulations in your area before discarding spent batteries.
Please see below for instructions on how to remove the battery from the product for separate disposal.
AT END OF PRODUCT LIFE, USE THESE BATTERY REMOVAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR FINAL DISPOSAL (DO NOT OPEN THE COLLAR RECEIVER OR REMOTE TRANSMITTER UNTIL YOU HAVE RECEIVED THE REPLACEMENT).
1. Using a #1 Phillips screwdriver for your Remote Transmitter and/or a 3/32 Hex Key for your Collar Receiver, remove the case screws.
2. Remove the case back or cover.
3. Remove the old battery pack.
These instructions are not valid for repair or battery replacement. To avoid invalidating your warranty, please call the Customer Care Centre for help in replacing your battery with one that is specifically approved by Radio Systems Corporation.
