100A specifications

The SportDOG 100A is a state-of-the-art electronic collar designed for training dogs, particularly hunting and sporting breeds. This device is engineered to deliver reliable performance for both novice pet owners and professional trainers, making it one of the most sought-after tools in the market today.

One of the standout features of the SportDOG 100A is its impressive range. With a transmit distance of up to 1000 yards, this collar allows trainers to maintain control and communication with their dogs even from a significant distance. This is particularly beneficial during field training sessions or hunting expeditions, where the dog may be far from the handler.

The SportDOG 100A incorporates 7 levels of stimulation, allowing users to tailor the intensity of the correction to suit their dog’s temperament and training needs. This gradual approach to stimulation can reinforce positive behaviors and discourage unwanted actions without causing excessive stress to the animal. Additionally, the collar features a tone and vibration mode, providing alternative training options that cater to different learning styles.

Durability is another critical characteristic of the SportDOG 100A. This collar is waterproof and submersible, making it suitable for use in various weather conditions. Whether it's a rainy day or a dive into a lake, the SportDOG 100A continues to function flawlessly, showcasing its rugged build quality designed specifically for outdoor use.

The collar is powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, which offers a robust runtime. Users can expect up to 70 hours of continuous use on a single charge, ensuring that the collar is ready for training sessions without frequent interruptions. The battery indicator helps users keep track of charge levels, eliminating the guesswork associated with battery life.

Moreover, the SportDOG 100A showcases a sleek and ergonomic design that ensures comfort for the dog during extended wear. The adjustable strap accommodates various neck sizes, securing a snug fit to prevent slippage while maintaining the dog’s comfort.

Overall, the SportDOG 100A stands out in the realm of dog training collars with its impressive range, customizable stimulation options, durability, and user-friendly features. This collar is an ideal choice for anyone looking to enhance their dog's training experience while ensuring their safety and comfort. Whether used in professional training or casual outings, the SportDOG 100A proves to be a reliable companion for both dogs and handlers alike.
