400 & 400S specifications

The SportDOG 400 and 400S are advanced e-collars designed for serious dog trainers and hunters who require effective, reliable, and user-friendly solutions for collar training. Both models embody a range of innovative features that streamline training processes and enhance communication between trainer and dog.

One of the standout characteristics of the SportDOG 400 and 400S is their impressive range. With up to 400 yards of coverage, these collars give you the flexibility to train at a distance, making them ideal for open field training and hunting scenarios. This extended range allows for more freedom of movement while maintaining control over your dog’s actions.

The SportDOG 400 and 400S utilize a state-of-the-art, 7 correction levels, allowing users to customize stimulation intensity based on their dog's temperament and training needs. This feature is essential for ensuring the training remains effective without being overly aversive. The collars are designed to deliver both static stimulation and vibration, which can be adjusted to suit the unique responses of each dog.

Durability is a key aspect of these e-collars. Built with a rugged design, they are waterproof and submersible, allowing them to withstand various weather conditions and environments. This feature is particularly advantageous for hunters working in wet conditions or for dogs that enjoy swimming. Additionally, the battery life of the SportDOG 400 and 400S is noteworthy, offering consistent performance that allows for extended outdoor use without frequent recharging.

Another important technology embedded in these collars is the DRYTEK technology, which provides a rapid response time, ensuring immediate feedback during training sessions. The SportDOG 400S model additionally includes a Remote Beeper, enhancing tracking capabilities—ideal for hunting breeds as it allows for locating dogs in dense cover or long distances.

The SportDOG 400 and 400S are designed for ease of use. Whether you’re a seasoned trainer or a novice, the intuitively arranged buttons on the handheld transmitter allow for quick adjustments on the fly. The lightweight design ensures comfort for the dog, enabling extended periods of wear without causing stress.

Ultimately, the SportDOG 400 and 400S are suitable for various training purposes, including obedience, recall, and behavioral correction. Their combination of range, durability, and user-friendly features makes them an essential tool for any serious dog trainer or hunter looking to enhance their training techniques effectively.
