I have a Sport Dog brand. It works fair at best. It was the mid-grade one for about $200.00. It claims to have a 500 yard range, I have never been able to get it to work past 100 yards.

My new one will be a Tri-Tronics or Innotek.

I use a Dogtra 2500 TB and it is great. It crapped out once and I sent the whole kit in (after 2 years) and they fixed it right up and cleaned it. The transmitter had gone bad so it was only effective to about 75 yards.

Collar clinic is now about 20-30% more expensive than dealing directly with Tri-Tronics on replacements.
