What's New in the SportDOG SD-1825X
14 preset TRANSMITTER MODES
Up to 21 levels of continuous STIM or 7 levels of momentary STIM with either non-stimulating tone or vibration (depending on transmitter mode)
Backward-compatible with previous SD-1825 series remote collars
The Sport Hunter SD-1825X is an incredibly versatile training collar and a good choice for all-around use. It is designed for a wide range of dog handlers including pet owners, obedience trainers, bird hunters, rabbit hunters, and waterfowl hunters.
The SD-1825X features 1 mile of range.
Both the transmitter and receiver are waterproof and submersible.
You can customize your SportDOG SD-1825X to match your training preference. It comes out of the box set up in MODE-5 (a 21-level continuous one dog collar with non-stimulation tone), but it can easily be changed into 14 different modes with different button configurations.
Gun Dog Supply Exclusive: One Hour BASIC OBEDIENCE Ecollar Training Video
$40 Value -- You get this FOR FREE when you buy this ecollar.
We are proud to announce that Professional Dog Trainer Robin MacFarlane is working with us! We just wrapped another video shoot, and are launching her latest DVD.
What's interesting about these videos is that Robin has never worked with these dogs before, and several younger dogs have never been trained on an ecollar.
First, Robin walks you through the basic obedience commands showing what proper form looks like.
Next, Robin shows how she introduces the ecollar to two of Steve's puppies, Jack & Tilly, and shows you how to find the right STIM level to communicate with your dog.
She then turns that into a lesson for your dog to recognize that STIM means pay attention to your handler and expands that into a basic recall.
Additional segments include teaching RECALL, PLACE, SIT, and HEEL.
Easy to upgrade to 6 dogs without loss of tone/vibration feature
Up to 21 levels of continuous stimulation or 7 levels of momentary stimulation depending on transmitter mode

Collar MODES
Another feature in the 1825X collar is the ability to change stimulation settings at the collar. The collar has a low, medium and high setting. This allows you the option of finding the correct range of stimulation for your dog. Lower the overall stimulation choices for more sensitive dogs and raise the levels for hard-headed or stubborn ones.
You can change the collar setting at any time. You can also have collars set up on different levels and work them from the same transmitter. This allows you the option of working sensitive and stubborn dogs from the same transmitter.

Stimulation from the SportDOG SD-1825X
The SD-1825X has multiple intensity levels, which allows you to choose the stimulation that is best for your dog
Intensity levels can be quickly adjusted with the dial on the side of the transmitter, meaning you can instantly adjust intensity whenever distractions increase
Teach yardwork/obedience and enforce known commands with lower levels of stimulation
Use higher levels to stop unwanted chasing or to overcome strong distractions
Up to 21 levels of continuous stimulation and 7 levels of momentary stimulation, depending on which mode you choose
The SportDOG SD1825X models can have a low and a high button for continuous stimulation. The low continuous stimulation levels and gradual increases between levels on the SD1825X are particularly useful with sensitive dogs or breeds.
SportDOG SD-1825X Range
Up to one-mile range, which is ample for most dog training or hunting situations. Actual range depends on training conditions, including weather, terrain, the presence of cover, etc.
When you buy your first ecollar you have to make a number of choices:
Do I want to train with continuous stimulation or momentary?
Do I want Vibration or Tone?
What if I want BOTH Vibration and Tone?
How much Range do I really need?
How many dogs will I want to control from one transmitter?
Do I need a regular stimulation collar or does my dog require a stronger stimulation level?
Is the collar's stimulation too strong for my dog?
What if I have a mild temperament dog and another one that requires a much higher stimulation level?
What if I need a different level for a softer dog?
It can be hard to make some of these decisions since many of our customers have never USED a training collar before.
I only use continuous stimulation, but you might prefer momentary. What if you THINK you want momentary and you buy a collar that only has a momentary heavy setup, and then find out 6 months later that you really prefer to train with continuous? If you go with some brands of ecollars, you are out of luck.
The SportDOG 1825X gives you the option of customizing your system to fit YOUR needs. It also allows you the option of changing the setup as your needs change or if you want different options in different situations.
My favorite thing about this particular collar is the toggle switch. It seems like something simple, but what the toggle switch does is it allows you to have multi-dog features that you can't have in a system that does not have a toggle switch. Some of their other units -- the 425X, the 825X, and the 1225X -- do not have a toggle switch. With the toggle, you can expand the SD-1825X to six dogs. When you put it into a six dog mode, it's one button per dog. So you have Dog 1, Dog 2, Dog 3, or flip the toggle and you have dogs 4, 5, and 6.
The 1825X comes with the larger SportDOG collar. It's not too big for most dogs, but it is bigger than what they have on the 425X and the 825X. It has low, medium, and high stim range COLLAR modes. It comes out of the box in medium mode. For most dogs, that mode will work fine. If you have a really sensitive dog and need to drop it down to low mode, you have that option. If you have a tougher dog that needs more stimulation, you can move it up into high mode. I have one dog that works in the high mode. The rest of mine work in medium mode. I've never had a dog that was so sensitive that they needed the low mode, but it's nice that it's there in case you run into a dog that needs it.
The SD-1825X is a really good all-around system. It's got a wide choice of stim levels and it's going to cover most dogs. We've been real happy with it. I highly recommend it for folks that are looking for a reasonably priced system that has a lot of versatility.
This is my second one of this model. The first went 11 years before dying. My dogs go to work with me almost daily and I hunt upland birds thru the season so this unit gets plenty of use. I used tritonics in years past and went to this Model due to size 11 years ago. It worked so well for me with 2 dogs that I didn't even look at other brands this time
Pros
Programability. Distance including around buildings. Size and button layout. Ease of using 2 dog collars
Cons
I don't have any.

I have used a few of the e-collars in this line from sport dog and the 1825 is by far the most versatile. The other collars are great collars, but they can leave you wanting more. The 1825 has more features than I could use and allows more customization for my dog.
Pros
More features than the other collars in the line, holds a very long charge, durable, buckle on collar is great, remote is very easy to use, buttons in good spots, it is compatible with the 800 series collar.
Cons
controller is bulky

Thought it was time to update my old SportDOG e-collar. For me there is no better place to get trustworthy information than Gun dog supply. I was open to a different brand but after going through reviews by Steve, I ended back up with SportDOG. I'm female with small hands so I love the small transmitter and easy to access buttons on the SportDOG SD-1825X Sport Hunter Remote Training Collar. I also purchased an add on collar. Switching between collars is a breeze and the options for setting up each collar is a big plus. I really like my new setup and can't thank Steve enough for helping make the right choice!
Pros
Easy set up. Smaller size for young or small dog. Simple to adjust stimulation levels.
Cons
None

I've owned a Sportdog collar since 2011 and used it every day running my dog and have never had a problem. Recently I misplaced the controller and ended up purchasing a new 1825x and trust that I will have many years of trouble free use. Great product and Gun Dog Supply is a great company to do business with. I appreciate the educational videos and the time Steve takes to review products so you know what you are getting before purchasing.
Pros
The small size of the controller and collar. The collar is lightweight and sealed very well preventing water from getting in.
Cons
Small item. The new system combines vibrate with tone. My preference is the old system where vibrate and tone are separate.

Great performance, and good value
June 7, 2023
I recently got a Sportdog 1825X remote training collar. I like it for its ease of operation and great performance. I have used Sportdog products for years that I have gotten from Gundog supply and never had a problem. You can you can run multiple dogs and have a long reach since my dogs like to run out to about 350-400 yards depending on terrain.. It's waterproof and pretty bomb proof. A lot of versatility and performance at a reasonable price.
Pros
I run French, Brittany
Cons
It works well for me and I can

I still have the previous model that my last dog wore for 12 years and it still works! I have a new dog now so I bought a new one for her. This newer model has upgrades yet is still simple to program and use. I wouldn't be surprised if this new one lasts as long as the previous model.
Pros
Easy to program and use
Cons
None

Great product. It appears to be of very good quality.
October 15, 2022
I love your product! My only complaint would be is the instructions are a bit confusing. I understand it might be necessary due to the complexity of offering so many different levels of simulation yet, you consider simplifying them in a way old guys like me could do a better job at setting up our transmitters and receivers. So, I'll just call customer support!
Pros
Quality workmanship and materials.
Cons
Instructions are difficult to understand and follow.

Great remote for reinforcing training on my Airedale Terrier. I can be watching from inside the house and buzz him without going out to get a clear line. Perfect for on the farm. Simple to use with plenty of battery life before it needs to be recharged. Fits in my hand very well.
Pros
Hand fit
Battery life
Ease of use
Power to go thru windows, brush etc
Range (distance)
Cons
None in my usage.

Great E-collar Training Tool
December 17, 2021
We own a 6 month old black lab that now tops 65 pounds. He is sweet but at times wants to travel away from me to explore the new surroundings while carrying his dummy. One nick with collar at level 2 he quickly responds to my voice and hand signal commands. Our ease of learning use of the e-collar and durability of use on water or land is 5 star.
Pros
Easy to use.
Works great land or water.
Training video that comes with e-collar is helpful.
You can charge collar and control device at same time with same charge unit as it has a splitter.
Easy to put collar on our dog.
Charge on collar and control unit last over 2 hours of use.
Cons
Found none.

Great Collar
June 17, 2021
This collar is amazing! I've only been using it for about 2 weeks and I already see a difference in off leash obedience. My dog comes when called off leash for the first time. The training resources that come with this collar are great, too. Can't wait to see what we accomplish with this collar.
Pros
21 levels of stimulation
Fits many neck sizes
Long battery life
Long range
Waterproof
Collar is not bulky
Training resources come with the collar
Cons
Remote is a little bulky

Switched to Sportdog after 32 yrs training retrievers & only using Tritronics. What sold me on Sportdog? Advice from a friend that's been training for 20+ yrs & using Sportdog collars for many of them. He swears by their reliability AND the fact that battery replacements are - and I assume, will be - available for many years after collar purchase. Tritronics always failed to support their product after just a few years - I have 3 working condition collars that only need batteries.
Pros
I like the compact ergonomics of the remoet &, the easy of making adjustments to stim levels/duration,
Cons
don't see any!!

Hello my name is Chris and my dog is Daisy Bear she is a 75 pound Husky/Lab and German Shepard mix and just turned 1 year old. I have had a hard time training her with pulling on the leash, I mean Daisy pulled so hard that she almost broke my wife's hand when my wife went to take Daisy on a walk and pulled my wife out the door. We tried leads that squeeze the chest if thy pull to hard, did not work!! We tried I no pull pinch collar, again did nothing so I sed what the hell and sed let's try the SportDog SD-1825X and I can not believe the difference in behavior!!!!!!! It took 1 day of caller training after watching the training video for my Daisy Bear to learn come, heal and sit. Daisy is now a dog my 8 year old daughter can walk and not feel scared of daisy dragging my little girl away!! I can not express how truly happy I am with this product the SportDog SD-1825X Its the best training tool out there. Just to be clear I have put the collar on myself and tested it on my self from the lowest setting to the highest setting before I put it on my dog 100% safe and effective. Thank you so much Gun Dog Supply, a truly great experience and amazingly friendly staff!!
Sincerely Chris Cox & Daisy Bear

Very happy so far
September 2, 2020
Quite a few years back I had a sportdog (equivalent of the 425 wetlands-maybe was the same name) that I was disappointed with. It seemed like it had a range of about 40 feet and the stim level was not effective. I went to a Dogtra after that and was content. Anyways, my dog had since passed and I finally was able to jump back in and get a new pup. I decided to go back to sportdog and so far very pleased. This unit has a great number of program options and features. It seems comfortable for him to have on, more so than the Dogtra. I primarily focus on waterfowl so I do not know what this would be like with multiple collars, dogs,etc. but for my purposes it has proven to be a good purchase. Only time will tell for longevity.
I do wish they would provide two collars for the receiver though. Pups grow up to become big dogs and if you trim it for a younger one, you are going to be replacing it when they get older or you will have to leave it flapping about when a smaller size. I bought a second one at the time I purchased this.
Pros
Seems light weight and comfortable for my dog to have on.
Battery life
Easy to change programs
Well built
The collar has a nice "rolling" portion on the buckle that is a nice add-on.
Vibration, Tone, and Stim are nice.Gives you options instead of having to blast your whistle across a field or lake!
Cons
No battery indicator on transmitter. That or I have yet to run it down far enough to notice. I charge both when the receiver requires it.
