SportDog, SD-425XS, FieldTrainer 425XS

This means you can communicate effectively with up to three dogs within a 500-yard range when using the Add-A-Dog® collars.
Sporting an upgraded, matte collar strap for the receiver, the FieldTrainer 425XS combines functionality with style.

In the field, the compact receiver profile reduces bulk during long upland days, and the newer matte collar strap resists wear in wet conditions. Its waterproof construction supports rain-soaked cover and shallow-water retrieves without compromising signaling reliability. With up to 500-yard range, you stay in position while your dog works through varied cover and terrain. The remote uses a no-look interface: a subtle dial movement and a single button deliver a tone, vibration, or one of 21 static levels. The expandable system supports training three dogs with Add-A-Dog collars, useful during field trials or multi-dog handling. Battery life is practical: a two-hour recharge yields 50–70 hours of use, depending on stimulation settings. A low battery indicator helps plan maintenance between training sessions. The collar fits dogs 8 pounds and larger, with necks from 5 to 22 inches, making it suitable for many upland and waterfowl working breeds. In upland work, field trials, and waterfowl retrieves, the system provides reliable signaling under demanding conditions. After wet sessions, rinse the collar and strap and let them dry before storage. Regular checks ensure transmitter and receiver stay aligned and the fit remains snug for field reliability. Final note: ensure a proper fit and routine checks before each day’s training starts.
