SportDog, SD-825X, SportHunter 825X
The SportHunter 825X is the entry point into the long-range SportHunter family — a half-mile of range on the smallest receiver collar in the lineup, for handlers who have outgrown close-working range but don't need to step all the way into the 1225X or 1825X platform yet. Twenty-one levels of static stimulation across low and medium ranges, with the range adjustable on the collar if the defaults don't suit the dog. The X-Series no-look dial carries over from the close-working 425 series — roll to the top for tone and vibrate, feel the clicks down through each stimulation level without pulling your attention off the dog. Stimulation range on the collar is adjustable if the low and medium defaults don't fit the situation. Button functions are configurable: continuous static, momentary static, tone, vibration, and remote beeper locator. Expandable to three dogs on one transmitter. For dogs 8 pounds or larger with neck sizes 5 to 22 inches. Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries charge in 2 hours with 50 to 70 hours of run time; low battery indicators on both remote and collar. Receiver without strap: 2.60"L x 1.30"W x 1.23"D. Remote with antenna: 7.00"L x 2.00"W x 1.24"D.

SportHunter 825X field performance relies on practical reliability. In field training scenarios, reliable feedback and straightforward operation matter more than complexity. For upland drills and waterfowl work, the no-look design lets a trainer deliver a quick correction with minimal distraction. The Add-A-Dog expandability supports synchronized cues across up to three dogs during group drills or field trials. Long field sessions are feasible thanks to rechargeable lithium-ion batteries that charge in about two hours and typically run fifty to seventy hours per charge. Waterproofing to 25 feet with DryTek technology keeps the system dependable in wet conditions, including retrieves and rainy weather. The upgraded matte collar strap contributes to a durable, secure fit during rugged terrain and fast moves. When paired with consistent cueing during practice, this setup helps maintain clear communication through long sessions afield. Fieldwork benefits from steady, practical training with this system.
