SportDog, FS-825, FieldSentinal 825
The FieldSentinel 825 boasts a rugged and waterproof design, ensuring durability in harsh field conditions. It offers an impressive half-mile range for commanding control over distances, perfect for expansive outdoor environments. The device is equipped with lithium-ion batteries, featuring a rapid 2-hour charge and indicators for low battery, ensuring you're always ready for training sessions.
Training flexibility is at the forefront with the FS-825, offering a range of stimuli including tone, vibration, and seven levels of static stimulation. This allows for a tailored approach to training, catering to the specific needs and responses of your dog. The device is waterproof and submersible up to three feet, making it ideal for training in varied terrains and weather conditions.
Customization is key with the FS-825. The health alert thresholds are adjustable, allowing you to fine-tune the sensitivity of the alerts to your dog’s specific condition. This ensures that you are notified only when necessary, avoiding unnecessary interruptions. The device also offers a broad range of stimulation options, with seven instantly selectable static stimulation levels from the remote. For more precise control, these levels can be expanded to 21, divided into low, medium, and high ranges, ensuring the perfect level of stimulation for your dog's training needs.
The FS-825's button functions are also customizable, providing options for continuous, momentary, and rising static stimulation, as well as tone and vibration. This flexibility enables you to adapt the training to your unique methods and your dog’s learning style.
Designed for expansion, the system can accommodate up to two dogs with an additional collar, allowing for seamless switching between dogs via a toggle on the remote. This feature is especially useful for trainers or owners of multiple dogs.
The FS-825 is suitable for a wide range of dog sizes, catering to those weighing 8 pounds or larger, with neck sizes ranging from 5" to 22". The rechargeable batteries ensure a long-lasting 24 hours per charge, making it a reliable tool for extensive training sessions.
In terms of dimensions, the collar without the strap measures 3.7"L X 1.96"W X 1.53"D, while the remote with antenna is 5.15"L X 2.1"W X 1.22" D, making both components compact and easy to handle during training activities.

Field work demands gear that can keep up with hard-working dogs and wet, rugged conditions. The FieldSentinel 825's health monitoring and adjustable alerts support on-the-ground decision making, letting you tailor thresholds to your dog's condition during long retrieves or steady upland work. When training in variable weather, plan for downtime between sessions and use the test light tool to verify connections before a new set. After a training day, clean and dry the collar and remote, inspect the strap for wear, and store components with the mud plugs in place to preserve water sealing in damp environments. The system's expansion capability—up to two dogs with a second collar—lets you switch between dogs during mixed training days without scattering gear. A balanced routine also includes charging the remote and receiver promptly; the lithium-ion batteries respond best to a full charge, and the indicators help you monitor remaining power during field tests. In upland and waterfowl work, the tone and vibration stimuli provide non-aversive cues for recall and finish work, while the rising static options enable progression in tough training scenarios. Subtle, health-focused signals help keep workouts aligned with conditioning goals, reducing unplanned interruptions during field trials and extended hunts. This approach supports practical training workflows and safe, efficient handling of high-drive dogs in diverse environments.
