If you have a temperamental dog, then the SDF-100 is what you need for it. It doesn’t matter if your dog is hard to train since the SDF-100 has shown results with the most stubborn of dogs.
How It Works
The transmitter units emits radio waves, which extend to the end of the boundaries decided by the installer. Then, the dog has to be trained to get accostumed to the safe zone with the help of the training flags included in the set, so that it can have a visual aid of the location of the boundaries. When the dog gets too close to the limits of the safe area, the collar will emit a sound that is meant to be a warning. When the pet tries to cross the boundary limit, progressive static electric pulses are offered which in turn educate him to be contained within the preset area in the long run.
The system provides a collar that is resistant to water and can be worn in any type of weather: it works with a 9 volt battery that has to be replaced about every 9 months. The Sportdog’s in ground fence includes a DVD with instructions on how to install the system and how to use it to train your dog.
Additional Features
One of the remarkable features of this Sportdog in ground fence is the anti-linger mechanism that prevents the dog from wandering around the warning zone when the battery reaches exhaustion. Also, the correction received by your dog can be adjusted to match its temperament, which comes handy when dealing with very stubborn dogs. Other features that are worth mentioning are the indicator of battery level and the collar that can be adjusted to almost any size of dog’s neck.
The collar that comes with the SDF-100 can be used on dogs that weight at least 4 kilograms and a half. It’s not recommended for small breeds. The SDF-100 unit comes with a 1000 feet boundary wire and 100 training flags which can be further extended to a maximum of 100 acres of boundary area using extra wires and training flags. In addition, you can buy additional collars if you have more than one dog.
