Let me start with the one negative...it is ...not made in the USA. The 825 is a lightweight compact unit that sits comfortably on my dog ( a 90lb american pitbul). It has clear, easy to use analog (as opposed to digital) controls that are easy to set and effective in gaining my dog's attention. it comes with a great little training manual that explained the how's and why's of using an electric training collar. it was an excellent primer. I've had the collar for about six months, it has performed flawlessly and i would reccommend it. I had one question early on and found sportdog customer service to be excellent.

I don't hav...e a hunting dog, but my dog likes to bolt at the park when exercising. With this collar on I have complete control and she hasn't bolted once in several years since I got my first SportDog collar. The first one didn't wear out... I lost it. These things are exception quality and they work very well. I would absolutely recommend this type and brand of collar.

We have had a few shock collars over the years and th...is is by far the best one. Had it for a few months now and no complaint at all! Use it on a daily basis.

I use this for my 2 80 lbs Labs. They are well behaved and onl...y need slight stimulation and verbal commands. They are off leash mostly.
