is the sport dog collar sd 825 smaller than the sport dog 400 I need a durable collar for my golden who is very active and rolls alot

I use the 825 collar on both my lab mixes. They are about 60 pounds now so not too big, and they fit fine on their necks. They LOVE when I reach for the collars! It means we are going for a GREAT walk/run/swim! Good luck with your purchase!

I have not had 400, but our dog rolls, swims, plays and never had a problem with durability in a year with Sd 825. Our friend has same one for their pointer (we have big lab) and they are happy too.

The 825 is quite small. I use it on my german shorthair. Smallest, most powerful for it's price. Highly recommend.

I believe all receivers are the SAME SIZIE. Very durable, water proof, even submersible. .... - HUGE priority in picking out my unit was that it had - TONE + VIBRATE + STIMULATE modes and you could not ACCIDENTLY SEND the STIMULATING SHOCK. My 55 lb. DOBERMAN Puppy only needed a shock at the #4 setting to get her complete and undivided attention.... (used to bolt out of the dog park, only to run in the street) .... since the then, my verbal or whistle command gets immediate attention OR,,,, when I must "the BEEP" is all that is needed.

Both collars are very close in size and very durable. I have the 825 and know others with the 425. My dog goes trail riding with me and my horses and the collar has held up great even with rough use.

I don't know if it is. But I can say that my Belgian is pretty active and it works just fine and stays put.

Can you tell me the type of dog it is. Also is this going to be a long term collar, if so I have a few other ideas and suggestions on collars that are better for long term.

If your dog is not likely to be growing into a thicker neck, I would think (but can't be certain) that the small, which claims to go up to 12" and is only 3/4" wide might be the better choice. Otherwise you will have a lot of extra loop hanging down (which dog could get caught on). I have only had experience with the 1" wide large & medium collars. Good luck to you and your canine pal!

Thank you for your question! This product is for the Stay + Play Receiver collars. The item you are looking for is the SportDOG Brand SD-400/400S/400CAMO/800 Adapter Accessory .

Hi Brian,Yes, this collar will work with the SD-425 and a number of other SportDog remote trainers. Let us know if you have more questions. Thanks, EZDogFences

As far as the weight of the dog, the SD-105 does not specify what the highest weight size it will accommodate (it only states for dogs OVER 8 lbs), however, the collar is VERY long and can in my opinion fit the largest dog breed. I hope this helps.

I tried to find out as much information about these collars as possible. There is one school of thought that says do NOT get a quick release fastener if you have a strong/aggressive dog cuz it's possible for them to tug so hard that this release comes open. It surely makes putting the collar on and taking it off MUCH easier, I can say for sure. Look at some videos on YouTube for great information. Just measure the dogs neck for sizing. It's no problem to take some links out if it's too large. If you choose too small, you can order extra links as well. I've tried other collars and, believe me, this one has no competition.

The 1st sportdog collar I bought died after a year, but sportdog sent me a new one for free. I think it's only a 2 year warranty. I never checked

Nick, The collar is very big, I have an adult golden retriever mix and we have considered cutting down a portion of the collar. There are plenty of holes for any adjustment, large or small. Great collar!

Agreed with the other response. This is a pretty beefy collar and I would not use on a yorkie. Unfortunately, it's one of the negatives with buying a cheaper collar. I also have a sportdog and it is much smaller/lighter (and twice the cost).

Hi, I have a "mut" that is supposedly quite a mix; Akida, Wire Haired Datshund and American Bassethound and Doberman...well, he is 9 months, 50 lbs and SO SWEET. I have been training him since 3 months to be a service dog that can go into hospitals. Elderly, Sick Children and Chemo patients. The most important part of his training is to "heel" ALWAYS on my command. He is still a puppy and although pretty amazing...he tugs away at another dog...sometimes a blowing leave!! I tried a few collars/harnesses and leashes and this is the one I like best. It is EASY on/off. I HATE those metal "choke" collars, I don't care what the reviews say...they hurt!! This collar takes a little toll on your hands if your dog is strong but..I think the humanity of it is worth it. One quick tug and strong voice of discipline has been working for me. As a matter of fact..I just bought a few to give out at our dog park to some new doggie friends! I hope this helps. How much does your dog weigh?

The dog I purchased this collar for is a Jack Russel, a "mid-sized" dog. For a "SMALL" dog, I believe "I" would look at different models and try to find the one with the smallest "device" box. The box on this model, would probably be a bit too cumbersome for a very small dog. You might want to check with local dealers, such as pet stores and Farm Equipment store to find the smallest (yet effective) model, that you can. Then, see if you can find it for a less expensive price, online. In the -online- ads, under "Specifications", you should find the "size" of the box that holds the electronics. You must also consider the length and thickness of you dogs coat, to see if the electrodes will touch the skin, through the coat. Many models come with two different size/shape electrodes to suit your needs. My Jack, has a short, but very thick coat. So, a short, blunt ended electrode works for him.

The SD-425 S is an overkill for a small dog. 425 standard is more than enough. the SD-425 does have a vibrate/tone setting if the shock is too much. I would recommend putting on your arm to determine what you feel comfortable with. Also, these collars are designed as stimulation, not as a corrective device. Use it to reinforce what they already know. My dog has a habit of running when freed. When I call him, he basically in a state of saying "I don't hear you right now, got to focus on running" - the collar helps to redirect the mind so they will hear you.

Hello, I bought it for our golden who has had four knee surgeries when I got it he weighed 70lvs and now he is 105 and after adjustments it was a little snug on top of his shoulders but it still fit and he walked around as if no problem. After this I took it off and put it on our pit who weighs 50 lbs she's short and sticky adjusted it and it fit her just fine as well. I would recommend it because for our golden who had the surgeries it's a lot less impact vs having the leash attached to the collar. Also I bought a xl

You can actually contact thane.com who sell the Don Sullivan Perfect dog collars. S.M.L correspond with the neck measurement of the dog. Small is 14" to 18" and so on. For a puppy that is expected to grow into a large do you may perhaps want to size up since the dog will be growing. Best to check with the company though, I am not an authority.

From what I read most are chrome plated. I think they make some larger sizes in stainless but I'm not sure. I bought a 3.0mm, 16" collar for my 72 lb golden retriever. I had to remove several links to get it to fit snug and high on his neck, but he is a very thin golden. I could have gone with a small mm and I'm sure it would have worked well. There is an excellent video on YouTube about prong collars, how to fit, size etc. from a trainer that I have learned a great deal from. The video is "Solid K9 Training How to Prong Collar". He has other videos on how to start training with a prong collar etc. Good luck! From what I read most are chrome plated. I think they make some larger sizes in stainless but I'm not sure.
