editorial review:

The SportDOG Brand FieldTrainer 425XS is a small, light e-collar. It's made for training or hunting with dogs that stay close by. The 'S' model gives a higher range of static stimulation than the regular 425X. This makes it good for dogs with lots of energy or those that are hard to train. 

Using the collar is easy. Just turn the dial and push a button to send your dog different signals - sound, vibration, or one of 21 levels of static stimulation. You can talk to up to three dogs at the same time if you buy more collars. This e-collar can reach up to 500 yards and is good for dogs over 8 pounds in weight. It's waterproof up to 25 feet because of DryTek technology and has rechargeable batteries that last between 50-70 hours per charge.

what we like:

  • Fit and Suitability: Fits various dog sizes
  • Long-Distance Control: Ideal for outdoor activities
  • Training Modes: Customizable vibration and stimulation modes
  • Designed for Stubborn Dogs: Built for high-drive dogs

what could be better:

  • Heavy Undercoats: Less effective on heavy undercoats
