I have had awful luck with my Sportdog collars recently.

Last year in Kansas, one collars and my tranmitter died. I replaced/fixed them. This past weekend in Kansas, I noticed that Izzy was heeling a lot and kept being a boot licker. I couldn't figure it out. Then I saw that my transmitter was continually zapping her. Luckily I had an older working transmitter that I could finish the hunt with.

I just called Sport dog and they can't do anything about it. The unit had a 2 year warranty, but since they sold it to me after it was discontinued it only had a 90 day warranty. I can replace the units for a discounted rate of $490. What a freaking deal.

That sucks, sorry to hear it.

I recommend these. We have two, two dog units, it is expandable up to 3 collars. The extra collars are $100.

Sorry to hear that. I was considering the sportsdog with beeper mainly because of the dial and the price.

Now I may need to fork over the cash for the TriTronics upland...or maybe the Dogtra 2500TB if I want to keep the price reasonable. Just dont like the dials on the dogtras.

CC does that have a beeper?

When it works, I really like my collar. I am going to have to look for a used transmitter because I don't want to throw away my 2 collars and 2 beepers because the transmitter is broken.

No beeper. I hate those things LOL. We have the Garmins mounted to the collars though.

I opened the tranmitter up and the nick button is broken. It is a spring loaded button on the circuit board. The spring part is broken so it just wobbles around in there and makes contact which zaps the dog.

Get a dc50. Or a tritronics....I have a sportdog but haven't ever used it that much

Anyway you can make the nick button inoperative?

That sucks... Least you had back up!
I use Aetertek, was gift from wife. Has beep vibration and shock " variable" and waterproof with up to 3 collars
Had it 2 years, used it for training at 1st.... This is 1st yr in field and seems to work great so far. does seem to have an extended delay time but for under $150, off eBay.... Worth every penny

On another note, with soldering iron you could remove the button from board if it's not needed

I have thought about trying to remove the switch. I wish I could find someone that knew how to fix them. Collar Clinic doesn't work on Sportsdog collars.

I came across this on LL Bean.

Not a bad deal for someone needing a basic collar or a backup. I noticed right now they also give you a $10 gift card and free shipping.

Saw a basic sport dog collar and remote on doctors foster and smith for 125

That sucks!! I use tri tronics & have had great success. A little expensive, but worth it & yes it has a beeper.

Thats not right.
Nothing but good things to say about TT.
