Why I Use SportDOG Brand
When I started training, I purchased a SportDOG because it was affordable. I soon found out SportDOG products are tough and reliable. SportDOG will stand behind their product and are easy to reach when you have a question. I enjoy being able to make corrections on multiple dogs with one remote. SportDOG has also been a supporter of Tennessee's Wildlife Agency. Our agency has recently started a K-9 programme and has used SportDOG equipment. These officers and their dogs have quickly gained respect from the sportsmen in Tennessee.
