Why I Use SportDOG Brand
I use SportDOG Brand for the reliability of the product, which aids in the better performance of my hounds and also assures their safety. During major coon hound events, I am able to help people with the product and give them my personal opinion and let them know how much I trust the product.
Favorite Products
My favorite SportDOG products are the SD-3225 and the TEK 2.0. I find these two products most efficient for the demands of coon hound training.
