Overview

The SportDOG Brand FieldSentinel 825 is a revolutionary tool for serious hunters. It combines the proven effectiveness of an e-collar with cutting-edge technology that monitors your dog’s heart rate, exertion level, and activity duration. This data is then analyzed to determine their exhaustion level, providing crucial information that can help prevent overexertion and potential health risks.

Design Philosophy - Prioritizing Performance and Protection

The FieldSentinel 825 is designed with the needs of both the hunter and the dog in mind. Its rugged and waterproof construction can withstand the rigors of the field, while its ergonomic design ensures comfortable wear for your canine companion. The intuitive remote control provides easy access to all the collar’s functions, allowing you to focus on the hunt while staying connected to your dog’s well-being.

Bodyguard Technology - A “Check Engine Light” for Your Dog

This is where the FieldSentinel 825 truly sets itself apart. Bodyguard technology acts as an early warning system, alerting you when your dog’s exhaustion level reaches a concerning point. This alert, delivered via tone, vibration, and a flashing LED light on the remote, allows you to intervene before a problem arises. Whether it’s time for a water break, a rest period, or a closer examination, Bodyguard empowers you to make informed decisions that prioritize your dog’s health.

How Bodyguard Technology Works:

The FieldSentinel 825 utilizes advanced sensor technology to gather data on your dog’s physiological state. This includes:

  • Heart Rate Monitoring: Sensors in the collar track your dog’s heart rate, providing a key indicator of their exertion level.
  • Activity Tracking: An accelerometer measures your dog’s movement patterns, capturing data on speed, intensity, and duration of activity.
  • Exertion Algorithm: This data is fed into a sophisticated algorithm that analyzes the combined inputs to determine your dog’s overall exhaustion level.

This real-time monitoring and analysis provide valuable insights that can help prevent heatstroke, exhaustion, and other potential health issues, especially in high-drive hunting dogs that may push themselves beyond their limits.

½ Mile Range - Stay Connected in the Field

With a range of up to half a mile, the FieldSentinel 825 ensures you maintain control and communication with your dog even in challenging terrain. This extended range provides peace of mind, knowing you can rely on the collar’s training and monitoring capabilities throughout the hunt.

Understanding Range Limitations:

While the ½ mile range is impressive, it’s important to remember that various factors can affect signal strength and range. These include:

  • Terrain: Hills, dense vegetation, and bodies of water can obstruct the signal.
  • Weather Conditions: Atmospheric conditions can impact signal transmission.
  • Battery Life: Low battery levels in either the remote or collar can reduce range.

To optimize range, ensure both devices are fully charged and maintain line of sight with your dog whenever possible.

Versatile Training Modes - Beyond Basic Obedience

The FieldSentinel 825 is not just about health monitoring; it’s also a powerful training tool. Offering tone, vibrate, and static stimulation options, this e-collar supports a variety of training techniques. Whether you’re reinforcing basic commands or addressing specific behavioral challenges, the FieldSentinel 825 provides the flexibility and control you need to achieve training success.

Choosing the Right Stimulation Level:

The FieldSentinel 825 offers 7 levels of static stimulation, allowing you to customize the intensity to your dog’s temperament and training needs. It’s crucial to start at the lowest level and gradually increase until you find the level that gets your dog’s attention without causing discomfort or fear. Remember, the goal is to communicate, not to punish.

Training Modes Explained:

  • Tone: A simple beep that serves as an attention-getter or a marker for desired behaviors.
  • Vibration: A buzzing sensation that provides a clear and consistent cue without the use of static stimulation.
  • Static Stimulation: A mild electrical pulse that can be used to reinforce commands or interrupt unwanted behaviors.

It’s important to use these modes responsibly and in conjunction with positive reinforcement techniques to achieve the best training outcomes.

Waterproof Design

Submersible up to 3 feet, allowing your dog to navigate water obstacles without compromising the collar’s functionality.

Important Note on Water Use:

While the collar is waterproof, it’s essential to ensure the charging port cover is securely closed before submerging the device. After exposure to saltwater, rinse the collar with fresh water to prevent corrosion.

Rechargeable Battery

Lithium-ion batteries provide long-lasting power, with a quick charge time of 2-3 hours and a runtime of up to 24 hours.

Maximizing Battery Life:

  • Avoid exposing the device to extreme temperatures.
  • Store the collar and remote in a cool, dry place.

Multi-Dog Capability

Expanding Your Pack:

The multi-dog capability allows you to manage multiple dogs with ease. Each dog will require an additional collar (FS-AD), which can be easily paired with the existing remote. This feature is particularly useful for hunters who work with more than one dog in the field.

Durable Construction

Built to withstand the demands of the hunting environment, ensuring reliable performance season after season.

Care and Maintenance:

To ensure the longevity of your FieldSentinel 825:

  • Inspect the collar and remote regularly for signs of wear and tear.
  • Clean the contact points with a damp cloth to ensure proper conductivity.
  • Store the devices in a protective case when not in use.
