Pros
- Waterproof, rechargeable system built for training in varied outdoor conditions
- Smallest collar in the SportHunter family for a more compact fit
- Reinforces commands from up to half a mile away

Considerations & Trade-offs
- The system is expandable to 3 dogs only with separately purchased Add-A-Dog collars, so multi-dog use requires additional investment.
- Range is listed at up to 1/2 mile, which is useful in open country but may be more than needed for close-range training.
- The collar is designed for dogs 8 lbs. and heavier with neck sizes from 5-22", so it will not suit smaller dogs or very large neck sizes outside that range.
- It uses static stimulation with selectable levels plus tone and vibration, so buyers should be comfortable with an electronic training approach.
