Sorry I spoke out of turn.
Re: SportDOG
I hunt with guys using various brands of collars, and find that they all eventually have an issue of some kind. Not sure the perfect collar has been manufactured yet. Given that, it's nice to know that the manufacturer will stand behind the product. Kudos to SportDog for excelling in that area.
