So hard to thread the Sports Dog sensor
We have a SportsDog sensor and really have a hard time wrestling the collar, that comes with the sensor, onto my puppy every morning. She behaves so well once it is on, but that first ten minutes is a mess (puppy needs to relieve herself) and frustrating. We don't let her sleep with it on, so we needed to find a way to get the collar on her quickly. This collar was recommended to us. And I agree it is durable and well made, but once we received it - it took us four hours to thread the collar through the sensor. Which is why I'm giving three stars Maybe it's not fair to ding Sparky Pet Co with an okay rating, but I believe the consumer needs to know this is a problem. We couldn't find any tutorials to help us with the threading the collar through, so here are a few pointers:* Clip the end at 45 degree angle so that there is a point to thread it through. It's much easier to get a point started that the whole 3/4". But don't do this if you need the full collar. We have a Golden Retriever puppy and know that we need some growth, but not the whole collar. So we were fine shortening it down.* You must use a lubricant. In our case we used WD-40. The collar will not make it through without some lubricant. But once we began using WD-40, it was a game changer.* Pliers - We also used needle nose pliers. They help get it started by mashing down the point and pulling the first fibers through. Once you do get it started, pull it through by grabbing the width of the strap with the pliers and leveraging it against the censor's hard shell.* Thread it through far - We thought we would only need to thread it through barely, like maybe one or two holes - not the case. We needed it to go through almost all the way where the buckle begins. You may not need it to go this far, it was disheartening when we realized this. So just be aware how far you need the strap to go once you get it started.Now that the sensor has been threaded on, it's great. It's definitely what we needed. But I will never get those four hours back - all spent threading a sensor on to dog collar.The above are tricks I wish I understood before we got started. Thanks to those who gave us some of these pointers. Good luck :)

Fits the Garmin Sport-Pro perfectly
Went from the original collar that came with the unit to a bungee. That worked okay until she chewed the ends. Replaced a bungee. That was all good until new puppy kept tightening the collar. We switched to this and it was the best thing we could have done. Now the pupster, almost a “dog” next month. She needs a bit of correction and the unit I purchased is only the unit with no collar. So I am back to purchase a second one. I know some people are complaining because there was no D ring to attach a leash to. For those folks… you NEVER attach a leash to an e-collar. That is what your dog has a collar or harness for.

Great replacement e-collar with both quick release and adjustable buckles!
I love the material plus the quick release buckle (seen in first pic) in addition to the adjustable buckle makes it super easy to put on and take off of her. The collar that came with our ARC hands free plus electric collar (see pic for ARC box) only had the adjustable buckle and was difficult for me to manage especially when I would be trying to put it on in a rush. We tried some nylon collars but they absorbed her oils and began to smell horrible! This collar fits perfectly with the ARC set. Just be careful you don’t trim off too much excess like I did (see pic) and the end of it comes out of the latch and flaps around. It wasn’t so bad at first but I didn’t take into account how quickly she’d grow and we’d need to adjust the collar. Buying another one because it’s well worth it for the quality and price!

Little light putting it on the device
Works great much easier than trying to mark the right hole on the stock from factory collar or choking your dog because u put it too tight. Just click and go and your up and running in seconds. Would def buy again!

Love it!!!
So I read reviews and yes it is a mfr to get onto a Sport Dog yard trainer but that sucker isn’t going anywhere lol I used needle nose pliers to pull through the device and it’s very weird it’s extremely thick but not as wide as the bungee one they carry so that was slightly disappointing because the bungee collar is sturdy but my dog is a psycho who chewed up and ate part of the bungee which is why I went with this. I needed something that would be easy for my kids to get in & off our crazy dog.

Peace of mind
I was hesitant to get the item because I was afraid it was gonna be too flimsy. I was pleasantly surprised at the product quality, the design of the product and the brilliance of color. Very pleased.

Looks good works as it should
Works great for my SportDog invisible fence receiver. I dont let my dog sleep with the receiver at night so having a quick clasp to take on and off is great. The reflection is good and can still fit my dog's slip on bandanas. My dog seems to feel comfortable with it on (at least enough to nap on the couch).

Not what I was hoping for
Loved the ease of this collar and the bright colour however after a month the clip has broken. We do not put this collar on everyday it is only used when we are going somewhere that he will be off leash and it still broke. Super disappointed.
