The short answer is “Yes”. The SD-2025 is an Innotek, battery replaceable, waterproof collar for the Innotek Pet Fencing Systems.

As a general rule, the products that begin with “SD” are compatible with each other. This means that the SD-2025 Collar is compatible with the SD-3000 Basic Contain ‘N’ Train System, along with the SD-2000 Basic In-Ground Pet Fencing System, and the SD-2100 Rechargeable In-Ground Pet Fencing System.

The restrictions are that the SD-2025 Collar will not work with the Remote Control for the SD-3000, nor is it compatible with the Ultrasmart products.

Question:

I hear about Radio Systems Corporation, but you don’t sell any products with this brand. Why is that?

Answer:

Radio Systems Corporation is the parent company of the Innotek and PetSafe brands. You won’t see products sold directly under the Radio Systems name. We stock of full lineup of Innotek and PetSafe products, and we are an authorized retailer for the Innotek, PetSafe and SportDog brands.

Question:

I hear about “Authorized Retailers”, what does that mean.

Answer:

It is important you buy your product from an authorized retailer. This means that the retailer has registered with Radio Systems Corporation, has agreed to abide by certain guidelines, and will represent the products in an ethical and accurate manner. Look for logos like the following:

Innotek Authorized Retailer Logo PetSafe Authorized Retailer Logo SportDog Authorized Retailer Logo

This is an important thing to look for. This assures you, the purchaser, that you will be properly supported by the manufacturers warranty and can make a product return for example. Note that MuttFence.com is an Innotek, PetSafe and SportDog authorized retailer.

When we say multiple dogs, we mean more than two. I used to joke that the big difference is going from one to two dogs, and any more just turns into a slightly bigger pack. That was until Hurricane Katrina hit, and we spent much of September 2005 rounding up stray dogs and finding homes for them all. We could for the little’uns, but not the big’uns, so we ended up with nine, big dogs! I digress …

If you have multiple dogs and need a trainer, you are confronted with two choices: 1) use a hunting dog trainer, or 2) use a two-dog trainer with multiple remotes. If you are not sure if you need a hunting dog trainer, then you probably don’t. They are more complex, and have a long range – over 1,000 yards – and consequently are more expensive than a regular trainer.

That leaves you with the option of the two dog trainer and multiple remotes. We know how expensive it is to feed the pack and take care of vet bills, so you’re on a budget, right? (How did we guess!) A great trainer for this purpose is the Innotek BT-502A Two Dog Remote Trainer.

Innotek BT-502A Two Dog Remote Trainer

Although the remote only controls two dogs, more units can be purchased. The trainer knows which remote to talk to via an ID and it is possible that the ID number of your new trainer will match the ID number of the orginal. In this case it is an easy fix: there is a process for resetting the ID number in the owners manual.

So, there it is. Help could be at hand. We know what it is like when the inmates try to run the assylum!

We were contacted by a lady that wanted to control two large dogs. The pet owner has 6 dogs, but said that the labs were a little badly behaved and she wanted something that would work to control them.

Initially she had looked at the PetSafe PDBDT-305 Big Dog Trainer since it is designed for dogs 40 lbs plus. She asked if this was the correct product and we told her that the PetSafe PDBDT-305 is an excellent unit, but is designed for only one dog.

For her situation, two large dogs, on a budget, and needing a range of 150 yards or less, we recommended the Innotek BT-502A Two-Dog Remote Trainer. This is an excellent device for pet owners with two dogs since it comes complete with two waterproof rechargeable collars and an easy to use remote.

She purchased the Innotek BT-502A and is very happy with the performance of this remote trainer. As with all of our collars, trainers and fences, the unit was shipped from stock with free shipping.

We received a call from a customer who was looking for two additional receiver collars for his fence. Problem was that he didn’t know what electric, underground fence he had. It seems like a simple problem, but it had been fitted by an Invisible Fence installer some time ago, then refitted by another installer.

After some time on the phone helping him locate the transmitter unit so that he could read off the serial number, we were read numbers that turned out to be the lightning protectors. Lightning protectors sit inline in order to prevent a lightning strike from destroying the transmitter, or causing damage to the house wiring.

For this particular customer, he had two lightning protectors (must have been from each of the visits from the installers). The transmitter unit, rather than sitting in-line, terminates each end of the wiring loop, so the wires in and the wires out lead to and from the transmitter unit. He unplugged the transmitter from the wall and read the serial number to us. We were able to identify the transmitter as being from an Innotek SD-2100 Rechargeable In-Ground Fencing System.

Knowing that the fence is an Innotek SD-2100, this gave us two options for collars: option 1, Innotek SD-2025 Basic Receiver Collar, or option 2, Innotek SD-2225 Rechargeable Receiver Collar.  Both receiver collars are compatible with the SD-2100. The difference is that the SD-2025 is about half the price of the SD-2225, but will require batteries to be changed periodically.

Our customer already had the collar charger, so he opted for the additional upfront cost of the Innotek SD-2225 Receiver Collars, knowing that an occasional charge would save on the cost of batteries over time. As with all of our collars, we shipped it to him via USPS 2-Day Air at no extra cost.

Question:

How many dogs can I add to the IUC-5100?

Answer:

As you know, the IUC-5100 is a combined fence and trainer – which is why it is called a Contain ‘N’ Train system. The trainer is capable of handling two dogs. The kit comes with one IUC-5225 Ultrasmart Receiver Collar and extra collars are available.

To add dogs to the fence, you do not need the remote training feature. For this purpose, the number of dogs is essentially unlimited. To add dogs to the fence only, you still need an Ultrasmart Collar, and the IUC-4225 Ultrasmart Receiver Collar is perfect.
