How To Pair a Collar to My SportDOG® 825X
Before You Start
- Make sure your remote is set to your desired mode. If you have multiple collars, you need a multi-dog mode. For more information and assistance, visit How To Change the Modes on My SportDOG® 825X Remote.
- To pair, you need the remote and all collars being paired. If you need to purchase additional collars, visit the following links.

Pairing 2 or 3 Collars
Reminder: The remote must be in a multi-dog mode to pair more than one collar. Modes allow you to change the function of the buttons. There are 2 multi-dog modes, and both allow you to have static stimulation.
- Choose Mode 3 if you want the ability to signal a tone to your dogs.
- Choose Mode 4 if you want the ability to signal a vibration to your dogs.
