Can a Lovetts add on beeper be repaired? It currently works sometimes and sucks batteries even when off.

They could only be repaired/replaced by Lovetts. Unfortunately, we are no longer able to get Lovetts products. We do accept them as a trade in toward something else & you will receive 10% off (up to $50) your new purchase.

I have a sportdog 425,I've changed batteries but still no reponse. Is it worth try to fix

Sometimes you can find the batteries off Amazon, or another off brand site. That's what we did.

SportDog Brand models are not repairable beyond battery replacement. Collar Clinic does offer a 10% off trade in credit (up to $50) for any old/non-working collars towards new or reconditioned systems.

Question on Google
I have a tritronics classic 70 2 collar w transmitter. Tone still works but won't shock, I'm assuming the batteries are expired. Are you able to fix this. Batteries & transmitter have been plugged in 24-7's sense it was new & not in use.

They will test and can replace what is needed. Not sure how much batteries or the prongs might cost if that is the issue. They're great to work with!

Question on Google
My remote goes red almost immediately after turning it on. I've had the batteries replaced but it still does the same, any suggestions? Is it worth fixing or should I just buy a new outfit?It still works but just goes red.

I'd go in and have them take a look at it. They are so helpful. We had a problem with our collar not working and they replaced it (of course it was still new). We have 3 dogs, 1 collar is older, we had a problem and they fixed it. I believe they have a diagnostic tool of sorts.

Sent the collar in for repair and came back still having issues. They sent return postage and had the collar repaired and back promptly. No complaints here, thanks!

The guy who answers the phone and begins his sentences with the word "Yeah" is awesome!!! Of all the merchants I contacted, collar clinic gave me the worst quote for my e collar trade in. Person who I talked to did not care, offered no advice and appeared to just want to go back to sleep. I even offered to buy an alpha 100 bundle on the spot if I got a better trade in offer but it was like talking to yourself followed by the word "Yeah" Hello "owner". I appreciate your reply but the 2nd hand information you were provided by your representative is not accurate. I left my telephone number with your rep for a return call but you did contact me. Don't bother doing so now as the matter is resolved and selling on my own was not the best option.

You get what you pay for, great collar/great service

Steven Stewart
5/5

Swamped my Jon boat ruined my tri tronics transmitter and my pride amongst other things. Was leaving for another hunt within three days and figured I’d have to go without a collar. Was informed that my old transmitter was unserviceable but they could get a newer G3 that would work.Ordered a replacement on Monday and received it on Wed. Can’t say enough about the service. Absolutely outstanding!

Paul is the greatest. He has the patience of a saint and the knowledge of a professor. MDT dog training never uses any other company to purchase collars.
