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.

I have bought several collars from the Collar Clinic over several years. Their products are excellent, as is their customer service. One need not consider other sources.

I have had occasion to use collar clinic's services twice in the last couple of years. Both times, the efficiency, thoroughness and reasonableness of their service was extraordinary. I would not hesitate to recommend. They are the best!
