Review

Innotek’s SD-3000 adds remote training functionality to the SD-2000 (review here) for about an extra $50.  As we mentioned with the SD-2000 this is Innotek’s bare bones offering.  You get a reliable system, but lose desirable features, most notable the rechargeable collars.   

Like the SD-2000, you have a non-proprietary 3 volt battery that you can find in most drug stores and that runs about $5 and needs replacing about every 2 months according to Innotek.  You also lose the ability to manually adjust correction levels.  

As we mentioned in our review of the IUC-5100, remote training is not a feature we love.  We think it can be confusing to dog, especially in the first few months when they are learning how the dog fence works.

Summary: The SD-3000 is for those on a tight budget that need remote training capability.  The lack of rechargeable collar and adjustable correction levels are noticeable.

We bought this, within 1yr, we bought 6 collars (2dogs). We bought a new collar 3 wks ago and that collar is dead. Sent that one in, they sent us another collar and that one died within the first wk.

I purchased the Innotek SD 3000 contain n train about a month and a half ago and it has been one big nightmare the entire time. First collar didn’t even work, battery compartment full of some greasy liquid so they told me to send the collar back while they sent a new one. The new one works well with the remote but doesn’t light up or activate at all with the fence, not even with the test loop. So then they sent me an entire new system. Unfortunately, with this 3rd collar now, the collar is completely dead. Can’t be programmed, doesn’t light up, nothing. So from Innotek I have now gotten 3 defective collars in a row.
