SwiftPaws Pro Series
Frequently Asked Questions & Product Comparison Guide
βοΈ Product Comparison & Use Cases
What is the main difference between the Pro Sport and the Pro Alpha?
Which model is right for my specific needs?
- Choose the Pro Alpha if: You are hosting official, high-volume competitive trials and tests (such as AKC Fast CAT, UKC Precision Coursing, or CPE Drag Race) that feature long-distance layouts up to 600 yards and require maximum racing speeds.
- Choose the Pro Sport if: You are a dog trainer, doggy daycare owner, or community organizer running smaller try-it courses, demo courses, or short competitive events. For example, on a short 50-yard layout like the UKC Dash, the Pro Sport will work beautifully and the Alpha would actually be overkill. The Sport is also the more budget-friendly choice.
Will grass height or course setup affect the machine's speed?
π οΈ Build Quality & Hardware
How are the Pro Series machines constructed?
What components do the Sport and Alpha share?
- The exact same heavy-duty drive wheel mechanism (accessible by pulling the front locking pin and lifting the top open).
- The exact same high-durability internal bearings.
- The same protective structural shields.
- The same chassis layout, including the control handle plug interface and separate power line connection.
I hear a fan running as soon as I plug the machine in. Is that normal?
β‘ Power & Controller Operation
What kind of power source do these machines require?
How can I ensure my power source is safe for the machine?
How does the speed controller work?
Can I switch running directions on the fly?
Can I use a Pro Alpha controller on a Pro Sport machine (or vice versa)?
π¦ Kits, Pulleys, & Accessories
What comes included in a Pro Series kit?
What is the difference between the Pro Pulleys and Home Series Pulleys?
- Pro-Grade Pulleys: Heavy-duty commercial units injection-molded from glass-filled plastic to resist severe hot and cold climate distortions. They feature a robust hinged-open design, dual internal sealed bearings, and a large 4-inch wheel profile that elevates the line higher off the turf and rotates at lower RPMs to eliminate high-speed line wear.
- Home Series Pulleys: Lightweight, non-hinged compact units molded out of slick unreinforced nylon (PA6). They rely on a single internal bearing layout and guide the running line much closer to the ground level.
Can I use both types of pulleys at the same time?
Are the pulleys safe if a dog accidentally runs into or steps on them?
πΊπΈ Manufacturing, Warranty, & Support
Where are SwiftPaws Pro machines made?
What kind of warranty comes with the Pro Series?
