Educator CPAD-006 Dog Training Collar Receiver Comfort Pad, Improves Contact, Reduces Irritation and Skin Sensitivities, for Barkless Pro, Long Hair

I've got a 100 lb. shepherd mix with a very dense double-coat. I bought the Educator ET 300 mini a couple of years ago with the ultimate aim of achieving safe off-leash freedom for him wherever that is allowed. I tried all the different contact points that came in the kit and found them all to be hit-or-miss in terms of consistent, reliable contact (and therefore, communication). When the contacts worked, the collar was an amazingly effective tool. But since timing is so critical in communicating and training, the inconsistency, the failures to deliver the signal exactly when needed (or far too often, not at all), significantly undermined the process. I wound up using the "tapping"/pager function of the collar because he could at least feel it every time I hit the button. In low distraction situations and inside games like "hide and seek", the pager got 100% responses. However, there were times, outside, with big distractions, when it just wasn't enough to get his attention. For the longest time, the price of this CPAD contact seemed just too high to be worth it. To get the e-stim function to work reliably, I bought the longest contacts available, tried tightening the collar, experimented with different placements on his neck, etc. But no matter what I tried, contact was always inconsistent. When the signal went through, I get a good response. But more often than not, he didn't feel a thing. It was very frustrating. A couple of weeks ago, I finally "bit the bullet" and ordered this contact pad. It's been absolutely amazing. With his collar significantly looser, he is still getting consistent contact, feeling the communication signal clearly with the dial set as low 4 or 5 (out of 100). This pad has finally turned the Educator Mini into the powerful, humane, effective training tool it was always meant to be. It's worth every penny to be back on track to getting him the freedom he deserves!

Have an 85 LB catahoula leopard dog, coarse fur, not long but I can lower the Level of shock, and get the same results. We Don't need to have the collar quite as tight. Excellent product, coming up on a year of use and working great and never loosened up, holding tight. He did bend one side just a bit once out in the woods, but he love to roll around, and was just an easy pushing it back into proper alignment. I love we run with collar a notch or two less tight.

I thought twice due to the price but buy once cry once - just buy it. We had a golden retriever and used the CPAD-011 but the longer titanium one would have worked as well. We can use it on a very low stim and had great results - highly recommend!

After months of struggling with inconsistent collar contact on my thick-coated GSD, this CPAD-011 comfort pad solved everything instantly. The winged design with gold-plated titanium wings and brass contact points allows a looser neck fit while maintaining deep skin contact, perfect for his sensitive skin and dense double coat. No more hair trimming required for effectiveness this pad is specifically designed for long-haired breeds and eliminates the need to constantly groom around the collar area. The stable collar contact prevents fluctuating output currents, reducing fear and discomfort during training sessions. Installation was foolproof and it stays securely attached. Training consistency improved dramatically within days. My stubborn shepherd finally responds reliably at lower stimulation levels because the contact is so much better. Made in the USA with a one-year warranty and compatible with Mini Educator and EZ 900 series. Worth every penny, this tiny accessory transformed our entire training routine!

Works well but it appeared to rub my dog’s neck raw. I would find scabs around his neck where this was used. It's was recommended by our dog trainer. It would be nice if it gmhad rubber tips like another collar I have.

Works good but other contact points work better for 2 receiver collar set up.

Seems to work well. My client and I were testing it out. I was letting her see the difference between a good e-collar and a bad one. And her Doberman Pincher did respond to 7 and we didn't feel it until a 12. It was easy to put on the collar once I found the little tools that came with the collar.

I like that this will allow my dog to wear this collar with more comfort and safety.

Old one snapped and I needed a replacement quickly. It also stops the collar slipping. Does the job and same as the other, works out cheaper here than on the official e-collar website. Comes will all the bits needed to attach it.

Images are misleading as to what you will receive. Had to return as I own a husky and what I received was not what I expected and would not work for him.

Really helped with a longer coated dog
