Educator ET-400 3/4 Mile E-Collar Remote Dog Training Collar with Vibration, Tapping Sensation and Pavlovian Stimulation | 100 Levels, Safe Tapping Sensation, Night Light, Waterproof Rechargeable, 3/4 Mile Range, Finger Clicker

I don't ever write reviews for anything, but this e-collar deserves it. And I'm also doing this for bird dog owners as a guy who has used many other types of collars like Garmin, SportDog, DT Systems, etc. This is probably the most efficient and easy to use collar I've messed with, and other products can't touch the sensitivity that comes with it. I always test the stim on myself just to feel what the dog will feel, and it's true, the stim is softer and not harsh like other collars. Being able to adjust the "bump" is huge, because (specifically if you're a bird dog owner) we all know chasing and other intense distractions take a special level of jump as opposed to basic training. And if your dog is chasing, or you need to adjust the level on the go, you can raise the level of stim while holding down the continuous. So having that ability is great. Tone: Personally, I love that the collar goes to continuous after 1.2 seconds, basically removing a step of having to switch to another button so reenforcing different commands depending on the number of tones is much easier. Overall, this collar is awesome, ergonomically, functionally, everything. I'll probably sell my garmin rig and use this for my pointer. (purchased for a boykin spaniel)

This product is amazing. I LOVE this e collar! Works wonders with my service dog in training. Amazing tool. I 100% will never use another brand again

Top quality product. Everything works as described. Had no problems getting wet.

I didn’t want to resort to e collar. I did lots of research and found This to be the best for what I needed for my minpin. I’ve been using it for high distraction areas, leave it, greeting people, recall, and heal. She is very excitable when seeing peoole and dogs This is helping her. Her heal is amazing on walks now loose leash walking without this collar with her harness. I want a well mannered pup as well as allowed to be a dog and run free. I would not recommend buying this without learning how to use properly. Hire a trainer or watch the training videos so you do not harm your pup. It’s a great tool as well as many rewards, positive reinforcement and only use when general commands are mastered. It’s not to just shock your pup because it isn’t behaving. It’s for training purposes. It works great easy to use, stays charged for a long time. I like the option of vibrate or beep and the Boost. I need the boost when she is in high distraction areas with lots of people and dogs But we did six months of training before I used this. I was encouraged to use a prong collar but that wasn’t a good option for me because her neck is so tiny this was much better. Has a light as well and flashing Light for night time.

5 month update: The collar still works just fine. No problems. It has survived dips in the lake and ocean. I use the collar light more than anything else, because my pom now usually comes when called. Since my dog is only 5 lbs., I take it off and turn it off every night. The batteries last about 4-5 days between recharging when I use the light nightly. I still highly recommend this product, especially if your dog is 10 lbs. or more. If your dog is between 5-10 lbs., it will be bulky, but functional. The hot pink skins are worth getting. TIP: Paint a circle around the on/off button sensors so you can quickly match them up. Original review: There really are not many collars out there approved for little dogs, and I believe this is the best featured and highest quality one for under $200. I've had the collar for over a month and all the features the collar lists (which are a lot), it does well. I can completely adjust the "zap" for my dog's small size and temperate, which was very important to me (and my dog!). If your dog is over 10LB the collar size should not be an issue at all. If your dog is under 5LB, this collar is too big. If your pup is between these sizes, it will probably work fine, but look bulky. My Pomeranian is barely over 5 pounds and the collar works great on her after the manufacturer quickly and courteously sent me smaller electrodes. The collar's receiver unit looks big on such a tiny dog, but it is not heavy, and she never shows any discomfort wearing it, but I am sure to take it off at night. I would of preferred a smaller collar receiver unit so I could leave it on my bitty dog, but I'd then have to give up on too many functions. When I was shopping for small dog electronic collars, I found a few smaller receivers, but they had only one (maybe two) strength(s) for the zapper and their batteries were a major issue. This model's receiver might be larger (still more compact than many full-sized collars) but it also contains a high quality rechargeable battery with a waterproof charge port, on/off sensor, a power-level indicator LED and and a bright 2 LED flashlight/strobe. The transmitter has even more features. I really like the "Lady" version of this brand. The smaller size and color options are why I bought this style over the company's other ones. The interchangeable bright hot pink collar and transmitter skins are perfect for a little styling and it makes them easy to find if lost. This kit also comes with a bonus belt clip-on besides the standard lanyard. Since it has so many features, it will take a little while to remember how to operate everything, but the unit and labeled buttons are all well designed for a small to medium sized hand, and after a short time, you won't even have to look at it to operate it. Actually, if your dog is like mine, after they get zapped a few times, the button you will use the most is the light and occasionally the tap (vibrate) button. You'll be surprised how much you'll like the light if you go out at night. My pup has jumped in the lake several times for short periods and, so far, it is waterproof. My dog has always been sweet, but positive reinforcement did not work outdoors. She knew what "come" meant, but would just take-off outside to the point that even opening the door was a dangerous situation. In about a week of using the collar she went from needing "come"...tap...zap (repeat), to "come"...tap, to just "come". She loves the leash-less freedom of being able to run circles around me outside! She's now welcome to join me while doing yard work or taking out the trash or visiting with people on the front steps. I don't fear her escaping out the door. She now listens without the collar, but it is still great to use in case a deer, car or boat comes near. When she won't quit yapping at squirrels from the deck the tap usually quiets her down. She does not shun the collar, but get's excited when I pull it out, jumps on my lap and, for once, voluntarily stays perfectly still so I can get it on her. We are both much happier with this collar. Though the receiver looks a little large on my tiny dog, the functionality and quality are excellent. I think this is as good as it gets (and probably will last) until one comes out linked to a smart phone.
