1/2 Mile Range Small Dog Models with E-Collar 101 Training DVD

Mini Educator IMO is the BEST ECollar on the market! If you want to give your dog the maximum amount of freedom they deserve, this tool with the correct introduction through training can give you and your furry companion just that! Big Big Fan of Educator products! I gifted this unit to my brother who has 2 chocolate labs. This being the 2-dog unit came in handy for Ecollar training with both dogs. You can control 2 receiver collars from afar with 1 remote, comes pre paired as 2-dog unit. Now both labs are Ecollar trained with fantastic recall. And even during those times of high stimulation when that squirl runs by and the dogs decide to be a little pushier on response time, you can always correct from afar to regain their attention to follow through the expectation of the command that was given. It's all about the follow through! Stim or Vibration. I personally use Vibration setting For Recall. An stim/boost control to direct or correct a command. 1-99 in levels, can do some serious fine tuning to give your dog the best experience with Mini Educator Ecollars!!!!

Watch the videos (there are lots of them out there), be frugal but consistent in its use, & importantly, prioritize your targeted commands & keep your verbals to one consistent word or very short phrase. We are not professional (or even competent) animal trainers, but we love our puppy passionately & desperately want him to be a happy, social, & well behaved fellow.Our #1 targeted behavior was destructive: emptying the trash can all over the kitchen, chewing furniture & shoes, and attacking he cat. He soon learned the firm 'no', & we were able to add 'off'. Since he is as tall as I am, leaving food or fun looking stuff on the counter tops, dressers, etc seemed to be an open invitation for him. Jumping up on us as well as our guests also fell into this category. By this time, he had the idea, & that behavior was also quickly modified. We've used the Education a month or 6 weeks, & we now seldom actually have to press the button because he has learned the verbal cues. New cue words for new changes have been added without having to actually use the e-collar.But we keep it on him because he's still a puppy, & we want him to be safe.We're still a work in progress, but the change in our little(NOT) dogs behavior is amazing. We've never had to had to use it often, & we are now spend most of our days play/teaching him & rewarding appropriate ways to be a cherished family member.

Started using the e-collar and watching accompanying video less than 2months ago. Just follow the directions it works! My 2yo lab mix had her basic commands down but did not do well coming back when off leash or healing on walks (always pulling). After a few scares where she ran off for a long time, I decided to try the e-collar. She responded to it very quickly and within about 3 weeks she got it. Now she will heal off leash and after her making sit and giving her the command “release” she is off to explore. She doesn’t venture too far and consistently comes when I call her. I need to add in the signal maybe 50% of the time mostly to get her attention. My only complaint is that it can be a challenge to get the contact points to contact her skin. What I have found is that I need to rake her fur backwards with the collar on to dig through her fur.

Set up can be a little challenging and making a change between tone and vibrate requires pressing two buttons at the exact right moment. Wish they had a tone, vibrate, and stim button. Also would like for the tone and the single pulse stim button to be different colors (they are both black). The controller is a little larger than I like. Everything else about the collar is really nice. Love the adjustment, lock feature, and the range.

Worth every penny, we can walk with our dog off leash now. Took about a month for my dog to adjust to the new command, but the TONE/sound feature I now use instead of yelling “come” or otherwise to get her attention. It’s amazing. I barely ever have to use the shock/vibration because she knows if she comes when she hears the tone/sound she won’t be shocked. It also allows you to set the shock/vibration really low, you can use it more as a way of communicating/reminding with your dog instead of hurting them. I bought a backpack for my dog to wear that stores her leash if I ever come upon another person or dog on the trail, only to make that person more comfortable (this collar makes recall/come command easy!)

Works great when it works. But the connection from the charger isn’t reliable and even though it’s plugged in, it doesn’t charge except on very rare occasions.

Only used once. It made my dog scared and he took off running! I looked for an hour before I finally found him and he was scared to death!I used it correctly, watched the DVD, and had it on a low setting.I would not use it on him again after that. I felt so horrible for even trying something like this on him. We went through training classes instead and he is far better for it.

Great collar! This is our second one and trust the product and company
