Instructions
Important: To prevent the occurrence of skin irritations, the collar receiver should never be worn for more than 12 hours per day. Should your dog experience skin irritations from over exposure to the contact points, remove the collar receiver unit immediately and stop using your e-collar until all skin irritations are completely healed.
E-Collars can be used to reinforce commands your dog already knows or as a training tool when paired with leash pressure. It is not a replacement for basic leash obedience training, but a tool to allow you to better communicate with your dog.
For best results, use the least amount of stimulation required to get the attention of your dog. A calm and consistent approach to training will always produce better long term results.
It is highly recommended that aggressive dogs be taken to a professional trainer for evaluation before e-collar use.
We recommend first time users to immerse themselves in learning about the proper techniques or seek a professional e-collar trainer.
Do not allow the batteries to get hot or be fully discharged, long-term store at room temperature and 50% capacity charge.
My receiver/transmitter is not turning on. Make sure the collar receiver is fully charged. Collar receiver light should turn green when fully charged while connected to the charger.
My receiver is not responding. Check the receiver's indicator light is blinking green and transmitter LCD is on. Check to make sure the collar receiver's indicator light is red when the stimulation button is pressed. Also, try pairing/syncing the transmitter to the receiver.
The receiver doesn't seem to provide stimulation to the dog. Remove contact points from the receiver. Connect the Test Light to the receiver and test for stimulation. If the test light is blinking, receiver is providing stimulation.
Max range of device has been decreased. Check transmitter's battery condition. Working range decreases when the battery level is low.
You cannot change the stimulation level for the remote. Make sure the 1D or 2D on transmitter LCD is blinking. If 1D or 2D icons are solid, you cannot change stimulation. You can unlock the stimulation at any time by pressing the stimulation knob for 1 second.

Excellent training tool; must be used properly

Got this on the recommendation of a dog trainer for our puppy mill breeding dog rescue. She is a 11lb mini dox, so was initially concerned with the size of this being its the same thing used on all dogs. While it is a bit bulky on her small frame, she doesn't care at all. I did purchase different contact tips because of her size and short coat length which I feel has helped. This collar is meant to be a training tool to help the dog respond to commands. Its not meant to be a 'shock collar' to correct bad behavior. Read the manual before doing anything. We put it on her at least 30 mins before doing any training so when we do start the training, she doesn't associate the collar with it. The collar has worked great in a variety of training types by using the low level setting to reinforce the verbal command. Every dog is different in what their setting should be, but for ours, 10 (out of 100) is usually right. There is a slight variation from day to day which is probably due to collar placement and how tight it happens to be that day when I've put it on her. While not apples to apples, we used the collar to train for heel, but have not been for sit. She picked up heel in about 8 or 9 sessions and no longer needs the collar. Sit is taking longer than that and she still doesn't quite have it down. Our biggest concern is training her in our backyard. Its fenced, but she can slip right through due to her small size. Training her to not approach the fence unless on leash is a big one for us for her safety. Bottom line, its pricey, but has helped us train her to commands. These aren't just for our convenience, but for safety as well. Having spent the first 2 years of her life contained in a barn stall did a number on her. But after 8 weeks with us she's a completely different dog and part of the family. While this collar isn't solely responsible for that, it did help with training, and training builds confidence which helps her adjust to our family.

Okay, first off, most of these negative reviews are likely due to those people not reading the user manual at all. As someone who read the user manual, this is an effective training tool, but you MUST do you research prior to using it. Far too many owners just winging it with e-collars and that’s not safe or effective. This thing comes with a ton of awesome modes, including modes to switch dogs (for multi dog), a mode which locks the stimulation level, and a Pavlovian conditioning mode. If you are thinking of getting an e-collar, get this one and do a lot of research on how to use it. Florida based Trainer, “walkingdogtraining” on Instagram, published an e-book starter guide and also has a lot of free information and advice on how best to train with the educator mini. Please check it out.
Very disappointed and upaet
Purchased this early for my pup before large enough to feel comfortable with electric part. Only used vibrating option. Tried using the electric zap part today
Purchased this early for my pup before large enough to feel comfortable with electric part. Only used vibrating option. Tried using the electric zap part today. It doesn’t work. It turned to “4” and hasn’t done anything beyond being stuck on that number and not shocking at all. I used it on my hand and nothing. Very disappointed and upset with this product. Only positive thing? It vibrated? Wish this was something replaced, but I doubt it will be. Ughhh. It’s charged, btw.
