Educator By E-Collar Technologies Mini 1/2 Mile Range Remote Dog Training Collar

I was hesitant to invest this much money in a collar for my dog, but let me just say it has been amazing. I had trouble setting it up—my dad read the instructions on setting it up and had no issues, so I think it was a me thing lol. It has really helped my dog be able to run and be much more active outside while being safe. It has been amazing with helping him learn good off leash habits. If you can afford to invest in this I would say go for it.

I signed my pup up for obedience class and this is the unit we’re training with. I find it complicated and the manual is written by techies. I would definitely not use without the assistance of a professional dog trainer. I’m truly amazed by the results!

I bought this for the vibration only, though it's nice to have the stim option. When used properly, very very effective in a short amount of time. In fact, after 10 minutes of repetitions, my dog was listening to new commands with no prompting at all. Now we build on that and work towards perfect recall.

I was perusing the reviews and noticed a few poor ones, and even positive using the Mini Educator on 12 week, 16 week old puppies... for those of you with negative results at 12 weeks and 16 weeks you're likely adding too much pressure too soon on your puppy. It's recommended at 6 months when they're a juvenile Pup. Try reading the directions before use, and also watch some reputable trainers who use this device so you're not torturing your puppy.

We tried a trainer before using an e collar with some results but we felt like we were tugging on our pup’s neck too much with the techniques the trainer showed us. With this e collar, my dog’s leash reactivity has become SO much more manageable and minimal. She even gets excited when we put the collar on her since she knows we’re going for a nice long walk! I highly highly recommend this product!

This product is well made but it’s use is not for me. I didn’t feel comfortable using it. This is only my opinion. I feel this type of training should be left to professionals.

I never write reviews for products. I'm writing this review for two reasons. First, this thing has completely changed our life and our dog's training trajectory. He was truly a wild dog when we got him. He is now exceptionally well trained and we feel comfortable with having him off leash in almost any setting. He comes when we call him, heels when we tell him to, sits even at a distance, etc. And we almost NEVER need to go above an 8-10 (such low shocks that I can't quite detect them on my fingers). Second, they are a really good company. After a little over a year of heavy use (swimming in rivers, wearing it all the time, etc.), the battery on the collar began to fritz out a bit.

We called (on a Saturday, mind you!) to ask what we should do and they said that they would send out a replacement battery immediately, along with the tool needed to change it. At no cost. Great product, great company, so glad to have one! … more

We have this collar for our German shepherd & it works well so we invested in another for our recent rescue. Unfortunately the prongs are not long enough to get through all the fur of our Great Pyrenees. $200 down the drain :(

Our 9mo old bernedoodle pup is 92lbs and a handful but this e collar was a true game changer for us, we use the e collar for corrections as well as a prong collar and I cannot tell you how much this has changed everyday life for us. We work with an amazing trainer that educated us on the correct ways to utilize these tools for a better life for all of us. I thought I would lose my mind before we started working with this trainer. When these tools are used correctly that make life better for all of you. This collar is more of a stimulation like a tense unit type.. our trainer had us put it on our Arm to feel it before we use it on our pup just so we knew what it felt like.
