I have a dog with a very fluffy dog, a chow, will this be suitable? I'm wondering if the vibrations will be felt through all his fluff.

Answer by MelanieAug 24, 2025
I purchased the Winged Soft Comfort Pad Short Points for Long Hair dogs for our lab who has a thick, long coat at the recommendation of our trainer. It’s an additional cost, but there has been no issues with contact using the mini-educator.

What is the average battery life on the Mini Educator?

Answer by ChewyMay 02, 2018
The time between charges can really differ and it depends on how much time the transmitter and receiver spend powered on during the day. If you use the system for about 8 hours a day and power it off after that then you should be able to get 24-36 hours between charges. On the opposite end, some people just use their system when their dog is outside and power it off inside. That kind of usage can keep one charge going for weeks.

Is it safe for the dog to swim while wearing the transmitter and for it to work safetly after?

Answer by ChewyJun 27, 2020
The product is completely waterproof and safe to use in the water.

With the two dog system can I control the dogs separately or is it one push of the button for both collars?

Answer by ChewyMar 28, 2018
For the 2 dog system, both can be controlled from the 1 remote. You'll be able to switch between the 2 dogs.

Repeat Cane Corso Customer!

The E-Collar allows me to feel confident about correcting my 4 YO, 130# Cane Corso from afar. Bubba is a well-trained and obedient boy. We moved to a new home 3

The E-Collar allows me to feel confident about correcting my 4 YO, 130# Cane Corso from afar. Bubba is a well-trained and obedient boy. We moved to a new home 3 years ago, only a couple of months after adopting him at 1 YO from a man who sparingly used his E-Collar, and my request for a divorce. In the past, I have had a Bull Mastiff-Black Lab mix and a full-bred Neapolitan Mastiff (170#) amongst other sizes and breeds of dogs (Black Lab-Springer Spaniel and Shih-tzu), but Bubba is the most well-trained and attached out of all of them. Would he welcome strangers in the house? Yes, he has, with my permission. Would he defend me if the moment arose? YES. I have NO doubt. Our E-collar has strengthened our bond. The tone alone gets his attention; I do not need to use the vibration setting. I recently had to replace my first E-Collar from when I adopted him. I did my research, found cheaper options but lower reviews. Ultimately, despite my tight budget, I opted to purchase the E-Collar because it works and we are both confident in it. We are both secure in our relationship. I hope this endorsement helps someone.

Customer service is horrible

First, let me say buy this from Chewy not directly from the website. I had to order a replacement part for mine so I got it directly from the website almost 2 months later after emailing a calling. I finally speak with someone and they said it was Lost from the post office not them. They refused to make good on it and was actually really nasty to me on the phone about it Said it wasn’t their fault deliveries come from the post office not from E collar trucks so definitely don’t buy from them. Chewy would make it right if you didn’t get it this company will not. The second part of the review is for the actual collar. It works very well. But it also can become disconnected or the battery can run out and you will not know. While walking a disconnect between the collar and the remote happened to me. My dog is very friendly with people does not get along with other animals. When we encountered another dog, I relied on the collar to stop him. It did not. It had disconnected. He’s an 85 pound Doberman had a very difficult time pulling him away from that situation. So don’t count on this collar as being full proof things happen. I would’ve never left a review. Had it not been for the terrible disgusting man on their customer service. I never leave reviews. It was so bad. It made me want to leave a review on every website. I can warning you to get it not from the manufacturer if you want your package to arrive

Our trainer had us purchase this and throw away our previous e-collar which had beep, vibration and shock functions. This e-collar uses stim instead of shock which we really prefer. It has been a lifesaver with our training journey! He responded really well to it even on an extremely low setting

Very Effective

I use it for our 2 dogs and it has been very helpful for training. I recommend you try it on yourself so you know what it feels like before you put it on your dog. Also start low and test it to find the right frequency for each dog. Always hold and lock it so you don't accidently shock them to high.

First one had a good run and the rebuilt/battery replacement seemed outside of my scope. I prefer over Sportdog and Dotra (spelling?) collars. My dog and I have been trained on collar use.

Ease of learning the options & functionality of the training collar

It matches the training collar our trainer uses, so the transition from trainer to owner was easy. Consistency is key in training our pets.

We adopted our GSD at 4 months so he was a little behind in training. We mastered several commands before getting a collar, a little over 6 months old. We know that the collar is best used to reinforce those commands. It’s worked wonders. And we continue to master all commands.

NOT HAPPY

Not real happy with it for the price. No instructions. Had to go on You Tube to find a video. I still don't have it working correctly. Not happy.

Contrary to popular belief this collar will not shock your dog. It feels like a tens machine and will stimulate the muscles on your dog's neck. It's meant to be a tap on your dog's shoulder to get his attention. Research the videos and read the books about how to use it. Larry Krohn has excellent videos and books on e collar training. Don't buy the cheap knock off versions. This is the original and the real deal.
