Educator By E-Collar Technologies Easy Educator 1/2 Mile Range Waterproof Dog Training Collar

Let me say first I am an animal lover -any and all and hate to see any animal abused. I rescued a VERY stubborn, headstrong but SMART young dog. Love him dearly and want him SAFE. Verbal commands with or without treats sort of worked but not to the point of feeling secure he'd always listen. Investigated numerous "shock" collars and could not bring myself to use any of them on him after trying them on myself. Some were absolutely horrible. Heard about this one and figured lets try it. First it's very mellow(blunt) stimulation compared to any other - I tried it on myself. In the 1st month only needed to use very low(#4) setting 2 times then only worked with tone button or vibrate button(which Let me say first I am an animal lover -any and all and hate to see any animal abused.

I've had this collar for almost 2yrs now and after the first couple of months rarely need to use any "button" other than the flashlight button for night time. I keep the collar by the back door and when he wants to go out he'll actually get the collar so it can be put on - there is NO fear of it!!! Just love your dog and use it properly!!!! … more

I love the easy educator 902. One of the first things I noticed is that I don’t have to make the collar extremely tight for it to stay in place. I previously used the pet trainer products which didn’t allow any slack otherwise it was always moving around, not making sufficient contact and I was always worried of choking my dogs. Second, the ability to program settings for a specific dog makes a huge difference. For example my male dog responds to a much lower setting than my female dog. With the easy 902 I no longer have to worry about constantly changing the level and pressing a bunch of different buttons to properly correct a specific dog.

Finally, I love that this system also offers tone and vibrate stimulation as my dogs really only need the shock when a squirrel or rabbit cross their path. My complaint: I really only have two small complaints with the easy 902: 1- I wish you could adjust the vibrate level 2- I wish the light on the collar was positioned differently. My male dog is a lab so it is difficult to see the “night light” due to his fur covering the light. My recommendation would be to have the light positioned near the top of the collar rather than on the side. My complaints are really me just nit-picking but why not make a great product even better? … more

I got this version because a friend had the same one. I did add the contact points for long thick hair, I have a tervuren. He wore it for awhile without it being turned on, and has learned to come when called <G> when the neighbor dog is out. It's not your gramma's 'shock collar' more like a tens unit and yes, I tried it on myself first. Could add another collar unit to this one, if you need it for two dogs. Easy to use, quick charge, super product for my needs.

If you have multiple dogs I could see it being beneficial but I would rather have color coded remotes vs trying to remember what dog is on what button combo, 3 stars because the brand always holds strong in quality !

At the cost I thought it would made better, there are cheaper collars that work just as well available.

For a product that costs nearly 200.00 the dial slips and drops off. Not worth the money and if I were considering this product I would look elsewhere.

This training collar works really good. We have only used the sound and vibration controls and our Westie comes right to where I want her as soon as I press the control. The light on the collar is really great to use at night now that we have snow on the ground. This is an easy and awesome tool to use for training.

I have a yellow lab that wouldn't hurt a fly but couldn't control when excited & would run off when he had a chance. The E'collar worked for him in less than a week!! I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it for myself!! It does as it says & more :-) I highly recommend it!!

This is not a substitute to training the dog but if used as a tool can be very effective. I have been able to teach him certain commands with just a bump and follow through latter without the colar has shown a very positive effect. Thanks Michael

I own three of these. I have different color collars for each dog. I have belt clip for remotes, same color as collar. Easy to tell apart. This one fits perfectly in my arthritic hand. Best part is things are replaceable! Case covers of broke, collars. Everything. Such a great company.
