I bought the model of this E-collar that controls two dogs. It came with two collars. I find it very difficult to use. I refer to the manual often and have called their help line twice. Be prepared to wait a long time before getting help from the help line. The functions do not operate as the manual states they will. I wish I bought something more straightforward.

We have a hyper-active labrador that responds really well to training collars. Prior to our most recent purchase we had our previous mini educator for almost 6 years. While we did have to replace the batteries a few times, it was due to normal wear and tear. The "old" collar would last us 3 or 4 days before having to be recharged. We're lucky if this new one lasts us two days. For the cost of this I am pretty disappointed. It doesn't seem to hold up to the quality of their previous versions.

IT DOES NOT HAVE A 1/2 MILE RANGE!!! I have done everything possible to get this this to work properly and it consistently looses connectivity to the controller on top of that, when it does work the Shock portion of this, goes from mild to OMG in the blink of an eye, traumatizing my pup. I do not recommend this.

I bought these for my 2 dogs, the vibrate option gets their attention quickly and safely when they get into troublesome situations

ran way too hot, I do not recommend this product and i am very disappointed

This collar works well and is very durable (The remote survived being accidentally dunked into a jacuzzi!) The light is brilliant for night walks, so people and cars can see your small pup near the ground (If you put the collar on your dog light down, it doesn't flash into their eyes & it provides a better guide for them to see what's right in front of them/what they're sniffing at) You can put the collar on loosely and the metal prongs still touch your dog without uncomfortably poking into them. I alternate between the vibrate and beeping settings - they're both enough to get their attention for training (The vibration is the same as a cell phone vibration, harmless but effective).

When used properly, it's phenomenal. I would definitely get expert advice before using it with your dog! The Trainer recommended I use this along with Onyx's training. It works so well. I used it outside with her in the snow. She rolled around a bit with it on, got some snow in between the collar and her neck. Brushed it off before using it again, and it still works wonderfully.

Great quality and perfect for dogs who struggle with listening!!

The ecollar made a difference in just 2 days. My dog is 2 1/2 and has always been very high-strung. She knows commands and listens to them but whenever people comeover or we are on a walk and she sees people/dogs she cannot contain her squealing/whining and had 0 duration with her commands. She also was a terrible walker & puller and the prong alone could not fix it. Just after 2 days the ecollar helped so much in communicating with her. She now heels and loose leash walks. And after 2 weeks use she’s already so much better.

So I wanted an e collar for my dog and this one constantly was on people's list so I purchased it. I did hesitate for a little bit as people said it was confusing to use at first. When I got it, I just watched a few videos and it was super easy to set up! The "shock" I started with 10 on my arm and wowza, that was enough for me to wake up! With my dog, I don't think he'll need much of the "shock" he responds to the vibration well. I hope this holds up for years to come!
