The paper instructions on this collar are impossible. The "average" person would say "screw it, I don't think I get it, but I'm using it anyway". I asked the company to do a better job on the manual. This video makes it SO clear, thank you! Now I'm ready to get working on it with my dog.
Maker should pay this guy for doing a video. The instructions do nothing. They are lucky. I bought 2 different collars. I was going to return this but because of this video I kept it. Thank you.
Yes I agree, your setup tutorial is EXCELLENT!!!! I just bought one and am really excited. I do wish it came with the wings that my GSD needs. For the $200 price tag, it should come with it! Anybody know what the warranty is?
We’ve had this for a little over 2.5 years with our 3 y.o. female German shepherd and we get so many compliments on how well she is trained. We always recommend this e-collar! Not sure why people are still so afraid of these. Only explanation could be is they are misinformed and/or have irrational fears of this tool. Works well at the beach and typically in any setting. We use the vibrate and stimulant. The noise doesn’t work on her well enough to use that yet so we refrained from continuing to train with the beep. Try it on yourself before using it on your dog but use at your own risk! 😌
It took me a while to really wanna use this but now I use it everyday on walks for training and my dog’s walk has improve big time. He loose leash walk pretty good now unless there are distractions. And the more I use it now the more confident I get.
Same took me at least 3 year it sat in box brand new ... After back problems and watching haz over and over I'm walking 1 on loose lead and total recall in park I'm not attached to 2 dogs only 1 and the other is watching and learning till I either get another or I take out separate or buy and learn the 2 dog one 😊 I'm so elated 😊
I just bought this collar. We introduced it to my German Shepherd girl today. Wow her command follow through is so much smoother! It’s immediate now! She’s 7 months and in that stage where she tests me lol. She doesn’t do that now. There is clear communication with the ecollar and my command
Just recently started training my dog in a legit way- being consistent with him and over the last couple months he definetally has adapted- today i took him off leash completely for the first time- and he passed- for the first month or so i trained him off basic corrections- prong colar after he started to get the concept of not pulling- the e collar is just a extension of your commands- the first day i got my e colar i let him go and sure enough he ran on me- i put it on a boost of 20 and i stimulated him hahah he def learned after that not to run away- the main focus i would say is consistency
Loved it. Your succinct explanation, delivery, and point-by-point tips were outstanding. I particularly liked your tips about applying the collar (NOBODY points that out) and the tip on NOT to put on the collar or take it as you take him out. Heya, you mentioned, "only use for deaf dogs". Can you point me to any videos you may have on training a deaf dog? Billy Jr. has lost his hearing in one ear and although we have achieved obedience levels to "open" (heal-off-leash, drop on recall, distance control, scent discrimination, etc.) we are no longer going to our original trainer as he mentions we should not as Billy has lost some of his hearing.
Do you know how many times I've watched this video before useing the ecollar finally used it 2years after purchase used it after a few hours training on my dog and wow it worked my dog is finally running free around the park with no fear she gonna run off to far away i even managed to stop her from running up to other dogs like she was prior, Sadly with total crap recall ltough I kept training over and over she near 2 now and it just got stupid I would only go to enclosed areas but she would not listen at all but hay the ecollar and with Haz and his education trained me (im slow) for 3 years, And I had to recap on this video yesturday in the Park I couldn't change it from M settings I had to sit on the bench watch this video to remind me when it was stuck on 7, thank you so much now I'm going to start on my really reactive dog that I actually purchased it for originally I can't wait I know it's going to be more difficult she is very slower (like me) in her head and stubborn but I just want them to have freedom and not take off at any chance, And yup it has resulted in ecollar these are the hardest breed to train and training is a must no if nor buts, Prior to today I was always worried about ecollar being seen in public by anti ecollar people hence why I've had it for so long in a box but now I don't give 2 fuugs about it with the rise of dog attacks via xl bullies Cross pitts Cross American bulldogs Cross mastive type breeds killing people and children in the uk its disgusting so no one can say my dogs are being ill treated via a ecollar I'm thankfull for it my dog has total recall and so will the other ... I walk with them proudly and stop off at Costa coffee to drink in feild while they running around free . I really need to buy the 2 dog ecollar mini educator I so hope it won't take me 2-3 years to teach myself to use it lol thanks again haz and all at SheildK9 your the best 😊
FIRST time after watching MANY different e collar video that which SIDE and WHY you put it there. THANK you so much for clearing that up, I just starting with a very "pliable", to use a term you used in another video, Border Collie/Aussie mix. With this pliable, sensitive but easily trainable dog, I had started with the e collar in between me and the dog. What a LOVELY change when I listen to your advice! I've been learning a ton even though I'm training a trail dog and running companion in and out of the woods, and not a big working dog like your business, your explanations make sense to me and my training. Thank you
Have had my 11 month old German Shepherd in a 3 week board and train and they are training him to this collar. I get him back tomorrow and they sent me several videos to watch before I go for the owners training...super excited to see my boy again and give him the freedom off leash that this collar will provide! Such a good video; this was the first one I've seen on placement of the receiver on the dogs neck! I'd never thought of that, but it makes sense!
Great video. Good explanation on the location to put it on your dog. I always had it next to me cause I thought it was like feeling the leash pop on my side. But I guess it makes sense on the opposite side if it makes the dog draw away from you.
A great refresh. Working on assimilating a 1+ yo lab/shepherd mix rescue with the 4+yo husky/shepherd mix rescue who has been trained the mini-educator. Clear and concise even with that cold sounding wind! What’s the plastic flat disc for - marketing purposes or does it have an actual use?
Vibrate is the only function I use on my collar, that and the light. I initially started using the continuous and got it to a point now where we can only use the vibrate function
Good video with some bad advice here. Instruction manual cautions NEVER to let the battery fully discharge. Doing so can cause permanent damage. Manual also says to fully charge both devices before using.
Thank you so much for this video! I just found out my puppy is deaf and I’m looking for an e-collar and so far this is the one tht keeps coming up. Watched your video and you explained everything rly well, and mentioned that you use this on deaf dogs so I think I will be purchasing this. I wanted to ask if you’re located in ON, Canada. Looking for a trainer that has experience with training deaf dogs with e-collar. Update: just did more research on your company and found out you’re very close to me. Definitely will be going to your program!
I have an E OGSD, and im looking to incorporate the use of e collar as part of his training. Im not sure if i should go with "the Boss" over the Mini due to him being a LH who also is becoming a bit reactive toward other dogs. He is still a pup at almost 5 months old and 60# , but im looking for long term as he starts getting older and larger. YES hopefully with continued training ill only need for slight corrections but lets not fool ourselves with a large working line dog, and "When..not IF " i wanna be able to have the confidence in the reliability of the product that im selecting.. TIA
My Dalmatian went to 2 week training and this collar was used, I had training as well. One year later he is doing quite well but he sees that collar and tries to wrestle me to keep me from putting it on. Now he doesn’t bother bc he won’t get his breakfast until it is on. I have NEVER had to use a level higher than 18. Never use on a wet dog or let them sleep in it.
Great explanation, very concise and professional. Unfortunately from what I could see this is not an anti bark collar, so you have to manually push a button to send the stimulus to the dog right? I need something like the ET-300 to train my dog when we walk but also anti-bark, since every time i leave the house he starts barking A LOT and I generally leave very early in the morning and live in a small condo. Does anyone know any product to recommend me?
About it being too tight and choking noise from dog. It would, and does cut off blood flow although I suppose no choice? Also the collar is NOT to be worn all the time. Good advice on moving it.
Any warranty on these? Ours is just about a year old I think ( could be wrong ) it is stuck on one setting. No blame just wondering how to get it fixed.
OK I am very frustrated here. I understand the concept of it having to be tight, however, I have seen other models of collars that have a slide up for the collar so it isn't so tight. Consequently how do those models compare? I really hate having to make the collar so tight just to make sure it connects to the skin. Someone please give me some input. Thank you very much.
Thanks for the video. Question for the community. I just got this ecollar for my Aussie/malamute/husky mix who has really thick fur. I have the longer 3/4” contact points on and made sure the collar is on tight. It seems she doesn’t really recognize the shock stimulation until it’s about at 32. I’ve read a few places that 6 is average. Is it normal for her not to register anything until the 30 range? Wondering if anyone with a thick coated dog could weigh in. Thanks. 🙏🏼
My trainer told me to shave a little spot on the dogs neck where you will put the contact points and even then I sift through my dogs hairs to make sure there is skin contact and then it works perfectly. I’ve figured my dog is sensitive to the collar so about a 4-6 works. Hope I could help
If you turn the remote off, does the collar turn off as well? Or will the collar stay on and I can turn off the remote and turn it back on as needed and it'll still be connected?
Question : My dog barks on walks, at buses, cars, noises, anything! He knows the command “quiet” as he stops barking at home but not on walks, would this collar help with this since he does know the command? I just want walks to be fun and peaceful for both of us, he’s almost 8 months old
I just finished watching this video and learned so much already! I just ordered an ecollar for my reactive/aggressive 9 month old American Akita. He’s attacked people and dogs on multiple occasions and it’s getting out of hand. He also has a lot of energy/high drive and sometimes a bit too much for me. But I’m willing to put in the work in order for him to become a better dog and even myself become a better owner Thank you very much for these videos!
I would check with a trainer before using an ecollar. It is my understanding they are NOT recommended in aggressive dogs and can actually make behaviors worse 😞. Just wanted to give you a heads up. Good luck 👍🏻
How do you use it to help with dog aggression? I just ordered one and am still kind of lost on how exactly to use it. I understand how to use it for recall and such but im wondering how to use it for aggression and reactivity. Thanks!
@@OliveB69 i would recommend a prong collar first and foremost ... but if you insist on the e-collar i would just give the dog a stim once it pulls you on the leash.
Ok here's something I just experienced. The collar was inconsistent during a session. No matter what setting I used it didn't faze him. I have used this collar and know which settings work so I found this irregular. I took off the collar, and confirmed it was working. After several more attempts I gave up and was going to switch to my prong. Here's the weird part. I could barely touch my dogs neck as I would shocked to no end. His coat was electrified. No matter where I touched his neck, I would get a current of electricity. The collar charged him but I'm wondering why? Any help appreciated.
Can anyone help me. Looking to add an e collar to our dogs training. On the leash they are great but when distracted by other dogs or people they're hit or miss on recall. My question is about what size collar we need. I'm inclined to go for the 802 version with more potential power if needed but they're only a 31lb corgi and a 22lb dachshund. Its so much money i don't want to buy the mini and it not have the power to get their attention in the worst case scenario
Well done brother!!!!!! I just rescued Louis- Long hair Eastern European German Shepherd- amazing dog with people - but loses it when he sees another dog. My question is which educator will be the best for him? The Educator ET-300 Mini or Educator ET-800 The Boss? Sincerely, Allen
Do not use e collor, when you have other dogs isssues. If you use Electric Shock, your dog could Connect the pain or irritation of the e collor with other dogs, whitch makes your problem even worse.
@@1packatak Well it is very true, it could have the oppesit effect. Timing is very important when you use e-collar for correction. The is a reason, why most european country’s have banned the e-collar.
Just got this and tested it to see how the different strength settings felt to know what my dog would feel. Couldn’t feel anything at all coming from the collar as I turned it up higher and higher. So I finally put it all the way to hi and that shit shocked me so hard I threw the fu€&er across the room!! 😭
I’ve been using my mini educator for 3 months now and love it! I usually don’t need to use a stim any more, my dog is so well behaved. 100% recall on walks when running in the woods. BUT when she is not wearing collar she totally takes advantage of not having collar on and acts like an untrained puppy. So what should I do now?
You should work with and without sometimes work with him or her on everything aing with no e-coller.anf then some days to with the e- collet because you don't what to retrain that either.just do everything aing.with out the e-coller
They make a dummy collar that looks and feels like the e-collar but is fake and doesn't do anything. Not sure if this helps at all, but I thought it was worth mentioning!
Keep the collar on your dog at all times during the day. Make sure to move it around but keep it. After a year your dog will be conditioned to listening to you even without it. It becomes second nature
start with the lightest and go higher until you can see a slight reaction by the dog, u have to pay attention to his body language there, we want to use the lowest setting possible
Grrat video. I found your videos few days agp been watching and learning alot.. I am planning on getting a e-collar whars the difference between this et30 and dogtra 1900s? Do they woek the same just one is more costly.
Why is it called mini, it’s the same size as the rest. A small training device❓❓I’ve seen lots of collar wise dogs. I was taught a very long time ago that they should wear the collar 2 weeks before it’s ever used. I never thought about what you just said. Good to know
I have a serious question. When I use this, everytime i try to put this collar on my dog, he knows its bad, and tries to kill me. He associates this collar with bad things, so i can not take it off og him or else i cant ever put it back on without a fight.
I start out by having my dog wear it only when we go out to play and have fun for a couple of weeks before introducing the stim. During that time I don't even carry the transmitter, I continue using leash corrections and verbal cues/commands so everything seems like business as usual. I think all dogs get collar wise eventually, but if you do things right it's not an issue. If all you do is slap it on and start pushing buttons in disciplinary drills, of course they're going to hate it :)

The paper instructions on this collar are impossible. The "average" person would say "screw it, I don't think I get it, but I'm using it anyway". I asked the company to do a better job on the manual. This video makes it SO clear, thank you! Now I'm ready to get working on it with my dog.
Agreed. The instructions on how to use the buttons is impossible.
The Instructions are terrible thank you for this video!
Just got mine and I couldn’t understand the instructions so I came to RUclips haha
Maybe the point is you shouldn’t try to figure it out and you need to be trained. This guy is cool because he put the training out for free. Thank you
Yeah the first thing I thought of was the scene in Beetlejuice when Alec Baldwin is try to read “Handbook for the Recently Deceased”.
Maker should pay this guy for doing a video. The instructions do nothing. They are lucky. I bought 2 different collars. I was going to return this but because of this video I kept it. Thank you.
This tutorial saved me a mental breakdown from getting stuck halfway through the manual lol
me too
You should set up an Amazon affiliate link account. Your cut of my e-collar purchase would be around $5,
Amazon is evil.
Thank you so much.. Just bought the mini educator. Your tutorial on setup is the best I've seen.
Is it worth?
@@apexonpaddles6532 100%
how much did you bought it or? can you remember? in my are it is around 200$
same. very helpful.
Yes I agree, your setup tutorial is EXCELLENT!!!! I just bought one and am really excited. I do wish it came with the wings that my GSD needs. For the $200 price tag, it should come with it! Anybody know what the warranty is?
We’ve had this for a little over 2.5 years with our 3 y.o. female German shepherd and we get so many compliments on how well she is trained. We always recommend this e-collar! Not sure why people are still so afraid of these. Only explanation could be is they are misinformed and/or have irrational fears of this tool. Works well at the beach and typically in any setting. We use the vibrate and stimulant. The noise doesn’t work on her well enough to use that yet so we refrained from continuing to train with the beep.
Try it on yourself before using it on your dog but use at your own risk! 😌
I’ve had this collar for a month now but I’ve been to intimidated to use it. But this video is so helpful and easy to understand! Thank you!! 🙏🏽
It took me a while to really wanna use this but now I use it everyday on walks for training and my dog’s walk has improve big time. He loose leash walk pretty good now unless there are distractions. And the more I use it now the more confident I get.
Same took me at least 3 year it sat in box brand new ...
After back problems and watching haz over and over I'm walking 1 on loose lead and total recall in park I'm not attached to 2 dogs only 1 and the other is watching and learning till I either get another or I take out separate or buy and learn the 2 dog one 😊
I'm so elated 😊
I felt the same way so I practiced on my wife for a few months . She’s behaving better
I just bought this collar. We introduced it to my German Shepherd girl today. Wow her command follow through is so much smoother! It’s immediate now! She’s 7 months and in that stage where she tests me lol. She doesn’t do that now. There is clear communication with the ecollar and my command
Just recently started training my dog in a legit way- being consistent with him and over the last couple months he definetally has adapted- today i took him off leash completely for the first time- and he passed- for the first month or so i trained him off basic corrections- prong colar after he started to get the concept of not pulling- the e collar is just a extension of your commands- the first day i got my e colar i let him go and sure enough he ran on me- i put it on a boost of 20 and i stimulated him hahah he def learned after that not to run away- the main focus i would say is consistency
Loved it. Your succinct explanation, delivery, and point-by-point tips were outstanding. I particularly liked your tips about applying the collar (NOBODY points that out) and the tip on NOT to put on the collar or take it as you take him out. Heya, you mentioned, "only use for deaf dogs". Can you point me to any videos you may have on training a deaf dog? Billy Jr. has lost his hearing in one ear and although we have achieved obedience levels to "open" (heal-off-leash, drop on recall, distance control, scent discrimination, etc.) we are no longer going to our original trainer as he mentions we should not as Billy has lost some of his hearing.

Sadly with total crap recall ltough I kept training over and over she near 2 now and it just got stupid I would only go to enclosed areas but she would not listen at all but hay the ecollar and with Haz and his education trained me (im slow) for 3 years,
And I had to recap on this video yesturday in the Park I couldn't change it from M settings I had to sit on the bench watch this video to remind me when it was stuck on 7, thank you so much now I'm going to start on my really reactive dog that I actually purchased it for originally I can't wait I know it's going to be more difficult she is very slower (like me) in her head and stubborn but I just want them to have freedom and not take off at any chance,
And yup it has resulted in ecollar these are the hardest breed to train and training is a must no if nor buts,
Prior to today I was always worried about ecollar being seen in public by anti ecollar people hence why I've had it for so long in a box but now I don't give 2 fuugs about it with the rise of dog attacks via xl bullies Cross pitts Cross American bulldogs Cross mastive type breeds killing people and children in the uk its disgusting so no one can say my dogs are being ill treated via a ecollar I'm thankfull for it my dog has total recall and so will the other ... I walk with them proudly and stop off at Costa coffee to drink in feild while they running around free .
I really need to buy the 2 dog ecollar mini educator I so hope it won't take me 2-3 years to teach myself to use it lol thanks again haz and all at SheildK9 your the best 😊

How did he do ?
Don't worry we can cover both tsunamis into one 😭
How did he do?
Exactly what I needed. Our dog trainer went over this when we got our dog back from training but I missed a lot about the functions of the collar
Thank you for such a clear explanation for how to set up an collar and understand the function of the various buttons.
Really helpful, clear and professional. Thank you kindly.
Thank you great tutorial I just got my collar

Even though my dog is e-collar training, I love watching these videos. I always learn something new.
Phenomenal tutorial! Appreciate it
Thank you, very good video.
Clear and relatable.
Great information. Now I have to get one .
Most excellent beginning video. Than you.
Thank you! 1 thing that was new to me
OMG - My GSD/Mal mix looks just like Arco! ❤
Vibrate is the only function I use on my collar, that and the light. I initially started using the continuous and got it to a point now where we can only use the vibrate function

Good explanation!
Very good tutorial
I like your videos concise and informative. Where are you located?
thank you so much the company did a horrible job explaining this the should be paying you for this video
excellent. You educational videos are the best. At what age should you begin to use the e collar for a German shepherd?
when they know the commands its for renforcement
Great video, I hate to say it, but my dogs really did eat the instructions.
great info

I believe the same company makes a collar that responds automatically to the dog barking. You can set it to how many barks before the stimulation!
Are the half inch okay for small lurcher/whippet type dogs? They just seem like they would be a bit long.
About it being too tight and choking noise from dog.
It would, and does cut off blood flow although I suppose no choice?
Also the collar is NOT to be worn all the time. Good advice on moving it.
I have a husky but she's just a puppy. Should I wait on using the longer prongs?
This or the dogtra Arc?? I like the light option on this but love the slim fit of the arc
WOW!!
THANK YOU!!!🙂😁♥️👍
Any warranty on these? Ours is just about a year old I think ( could be wrong ) it is stuck on one setting. No blame just wondering how to get it fixed.
If your dog has a chip will this collar cause problems? Just started training with her. Black mouth cur 11 months old.
I have 2 labs 1 more stubborn then the other. Do you recommend 2 sets or 1 set for 2 dogs?
Are both prongs supposed to give out electric stimulation I have ordered 2 on Amazon because it only gives out electric to 1 prong
OK I am very frustrated here. I understand the concept of it having to be tight, however, I have seen other models of collars that have a slide up for the collar so it isn't so tight. Consequently how do those models compare? I really hate having to make the collar so tight just to make sure it connects to the skin. Someone please give me some input. Thank you very much.

I would check with a trainer before using an ecollar. It is my understanding they are NOT recommended in aggressive dogs and can actually make behaviors worse 😞. Just wanted to give you a heads up. Good luck 👍🏻
@@karimongeonwahlen1765 I’ve been using it and so far so good! He’s less reactive now and is more obedient
@@southernmuttsco6903 I’m so glad!!!!
How do you use it to help with dog aggression? I just ordered one and am still kind of lost on how exactly to use it. I understand how to use it for recall and such but im wondering how to use it for aggression and reactivity. Thanks!
@@OliveB69 i would recommend a prong collar first and foremost ... but if you insist on the e-collar i would just give the dog a stim once it pulls you on the leash.
Can it be charged in a car? Like is there a 12volt charger option?
Ok here's something I just experienced. The collar was inconsistent during a session. No matter what setting I used it didn't faze him. I have used this collar and know which settings work so I found this irregular. I took off the collar, and confirmed it was working. After several more attempts I gave up and was going to switch to my prong. Here's the weird part. I could barely touch my dogs neck as I would shocked to no end. His coat was electrified. No matter where I touched his neck, I would get a current of electricity. The collar charged him but I'm wondering why? Any help appreciated.

My e collar no longer shocks. It only vibrates now.. What trouble shooting methods do you have?
Can anyone help me. Looking to add an e collar to our dogs training. On the leash they are great but when distracted by other dogs or people they're hit or miss on recall. My question is about what size collar we need. I'm inclined to go for the 802 version with more potential power if needed but they're only a 31lb corgi and a 22lb dachshund. Its so much money i don't want to buy the mini and it not have the power to get their attention in the worst case scenario
How do I add another dog and do I have to buy another charger ?
Sorry for the super late serious question, when is a good time to introduce a E collar training to puppy?
Thanks for your time and knowledge !!!

Usually once your dog understands all the commands well. You can’t teach a command with the collar. It’s used for corrections.
@@gkk353 not entirely true.
@@adamtraore6921 explain it to me, how can you teach a heel command when the dog doesn’t know it with a collar ?
@@gkk353 look up dobbstraining to explanation on heel
Can I use this on my wife? She tends to stray.
Yes, absolutely, also make sure she has all her shots and get her spayed just to be safe!
Can I purchase the micro to add to this mii for a 2nd much tinier dog?
Well done brother!!!!!! I just rescued Louis- Long hair Eastern European German Shepherd- amazing dog with people - but loses it when he sees another dog. My question is which educator will be the best for him? The Educator ET-300 Mini or Educator ET-800 The Boss?
Sincerely,

Do not use e collor, when you have other dogs isssues. If you use Electric Shock, your dog could Connect the pain or irritation of the e collor with other dogs, whitch makes your problem even worse.
@@jonaskristensen3066 not true. I used it for that purpose (among others) and it had no such effect on my dogs.
@@1packatak Well it is very true, it could have the oppesit effect. Timing is very important when you use e-collar for correction. The is a reason, why most european country’s have banned the e-collar.
Just got this and tested it to see how the different strength settings felt to know what my dog would feel. Couldn’t feel anything at all coming from the collar as I turned it up higher and higher. So I finally put it all the way to hi and that shit shocked me so hard I threw the fu€&er across the room!! 😭
I’ve been using my mini educator for 3 months now and love it! I usually don’t need to use a stim any more, my dog is so well behaved. 100% recall on walks when running in the woods. BUT when she is not wearing collar she totally takes advantage of not having collar on and acts like an untrained puppy. So what should I do now?
You should work with and without sometimes work with him or her on everything aing with no e-coller.anf then some days to with the e- collet because you don't what to retrain that either.just do everything aing.with out the e-coller
They make a dummy collar that looks and feels like the e-collar but is fake and doesn't do anything. Not sure if this helps at all, but I thought it was worth mentioning!
that means you took the e-collar off too early
@@thouartstrong9507 Yes. Also people forget. Training generally lasts 1 1/2 years over all.
Keep the collar on your dog at all times during the day. Make sure to move it around but keep it. After a year your dog will be conditioned to listening to you even without it. It becomes second nature
Have you used other brands of e-collar? Do you have an opinion on SportDog collar systems as opposed to the Educator?
What number setting do you recommend starting with? I have a GS also.
start with the lightest and go higher until you can see a slight reaction by the dog, u have to pay attention to his body language there, we want to use the lowest setting possible
It explains in the instructions how to find the "starting" / lowest stimulation for your dog. It's different for every dog.
Hello, how do I turn off the illumination on the remote? It stays on blue screen
Is it possible to adjust the strength of the vibration? When I use it my dog gets too startled.
no you can't
@@donsazon3608 isn't that what the number is for.
@@colecole3352 no, the number indicates the strength of electrical stimulation, not vibration.
I cannot decide between the Mini educator 1/2 and the Educator 3/4 mile what do you recommend? Is the Mini educator waterproof?
It is waterproof, have only used the mini e so can't compare the 2 for you
Grrat video. I found your videos few days agp been watching and learning alot.. I am planning on getting a e-collar whars the difference between this et30 and dogtra 1900s? Do they woek the same just one is more costly.
I'm in your situation did you ever get your answerwhats better brand and price ?
Why is it called mini, it’s the same size as the rest. A small training device❓❓I’ve seen lots of collar wise dogs. I was taught a very long time ago that they should wear the collar 2 weeks before it’s ever used. I never thought about what you just said. Good to know
I have a serious question. When I use this, everytime i try to put this collar on my dog, he knows its bad, and tries to kill me. He associates this collar with bad things, so i can not take it off og him or else i cant ever put it back on without a fight.
I start out by having my dog wear it only when we go out to play and have fun for a couple of weeks before introducing the stim. During that time I don't even carry the transmitter, I continue using leash corrections and verbal cues/commands so everything seems like business as usual. I think all dogs get collar wise eventually, but if you do things right it's not an issue. If all you do is slap it on and start pushing buttons in disciplinary drills, of course they're going to hate it :)
Thank you! I was struggling with confidence of use. Also, you breed GSD? Are they European breed? Where are you located?
i believe hes in canada and he does breed gsd im not sure of whether they are american or european lines
Do e collars shock the dog
@@tallulahc250 they shock or vibrate depending on what button you press they also have led lights if you loose your dog in the dark
Lose*
@@tallulahc250 it's closer to a tens unit. You've probably used one if you've ever gone to psychical therapy.
