Educator K9-400 K9 Handler Professional E-Collar Dog Training Collar with Remote - Up to 3/4 Mile Range, Waterproof, Rechargeable, 100 Shock Stimulation Levels, Vibration, Tone, 37-Inch Bungee Collar

We like it.

I tried other less expensive brands; however, they did not control my 95 lb dog. This is what I had previously & paid the price to keep my dog safe from harm .

Seriously… my intelligent but hyper and stubborn Bernedoodle has made a 360 degree turn around. Although she is very intelligent and was a breeze to potty train and teach basic commands… she was completely out of control with any external stimuli. It was a constant battle to keep her from bullying her small older sister and her cat brother. I could not manage her on lead as she is huge and strong… she would grab the lead in her mouth and about take me down!Since starting training with the etrainer K-9 Handler… she has made a 360 turn around! I watched you tube videos instructing the best way to use the trainer… I did have to put the level up to 20 to get the slightest acknowledgment from her… but once she did… she only had to be at this level when I missed her bullying behavior escalating. So we are both learning… she is calmer…more focused… little to no bullying of her siblings… less mouthing on leash and in general… mindful of outdoor boundaries and has stopped plowing down her little sister outdoors. The energy in the home is now calm and safe for my other pets… and she is very focused and obedient to commands. Literally a miracle in my opinion. I had researched and researched and settled on the K9 as my girl became even more aggressive or hyper with at any form of correction or rewarding. I was concerned that the typical shock of a collar might cause more issues. I also love the light on the collar… really useful. I have only used the vibrate/pulse correction once …when she was running towards the road… I have never had to use it again.What I dislike… the bungee collar is pretty useless… the bungee is so stiff… it really doesn’t work as one would hope. Having a buckle collar is a pain.. having a click collar would be very helpful. Some complain about setting up the collar for use… I personally had no difficulty… but it is more complicated than the average shock collars out there. It would be helpful to have a basic training manual. I was very surprised to see the proper way to use a training collar… so would recommend watching the many videos on you tube. Also…the battery life is less than stellar. I recharge every night… not a game changer as I don’t want to leave the collar on overnight anyway. I really don’t hear the tone for tone correction… and from what I can gather… it is paired with vibrate.Having the around the neck lanyard is helpful too… it helps me take advantage of training opportunities at any given moment… and be consistent. Happy with my purchase so far!

The battery on the collar only lasts 8-10 hrs. The unit itself is great quality, read the user manual as there is a learning curve. The only complaint is the battery life on the collar is minimal. I would recommend getting the upgraded contact points titanium extra 15 bucks and the buckle collar extra 20 bucks. Lol it should be standard for an extra few bucks. That way they have a good collar with contact points that do not irritate a dogs skin. I get the world is built on the lowest bidder. Give us an option to get the good option.

I love the collars and the distance. Only thing I’m not a huge fan of is the battery life. I have to charge it every night. So if I camp I have to find a way to keep them charged the entire trip. Other than that I love them
