Mini Educator ET-302-1/2 Mile Rechargeable Dog Trainer Ecollar with Remote for Small, Medium, and Large Dogs by E-Collar Technologies - Electric, Vibration, Tone, and Stimulation Collar

I waited a while before writing a review: We bought the mini educator for our Aussie pup in August'24 that was nipping and grabbing our arms and legs no matter what I did (we did) he continued literlly making us bleed with his extra sharp teeth. (esp. when he had quick crazy spirts of energy come out of now where) Bought this as a recommendation from our daughter (who gave her lab freedom to run using this) and it works like a charm for both of us! Our Aussie is smart and learned quickly that the vibration is all he needed to stop. He is turning a year old and all we've had to do is show him the device and he backs off. He's a fantastic dog!!. He's calming down nicely without needing to use the educator much at all, (he's maturing beautifully.) but having the collar on at night when he wants to go out, has been a blessing so we can see where he is on our farm. It's been the best investment! I've raised big and med. dogs before be he was very dominate and my arms were full of scars. I am sure this can be a life saver for frustrated families and I'm sure it will save some dogs from being brought to a shelter. Every dog can be trained but some dogs just need a mini educator for a little while to bring some skin protection to the unsuspecting owners. :). This collar holds his dog tag and he sits patiently to get his collar on. This comes highly recommened. Our dog is now 67lbs. and he was around 30lbs when we began using it. ( I wrote an update that the shock didn't work and was going to call the company but it IS working correctly. I really like this product and am not sure what happened in the few hours it didn't work)

After years of putting off getting an ecollar, I finally got one. The jubow for $40ish dollars. And my god was it horrible. The base shock was so high, idk how youd ever condition a dog to it. The base was around a lvl 50 of the mini educators. Insane. Anyways i returned it and got this one. Love the vibration and sound options. Stopped my dog in his tracks the first time I used it. Slowly getting him acclimated to the stimulation. Havent had any issues so far. No issue w/ charging or dying on me. Love that you can lock it. Pls for the love of your dog, if you plan on using an ecollar, do not get the cheap ones. Youll just end up terrifying and shutting your dog down. Get this or something of equal value

We incorrectly rated it this product as fair but it was an operator error issue, not the e collar. This e color is wonderful. It works really well with our dog and we feel that she is safer and happier as we have more control and she has more freedom. Doesn't approach people or other dogs unless permitted. She's almost always off leash. She gets to run, not walk.

Best trainer we’ve owned and ever gone through write a bit. Extremely responsive! Only downside is that the straps it comes with are very cheap and easily ripped or torn by dogs. Overall it is worth it.

Best e-collar on the market. Been training dogs for a long time, got my first working line lab and he’s coming up on 2 years old—so his drive can occasionally lead to some stubbornness while we’re working and learning. The tapping mode and continuous/consistent stim as needed has already switched up our performance together. This tool is amazing and a game changer for off lead working dogs and training.

I tried an off brand ecollar, it would randomly shock my beloved dog to the point it was counterproductive and I returned it. I really have a challenge on my hands with a rehomed GSD and was watching many youtube training videos. The ones from American Standard suggested this ecollar, and I've been using it for a few weeks, and the results are good. I actually use the vibrate mode the most, much like vibrate on a cell phone, it's stopped him from escaping through the hedges, seperation anxiety and I can walk him off leash even by other dogs, or geese at the park, with perfect recall. Worth consideration. Good luck.

I have an 8 yr old dog that we adopted from the shelter. He always had a number of annoying issues that we could tolerate in the past. But after moving to new house these issues started to get much worse very fast for some reason.I spent a lot of time on YouTube learning how to train and fix these issues. Joined subscription based online dog training. After about 1-2 months, I did manage to fix most issues using positive only counter conditioning methods and some small changes in the way we managed him. I managed to fix most of the issues like barking at door bells, door knocks, garage door opening, jumping on visitors, barking on leaSh at people on walks, barking when family members talk a little loudly at each other in the house etc.However there were still two issues what I could not fix using positive only methods. These were : 1. fence fighting as we shared backyard fence with 4 other neighbors. 2. Barking & lunging on leash at other dogs on walks (although he was fine with humans now)I thought very hard about using an eCollar on my pet. It was either this, put up with my dogs bad behavior and risk neighbors complaining for his fence fighting or return him to the shelter to be someone else's problem. I decided to purchase this eCollar as a last try and I couldn't be happier with it.Fence fighting was fixed in a few days using only level 6 to 9 and some very good timing. Before the eCollar when he started going beserk, I had to go out to the backyard in the night with a leash, try to chase down my dog, put a leash or carry him indoors. Aggression at other dogs on outdoor walks is now reduced significantly but I have only had the collar for about 2-3 weeks.I am also using the eCollar for improving the heel and recall outdoors. Adding the eCollar for his heel only needs a working stim level 2 outdoors and I can get him to walk right by my knees with occasional ecollar pressure at level 2. As an indication, when I put the collar on my own body, I only barely start to feel the stim at a level 8. It is more of a feedback to my dog that he is going out of the heel zone and needs to come back in. Certainly not a punishment at all.For recall outdoors on a long leash I work mostly under level 10 to get his attention for him to come back when he is really distracted.It took me a long time to arrive at a decision to purchase the eCollar but I am now fully convinced I made the right choice. I took my time to learn how to use it properly first. After using it for about 2-3 weeks, I did not break the bond I have with my best friend, we are still good pals. In fact it think it made our bond stronger as he is a lot more in tune with me where he used to turn a deaf ear in the past. I find he is learning to leave the walks up to me and he just needs to follow that's all. I now think there is hope my dog can go off-leash maybe in a month or two. As soon as there is no aggression at other dogs, and his heel and recall is full proof with heavy distractions, I will take him off leash but with just the eCollar for safety.If you are like me, struggling with dog issues and are thinking of returning your dog to the shelter, DON'T. Give this a try. I strongly recommend you first take the time to learn how to use it responsibly on our best friends. There are a lot of good quality free videos available on YouTube. The 2 Youtube video series playlist that were most useful to me are :1. How To: E-Collar Training! By Take the Lead K9 Training2. Penny's Training Camp Journey By Liberty K9 Dog Training & RehabilitationOr seek help from a professional balanced dog trainer.As for the product quality, while a bit pricey, I found to be very good quality. I did not have any battery issues as mentioned by others. Battery last about 2-3 days before I have to charge it. Also did not have any issues with inconsistent stimulation levels mentioned by others. But I do ensure I fit it snugly on my dog every time. As I said, take the time to learn how to use it properly to get the best use of it and to treat your dog humanely and respectfully.
