This Dogtra ecollar does not offer a lock for the stim level. But I personally never use the lock on my ecollars that do have that feature. You are going to want the ability to fine tune up and down with the level when training. Ecollar Tecnhologies ecollars (ecollar.com) offer a locking dial if you need the feature.

To answer your question: That's going to depend on the individual dog. You need to find your dog's "working level" aka the lowest level of perception. I would highly encourage you to find a local professional to help you with ecollar training or if there isn't an experienced trainer in your area who is well-versed in proper ecollar conditioning and training, I'd recommend purchasing Larry Krohn's book and reading it before starting any ecollar work with your dog. www.amazon.com/Everything-need-about-Collar-Training/dp/1521126550/ref=asc_df_1521126550/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=241995309321&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=2091290010245363159&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9008843&hvtargid=pla-547402577447&psc=1 However, 4 months is a bit younger than we like to start dogs on ecollar training. We like to wait to 5 months. For now I would recommend keeping your pup on a leash or long line and practicing the basics of recall then adding in the ecollar when he's a bit more mature. You have to teach him what the ecollar means and not just use it as the "no, don't do that" button.

Yes, the contact points are interchangable and won't change the water-proof status.

@@leadthewayk9training thank you so much!

That's going to depend on the individual dog and interestingly enough it doesn't have anything to do with the size of the dog. Some large dogs are very sensitive and some small dogs are very insensitive and vice versa. You need to find your dog's "working level" aka the lowest level of perception. I would highly encourage you to find a local professional trainer to help you with ecollar training or if there isn't an experienced trainer in your area who is well-versed in proper ecollar conditioning and training, I'd recommend purchasing Larry Krohn's book and reading it before starting any ecollar work with your dog. amzn.to/40OQIKU

www.k9vitaminshop.com/product-p/fgs-ebc-s-8-16.htm is where we get our bungee collars. You probably want the small size but measure your dog's neck to be sure. Happy training!

I'd guess the battery need to be replaced. You can order replacement batteries from Dogtra on their website. Otherwise you can call Dogtra and have them look at it but that requires you to mail it to them (in California) and wait for them to fix it/mail it back and it's definitely not still covered under warranty so no idea what the cost would be for them to look at it. But I'd just start by ordering a replacement battery off their website.

www.k9vitaminshop.com/product-p/fgs-ebc.htm They help keep the ecollar fitting snuggly while also making it more comfortable for the dog with the elastic strap. I use them on all dogs now.

You can buy them here: www.ecollar.com/products/cpad-011-winged-ultra-comfort-pad-short-points-for-long-hair

At what age can you use it to correct behavior on a Siberian Husky Pup?

Check to make sure the charger is firmly pushed in, and also try using a different outlet. Then if it's been charging for longer than 3 hours and it's solid red still, I would guess either your charger is broken or the battery in your collar/remote needs to be replaced. If your ecollar is less than 2 years old, Dogtra should honor their warranty and will fix it or replace it. Call Dogtra customer support at 1-888-811-9111 or email them at info@dogtra.com. Good luck!

www.k9vitaminshop.com/product-p/fgs-ebc.htm this is where I buy bungee collars. They come in a couple sizes so make sure you get the size for your dog.

I'm not sure I understand your question.

I've never seen that. Maybe a pager setting? I'd recommend calling the customer service number and asking Dogtra why your ecollar is saying that.

This ecollar does not have a lock option.

@@leadthewayk9training thank you so much for responding. Do you know of anyone that do? that are high-quality open to other brands.

@@carishields7834 ecollar technologies mini (et-300) has a lock feature and is very comparable to the dogtra 280. I actually switched a few years ago to ecollar tech for our training clients. I have a video on that ecollar as well.

@@leadthewayk9training thx I have used it with a friends dog I didn’t care for it but in blind so I really really need a collar with a lock on the setyings - I’ll go check out your video now !

@@carishields7834 if it's the remote you don't like, they have a 900 model that has a remote more similar to the dogtra remote.

This collar has both functions- vibrate and electronic stimulation (shock).

@@leadthewayk9training how do I use the vibrate function to condition my dog? I don't wanna shock him with it getting use to it

@@kingdon9690 if you are not familiar with how to condition a dog to an ecollar I strongly encourage you to find a local trainer who is experienced with ecollars. If that's not an option, I would recommend going on Amazon and buying the book by Larry Krohn titled 'Everything You Need To Know About Ecollar Training'

@@leadthewayk9training I have been watching alot of videos of Tom Davis using the 1900s and 280c, he says vibrate but yet says hit the nick button which sents a shocking sensation. I know how to condition the dog with starting out on 1, until the dog gives a reaction and use a collar etc. But I thought it was just a vibrate not a shock, that's where it's confusing.
