Thank you very much, but I am making a decision between the mini educator, the yellow one and the Tom Davis no bad dog which I like the collar on the bad dog, but I’m not sure if it’s a good system itself. Could you help me out?

I would like to know if the max level is same - higher or lower compared to the 8oo serie thanks

So which is better overall? Which one should i buy for a 90lb German Shepherd.

Dogtra: boost button below page, you can lock in settings and set boost for different levels, the only thing I don’t like is the no tone. I had the sport dog and hated the vibration, the vibration on the dogtra is about a 2 or 3 on the sport dog

If you’ve played around with both the Sport Dog and the EZ Educator you’ll also find the Sport Dog remote latency is slow especially the vibrate, it’s like a Nokia brick phone trying to spin up a bushed motor inside

Is this a good choice for barking corrections? Thanks.

You can turn off the mini-educator collar off with a magnet!

Very helpful video, my dog is an American bully and he humps new people or really anyone but me and is deaf I’m hoping the educator will help

I have the newer Dogtra ARC Handsfree Plus and I made the switch from SportDog just recently. I like the collar itself better and I like having the discreet single button control unit but you're right about the remote, it's not as intuitive as the others. I think the ideal controller would be the Mini-Educator controller with the ARC collar. I also agree with you on the sensitivity settings I don't feel the Dogtra until about 23-25 depending on where i place it in my hand. My 5 month old Rottie operates on 12-15 and if she's being highly distracted I may have to jump to 18. I only use higher settings to protect the dog. I'm also in Colorado and sometimes snakes and other wildlife can be an issue so it's critical to be able to stop and/or recall your dog instantly. The same goes for traffic situations. I can't imagine being so afraid of an e-collar that you'd risk your dogs life. Like you just did, I've used the TENS analogy many times when people give me the stink-eye for having an e-collar on my dog. It's an extended means of communication, you're just linking the behavior to technology rather than to a leash.

Volume issues...

Do you use the boost function on this if the dog isn't listening? What do you usually put the boost setting at?

Very helpful Thank you!

Lol Without pushing a button Americans are obviously not able going to toilet. 🤣

can you tell me which collar has the control i can wear ( keep on my body) that a warning goes off to me if my dog gets sday 100 feet away from me, then i can manually buzz them). i want to use it as a fence containment system & training. but i want the warning when my pet roams so many feet away from me . so i have full control of the dog MYSELF, without leaving the buzz, beep or shock up to the system itself. i have heard of the collars that when the dog gets so many feet .yards away from me i can buzz them? PLEASE HELP 4 - 4 MONTH OLDS, I NEED TO STOP ANY WANDERING AWAY FROM ME IN THE BUD - HEEEELP PLEASE

Skipped the real pro tactical: GARMIN

I investigated this FOB educator and found a significant design fault. The max you set applies both to rising stim and manual stim. So, you have to choose: 1. Set a max to be reasonable, and make your ecollar completely useless in emergency situations when you need to extreme control - dog is about to run into the road for example. 2. Set the max to be too high and if you hold the button too long, your got gets fried. Unfortunately by applying the max to both situations rules out this ecollar. It's a pity as I really like some of the other design choices.

Hi, it's been a number of months now since you posted this video, are you still a fan of this new unit? Unlike the other units there is almost no information available on the FOB Educator. I can't find a single review, nor do I see it listed a lot for sale. Amazon does not carry it. Makes me wonder if it's having some challenges that have made it less accepted. Thoughts?

Great video, thanks a lot! As far as I know those E-collars are high-end, any recommendation for budgets collars?

Don’t know why one would compare the Mini Educator to the 1900S. Dogtra makes a compact and a mini. When comparing makes more sense to compare collars in the same class.

What about the effective distance? That's really important for a lot of people. The one you like most is bad with dogs that have long hair. Doesn't that a deal breaker for German shepherds or poodles etc? The feeling is not the same for dogs as for us. I do not agree that a shock should be used to punish. I think the ONLY thing it should be used for is to get the dogs attention to be used only on dogs that space out and need a nudge. The collars can be used in a bad way and zapping the dog with high shock is nit cool at all. I am very string in positive reinforcement, not pain to,stop bad behaviour. It's exactly like hitting a dog when he misbehaves. I am surprised that you think that using pain by shock is a good way to change bad behavior. Again, the only acceptable way to use those collars is to get a dogs attention so he listens to a verbal command. I dont know about Amy research done on using different frequencies as commands, since yelling at a dog from far away might be a bad idea. I haven't heard anything about that. But using pain, in my mind is abusive. It's exactly like hitting hard enough to hurt. And you condone that? Or did I hear wrong?

The side button on the sport dog isn't necessarily a pager.....we call it the oh shit button. It's a high level of shock for whatever number you're on. The low, medium, and high for each number.

ECT = more features, Dogtra = more reliable and bulletproof durability, SportDog = budget model but better than the Chinese crap on Amazon :)

Thank you for the knowledge

Okay - Going to come back. But just up to 0:29 and I am calling it. SportDog is the only one that looks used. Lets see if this is the favorite, the rest look new out of the box lol

"This amplifier goes to 11. Most only go to 10 so this one is louder." Spinal tap.

Great video! The educator wasn’t consistent penetrating through the fur but ever since I bought the winged contact points it’s AMAZING!

As a hiker, do you see any reason to look at the Educator 400 over the mini? I wouldn't intentionally ever have the dog that far away from me.

Awesome Z.

So is the collar receiver the same size as the micro or smaller? The website seems to suggest that the FOB is the smallest, but I can’t find actual dimensions.

You didn't discuss range (where the Dogtra excels) or IP rating. I have a GSP that I had to get a Sportdog Stubborn Dog model, it lasted 2 years before the dial stopped working but the numbers wore off after 18 months. I have the Dogtra and it has better range, lasts longer and the vibrate is enough for my GSP unless he is highly distracted.

Very interesting! Would be great to compare the upper levels of vibration too. Excellent video anyway.

How do you teach him to break?

Definitely saw better results once I switched to this, my dogs love it! The bags arent' just pre-cut they are more like little nuggets and stay together better so not so messy.

Just found you! Thanks, great info!! I have a 2 yr old Sheltie and getting a puppy in May.

Thanks for making the video. Just got in my first FE-560 along with an order of Mini-Educators and was a little put off by how different the remote looked. Your video helped me see the similarities and differences. Will be starting a client dog on one today.

Nice one, this looks a lot more user friendly. I agree with having a slower rising stim, but having the dial up in 5's should be handy. thanks for making the vid man.

Answered all my questions, much appreciated!

I am interested to why, how and when you should use these on your dogs when training.

Great video man, more videos 👍🏼
