Oh wow! My e collar doesn’t have different levels for vibrate, only for stimulation. I wish it had different levels for vibrate because the vibration is pretty strong. For a smaller or more sensitive dog it could almost be more aversive than the stim lol

Hodge will blow through 40+ on stim when he spots his favourite child at the skate park.

I've never dressed my dogs, mostly because I'm too lazy for such things these days. The kids used to dress the cats (back in the day) lol

Today I learned Brew’s ecollar has a BEEPING MODE or “Pavlovian tone” as they call it LOL I had no idea!!!!!! Amazing LOL it’s pretty complicated to switch back and forth between vibrate and tone though. Well, not THAT complicated but still. You can’t use both at the same time which is annoying. I wish they would add another button so you can use the stimulation, vibrate, and tone, all at the same time without having to switch between modes. Right now you can only use tone and stim or vibrate and stim. But still, it’s pretty cool they have a tone option. I tested it on Brew tonight and he responds the same LOL at least with recall. We will see how he reacts with dogs. Or I might just only use it for recall and then use vibrate for dogs etc. idk.

I used pro. trainer Tom Davis. His e-collar looks great but I used a cheaper one, and learnt the hard way to get a good one

I dont agree with everything these trainers do but you have to balance train. Not all Positive not all negative. And i dont consider e collars negative.

That is exactly me! I got a much cheaper one and found out it was complete junk. I don't even use an e-collar because I can't afford a good one and I feel like I'm doing more harm than good with my cheap one. I really want his e-collar

Yep, I'm with you - his is the one to have, or at least one from the Dogtra range. For Tom's model it would cost me: USD 213.00 = AUD $329.29, that's not including postage to Australia.

The Dogtra IQ is 347$ locally

Yeah, it’s crazy! But worth it, I just need to save up. I’m lucky I don’t really need it, Chase’s recall is perfectly fine without it, but I would definitely prefer to have the peace of mind.

Thats why i have e collars.Tucker has tested recall on walks recalling off cats, and squirrels. But we have rabbits and cats that like to come through our yard and its nice to have that incase he tries to go at them or another dog. Also in the prarie i dont trust him 100% with prey

Yeah, I have considered putting my e collar on him just for emergencies. If he were in danger I wouldn’t care if the e collar stem was too high, I would just want him back safe.
