Blunt Stimulation is the term used for wide pulse stimulation providing a muscle reflex response not a jerking response found in narrow pulse stimulation systems. For the most humane solution to off leash control without undue discomfort to your dog trust Educator E-Collar.
Our innovative Control of Stimulation (COS) feature, which comes standard with all E-Collar Technology products, allows users to fine-tune stimulation levels to accommodate a range of canine temperaments. This feature enhances training outcomes and promotes a more successful training experience for both the handler and the dog. The COS technology, also known as Voltage-to-Amplitude conversion, is integrated into all E-Collar Technology products, thanks to our patented design.
The intensity dial can be adjusted smoothly and safely from 0 to 100 levels to prevent any potential overstimulation. Our patented “lock and set” function allows users to securely set their preferred stimulation level without the risk of accidentally increasing it. The convenient blue LCD displays featured on all E-Collar Technology products provide users with an easy way to monitor stimulation levels at all times.
Proper use of an e-collar is crucial, as low-level stimulation can have a calming effect on the dog. It is advisable to avoid high levels except in emergencies. The stimulation is comparable to a medical device known as a Muscle Stimulator or TENs Unit, which doctors use to re-educate muscles, alleviate muscle spasms, improve range of motion, prevent muscle atrophy, and address conditions stemming from a stroke. This method does not cause any marks or lingering pain and encourages compliance through muscle control of the dog’s neck.
When testing on our hands it can feel very sporadic as we have many smaller muscles in our hands and fingers; to get the best result we recommend testing on the forearm on a larger muscle. When testing over and over your body does begin to “expect” the feeling and this can sometimes feel stronger or weaker depending on the person. We like to suggest placing it on your arm and testing in C mode around a level 15. This is where most people begin to feel the stimulation. Keeping in mind that dogs can typically feel the stimulation at much lower levels and the neck is a more “sensitive” area.
It is important to ensure that the collar is adjusted properly so that the “contact points” can make direct contact with the skin. There should be enough space to fit a couple of fingers between the collar strap and your dog to prevent skin irritation and discomfort. If the collar is too loose, the contact points may not administer stimulation reliably. Conversely, if the collar is too tight, it may cause chafing on the dog’s neck. The recommended position for the collar receiver is on either side of the neck, just below the ears, rather than on the windpipe.
During the initial period of training, we suggest placing the collar receiver (with the power turned off) on your dog during playtime or enjoyable activities for the first week or two. This helps your dog to form positive associations with the collar and to become comfortable wearing it. Following this acclimation period, you can gradually introduce stimulation to your dog. To do so, start by finding the lowest level of stimulation by adjusting the dial while applying continuous stimulation. The goal is to identify the point at which your dog first responds, and to set this as the baseline level.
Over the next week, continue to engage in activities with your dog as usual while wearing the collar (with the power turned on). Reward your dog with treats or affection as you deliver stimulation, helping your dog to associate the sensation with a positive experience. As your dog becomes accustomed to the e-collar, you can incrementally increase the stimulation level to achieve the desired response. Keep in mind that lower levels of stimulation generally lead to better long-term results. If higher stimulation is necessary, we recommend using brief pulses or the momentary button feature.
It is not recommended to use an e-collar to correct a puppy younger than 6 months of age. However, introducing an e-collar to puppies between 4 to 6 months can be done using the gradual introduction technique outlined above.
Dogs weighing as little as 5 pounds have successfully been trained using our small collar receivers. The majority of small dogs typically respond well to the vibration feature, with the stimulation being utilised solely as a means to strengthen the vibration training. The ME-300 with the RX-070 Micro Receiver has been designed specifically for small dogs. This smaller collar receiver offers a more compact design, weighing 20% less and providing 20% less stimulation. In addition, the contact points are positioned approximately 20% closer together for small dog comfort. Additionally, the collar is adjustable, enabling horizontal or vertical positioning of the contact points, providing a better fit for small dog breeds.
Yes, with our innovative ‘lock and set’ feature this allows customers utilizing multi-dog models to select personalized intensity levels ranging from 0 to 100 for each individual dog, taking into consideration their unique temperament and behavior traits. Additionally, all models come equipped with adjustable boost levels that can be customized independently for each dog in multi-dog setups.
E-Collar Technologies employs cutting-edge packaging technology to ensure waterproofing up to 500 feet for both the collar receiver and remote transmitter in select models. Our round remote transmitters are designed to float, to help prevent loss during water activities. For units that are regularly exposed to water, it is recommended to tighten screws monthly and conduct routine inspections for any defects to minimize the risk of internal water damage.
While the 900 and FOB series remote transmitters are so technologically advanced that they may not float due to packing constraints, they remain water resistant.
When using an E-Collar while swimming, it’s important to consider how water can affect its functionality and your dog’s response. Water acts as a conductive material, which can impact the stimulation levels needed to get a response from your dog.
Keep in mind that when the collar is completely submerged in water, it may require a stronger level of stimulation as the water can absorb some of the stimulation being sent to the dog.
On the other hand, once the collar is out of the water and the dog is still wet, the stimulation may feel more intense due to the water’s conductivity.
Water can be a significant source of distraction for many dogs, which may require increased stimulation to keep their focus. We suggest focusing more on your dog’s response rather than the level on the screen.
A blinking green indicator light indicates a fully charged battery.
A blinking yellow/orange light signifies the battery is approaching low levels of power.
A blinking red light, when no buttons are being pressed, indicates that there is only a limited amount of usage time remaining. The LED will change to a solid red when an activation button on the remote is pressed.
The white light on your collar receiver is designed to enhance visibility in low-light conditions. It can emit a steady or flashing white light to help illuminate your dog’s surroundings during nighttime use.
The designation “1D” refers to a single dog in the current setting.
A flashing “1D” allows for manual adjustment of the stimulation level using the dial.
However, a solid “1D” indicates that the stimulation level is fixed and cannot be altered.
In multi-dog systems you may also see a 2D, 3D, or 4D depending on the configuration.
To lock and unlock your stimulation level for the round handheld transmitters follow the outlined steps below.
These instructions apply to the 300, 400, 800, 1200 series only.
There are two main stimulation modes available on your e-collar, including the Momentary (M) stimulation mode and the Continuous (C) stimulation mode.
The momentary stimulation feature delivers a single pulse of stimulation at the specified level when the activation button on your remote is pressed and set to the “M” function.
Continuous stimulation provides a consistent level of stimulation when activated through the remote’s C function, remaining active as long as the button is depressed, and automatically ceasing after 10 seconds. This feature is designed to ensure the safety of your dog by preventing unintentional over-stimulation.
