Dogtra iQ Mini Rechargeable Waterproof Mini Dog Training E-Collar with Water-Resistant Remote

Just the right size. My dog is 8 lbs and I’m 95 lbs. it’s hard to find things that aren’t too bulky for us. I appreciate the quality, ease of use and that the contact points aren’t metal. I did a lot of research and landed on this one.

Works great. I have a shelter dog that is very frightened and barks at everything. I don’t want to yell at him and have him be afraid of me. This stops the barking.

So I got the regular one last August after sending my dog to a board and train that uses this product. They encourage to try to get your dog to stop its poor behavior by just using the P button which vibrates the collar with no shock. This is a great feature for dogs who are very responsive to even the slightest things because then you never have to shock them. However, my baby girl is quite stubborn, and without the shock, she doesn't learn. I started using it for whining in the kennel. She would whine so loud because she wanted to come out and sleep with me. I have a process. I tell her the command QUIET. If she shuts up then no shock. If she continues to whine, I say QUIET once more. After the second command, if the poor behavior continues right away, I say the command again and give her little nicks until she does what is asked of her. If the lower setting of 20 doesn't work, I slowly increase it until she stops (with bigger dogs I find that 40 is the best if they are not hyper and excited at the moment). I can honestly say that she does not whine in her kennel anymore. It took about a week or two to get her to completely stop, but with consistency and patience and this collar, she learned. Now I use it for other things such as digging, jumping on people, getting off the couch, etc. The command OFF is the most common command for pretty much any bad behavior so she learns that if I say OFF, she is doing something wrong and should stop immediately. I rarely have to even shock her anymore now that she has associated the command with bad behavior.So I recently purchased a second collar and remote. This one has the 2 dog setting so I can use the same remote for two collars. IT WORKS WITH THE OLD COLLAR THAT IS NOT IQ+! I didn't know that it would also work with my old collar as well, but it was a nice surprise to find out. It's convenient because I can switch from one collar to the other depending on which dog is misbehaving without the need of a second remote and without it shocking both pups at the same time. I mainly purchased a second one so I can take my dogs on hikes off leash. They usually stay around me and I don't need the collar, but they love people, dogs, and chasing squirrels, so when we come across them, I have to make sure they don't dart off to greet or chase. I use the command COME, and the dogs come to me now without the need to shock. I still use the collar just to be safe because I don't want anything happening to them. If they try to dart for the street, I can shock them back for their own safety when necessary (which is rare).I was initially hesitant of shock collars because of the stigma they have. But this collar is under your control. With other collars without a remote, the dog might just be playing or wrestling and the collar assumes the dog is barking and get shocked for no reason. This collar and remote lets you decide which behaviors to correct, it allows control over how much shock the dog is getting or even just a vibration, and I believe it is completely humane. I have personally put it up to the highest setting and shocked myself because I would never use something like this on my animals without testing it. While it was rather uncomfortable to feel, it was not painful. That was good to discover.I completely recommend this product! I wake up, put the collars on, and usually never use them now...but they are there if I need them. My dogs thankfully have not associated the collar with the shock, so they don't choose to misbehave only when it is off. I worked hard to make it routine for them to always wear the collar so this association was never made.Hope this helps!!

My dog only weighs 22 pounds, so this device is much better than the version my friend loaned me (she has 2 golden retrievers). The device is perfect from distracting my dog from “temptations” and getting her focused on commands.

This is the third Dogtra training collar that I have purchased. I love their products, and they actually work very well. I always have a leash, but it is great to be able to allow my dog off leash, when conditions allow. My dog is four years old and wears the collar every time we go out. He is so well trained, that he almost never requires correction.

We have repeatedly tried to convince Amazon to implement a practice that does not obscure important labels and information about the products sold through this website. They again have failed to do so, by imposing one of their stickers directly on top of the only manufacturer's sticker listing the product's serial number.This information is important for warranty claims past the expiration of Amazon's return policy.Aggravating the matter is the ridiculously excessive, industrial-strength glue Amazon uses for its own annoying stickers. However, the careful use of automotive mineral spirits (with a carrier of non-chorinated brake cleaner, also available on Amazon), drug store rubbing alcohol, and gentle housepainting scraping tools, has enabled the successful and complete removal of the Amazon sticker to reveal the one that may someday be of great importance.The product itself is wonderful. The first example we bought has lasted nearly 20 years. This new unit becomes its nearly identical replacement. The system has needed but one replacement set of batteries in transmitter and receiver. We can hope that the new example will last just as long, and that we will not need to avail ourselves of dogtra's warranty that Amazon's sticker could have complicated.
