E-Collar Educator EZ-900 Dog Training Collar with Remote, Yellow

Great product. We had a rescue pup who spent the first part of his life at a laboratory/testimg facility. He had some serious resource guarding and reactivity issues which was understandable considering what he had been through. Unfortunately, many training methods had been tried and failed. Regardless, we were not going to give up on him. His reactivity started turning toward us and other pups in our pack. We found a new trainer with a "can do" attitude and who shared our philosophy to never give up on a pup, especially one who had such a rough start through no fault of his own. We were reluctant to use an e-collar (most folks think of this as the old "SHOCK" collars, as did we). Our new trainer changed our perspective after allowing us to use one on our wrists while explaining how to appropriately use the device to communicate and not as punishment, similar to click training which did not work for this particular pup. Needless to say, after a couple more months of hard work, he really came around. This form of communication worked where treats, praise, and other communication/corrective methods were ineffective. Is he a perfectly behaved dog? No. But 95% of the time he is. So much so, that he passed his AKC Canine Good Citizen (CGC) certification and is working toward his Service level accreditation. We have had this collar for over a year. A few weeks ago the transmitter started acting up and not holding the stimulation level consistently. We typed an email to E-collar Technologies over the weekend and explained the issue. They responded first thing Monday morning with a polite email saying they knew what issue was and simply asked for the address to send us a replacement. That is a level customer service I was not expecting and what is commonly lacking these days. I will definitely recommend their products to anyone looking for an effective e-collar and a company that stands behind their products.

If you're on the fence get this! Most amazing training tool I've ever used with a dog. I introduced this collar to my 3 year old Rottweiler. In 2 days I was not only able to walk my dog off leash if I wanted to... He also finally learned to drop the ball when retrieving it, comes to me without being asked multiple times, he ignores all distractions including cats, squirrels, rabbits, other dogs and loud kids. His response to my verbal commands are immediate. I do not feel this collar is a replacement for training and effort. However it took my 3 years of effort, training and attention with my dog and gave me an overnight boost and immediate reinforcement that motivated my dog to respond to commands he already knew. This collar has a 0-100 range. I use 12-18 with my 100lbs Rottweiler and I often go 3-4 days between having to give him a reminder knick/buzz. I can't even feel the the knick at 12 and only by 20 do I start to feel the shock when I use it on myself. My dog now responds better off leash than on. The LED on the collar is super bright and works as a flashlight when walking him at night and also makes him highly visible to others. The collar also has an audible beep and vibrate function. It truly is waterproof, I've spend day after day at the lake or pool with zero issues, despite the charging port looking questionable to me. Battery indicators work well and the device maintains a super super long life. I just spent a week in the mountains and brought the wrong charger for the collar. After 7 days of use it still had a charge, albeit flashing red, when I returned home today. Seriously can't say enough good about this ecollar. Get one! I'd be very careful and test it on yourself. Also start small, if 15/100 is all a Rottweiler with a crazy pain tolerance needs I feel max power could be very very detrimental to a dogs psychology.

Great product, as this has helped correct my dog with certain unwanted behaviors and has helped me get his recall on a better path. The e-collar did help in a situation where he was not listening to my voice commands on vacation, where the property did not have a fence. He went too far near the road, and I heard a car approaching, and he still was not listening. Thanks to the e-collar, he came back. I think this is one of the safest products out there and tested and used for training by many, so I believe that the money is worth it. Battery life is great, more so on remote, but I don't need to charge that often. I would say this is not necessarily "easy to use" because you have to know what you're doing and how to properly train a dog using an e-collar (this is not a con, just my opinion). Essentially, if you don't have any background in that or have looked up training videos, I would say to do so first, so you know how to use it. In terms of the device itself, I was on YouTube constantly looking up which buttons do what because I'm a visual learner. NOTE: "Instant" mode can only be downloaded when you plug the device into the computer and download software. I was not aware of that until I called customer support, and someone helped me. KNOW YOUR DOG! This product comes with short prongs and longer prongs. However, my dog is EXTRA FURRY, so I had to purchase the 1" (extra) long prongs separately (great for long haired dogs, etc.), from the EZ website. These were only like $10-$15, but I wish there was an option to switch out or choose which prongs when you initially buy. The extra long prongs I sometimes have a problem with becoming loose (product still works and shock is received) because the tool to unscrew the short ones and the other prongs it comes with does not fit the extra long ones. Something to keep in mind.

The Educator EZ 1/2 Mile Dog Training Collar was worth every penny, and more! Before I got the 3 ecollars, my 2 Australian Shepherds and 1 German Shepherd [all young and full of energy], loved to go on walks/runs in the mountains; but only came back with me half the time. Sometimes they wouldn't return for a day or two. It only took 1 ecollar run for the puppies to get with the program and always stay within sight AND ALWAYS RETURN. After a month, I might need to 'stimulate' one of the dogs once per week; we run every day. I am hugely satisfied with the ecollars. SOME TIPS/SUGGESTIONS/OBSERVATIONS 1. FWIW - I found the constant stim mode most useful for my dogs. Vibration, tone, and momentary stim worked, but constant stim was more flexible. Specifically, I could change the intensity for a particular dog which depends on the dog, how errant he is being [just wandering around out of sight vs. chasing a deer] and how tight his collar is on, and I could do it in the field. 2. To me, the manual was semi-opaque. Everything was there, but I had to re-read it a bunch of times. 'Could be just me. 3. BUT ECOLLAR'S PHONE/EMAIL SUPPORT WAS OUTSTANDING. Easy to reach and understand, strong followup. 4. go to youtube for lots of good videos on how to use the ecollar with your dog. ecollar isn't a dog training outfit. They just make a wonderful tool for training. 5. When my dogs see the collars, they run to me to have the collars put on them! So for newcomers, I'd stress [like everyone else who's used them] that you're not shocking your dog, only painlessly getting their attention. 6. You'll probably be stunned by how quickly your dog[s] get with the program. Again, I am absolutely satisfied with my 3 ecollars.

This type of e-collar delivers a very, very low stimulation that causes a muscle twitching sensation. Almost every day at the dog park I have skeptics hold it in their palm and "zap" them at the level I am using to communicate with my dog, usually 12 out of 100. Many people don't feel it until it is 20/100 or above! The sound feature is a great replacement for clicker training. I plan on exploring the different programming options as my dog's capabilities evolve, but right now am very happy with the settings provided. My dog has only yelped once when I had to activate the collar at 60/100 because he stumbled across a rabbit in the woods and he was GONE. Without the collar I don't know at what point he would have realized he was away from me and I had little chance of catching him. I gave it 4/5 stars for two reasons, the vibrating setting seems more abrasive than the low electrical setting and the remote controller did break after a few months of use. The vibration is about twice as vibratey as a large cell phone and I opted to never use it. The remote controller screen did slowly stop displaying, but I used the locking mechanism to keep the stimulation level at the level I wanted and the remote has continued to function. The remote is decently sturdy and well-built, but I have butterfingers and literally threw the remote down a flight of stairs, kicked it across the side walk, and knocked it off my desk onto hardwood floor daily. If the remote survived that I would have given this product a 6/5 but I just ordered a new remote instead and now I have a "new" one for inside only and a "broken" one outside only.

First and foremost, test the unit on yourself first. Second, make sure the unit is working properly. I had to send a unit back because the red button on the side would get stuck down when pressed. This company has a great reputation and they are known for quality, but there are cracks in every system and I got a defective unit. The replacement worked perfectly. DON'T CHEAP OUT and buy some of the cheaper brands of e-collars. Your dog will end up paying for the money you saved. If you thoroughly understand leash pressure you will have no issue learning to use this tool and it will take you and your dogs relationship to the next level. If you don't, watch youtube videos, read books, or take classes. In my opinion, you should have taught your dog everything using classical and operant conditioning methods, that give your dog a clear understanding of what you are asking of him or her. The e-collar can then be used to reinforce those already known commands, after they are taught what the stimulation means on the lowest perceivable level to them. Eventually your dog will only need to wear the collar as an emergency back stop, rarely used, except for refresher training. If you put in the time and read some of the books out there on e-collar training by Larry Krohn, The monks of New Skeete and Marc Goldberg, and Ted Efthymiadis for example, you will have a guide by which to use this tool. Don't just put it on your dog and try to figure it out. You will ruin your relationship with your dog. There is a learning curve and you will make mistakes, but as you and your dog start to understand this new language, you're going to see your dog much happier, more confident and your relationship is going to flourish if you're doing everything right. When you become fluent in the language, you're going to have a best friend who understands you clearly, respects you, and can be trusted off leash. There are people in this world that will negligently, or purposefully misuse tools. There are also people who don't understand many tools and think they are too scary and dangerous for anyone to use. Be an ambassador for this technology. Don't let those two groups ruin it for the rest of us.

I have 3 dogs and they're all crazy in different ways - one rescue GSD that wants to attack any person or dog that comes near him, one GSD that's afraid of her own shadow, and one bernadoodle that wants to get into a shouting match with any dog he sees. The dog trainer I use recommended this specific brand - I bought a cheap version before that did nothing. This one, however, is easy to use, has a great system so I can easily control 3 dogs at once, and with the right training, my dogs all of a sudden listen! Didn't take them long - I've been using this for just a few weeks and it's made a huge difference in my dogs' behaviors. The Educator brand is more expensive than others, but worth every penny. Certainly less expensive than a bad incident that could happen with unproperly trained dogs. Highly recommended!! One word of advice, my bigger GSD has a thick coat around his neck, so I also bought the Educator CPAD-011 Dog Training Collar Receiver, which is a small replacement attachment to the receivers [the metal prongs that make contact with the dog's neck] with wings. That was a very good purchase as well - made it so he doesn't have to wear the collar so uncomfortably tight.

UPDATE JUNE 2026: ABSOLUT GARBAGE. Do NOT purchase this collar. After my last email, they sent me a replacement remote as the previous was faulty. Today, we were out on a walk. I let my dog off leash in a small field to go potty, as we'd been using the remote all morning and she was responsive on low levels. The 2 minutes she went potty, an aggressive dog ran up to her and I COULD NOT RECALL HER quick enough from 10 feet away. On HIGH the remote stopped working. I tested it after we got the dogs apart. I set it on my hand at 50 and it lit up but zero response. Terrible piece of junk that could get you in very dangerous situations. ______ Faulty remote and poor customer service. I reached out per my trainer because our remote stopped working randomly. The light wouldn't work when turning the dial, which in turn did not transmit to the collar. Sometimes I would press the button to correct and the flashlight would go off instead. I've had a SPORT DOG product for years and had absolutely no issues with their product - not to mention the battery lasted a lot longer than this product and it was not as expensive. With daily use in small increments, I can only get about 3 days out before needing to charge. Contacted their customer support and after requesting a photo of the manufacture label inside, they just sent me some order invoice and a return label with absolutely zero instructions or what to expect with the next steps. If I could return this product for a refund I absolutely would.

Very useful for dog training when use appropriately. Many adjustments, batteries are working well and I have it for a couples of years now and it still going strong. Now I use it mainly if I go to a crowded beach with the dog in case of… just use vibration. I actually just shock my dog twice since I have it. I use vibration and after the shock. It took just two shock to figure that after the vibration he better listen.

Dudé mucho en comprarlo. Al final resultó ser un gran producto para corregir algo de mi pitbull que ya con este collar puede andar suelta a correr y jugar. Sin correa nunca regresó al llamado, ahora con este control a distancia pudo aprender que al solo decir su nombre tiene que regresar. Aconsejo utilizar el producto con inteligencia y con ayuda de un entrenador, no es un juguete

Performs as described and worth every single penny. Easily adjustable and customizable to suit your training needs and the response is instant, no lag and battery life is fantastic, have used in rain, hail and sunshine and dogs have even gone swimming with it on and no issues. Just keeps going and going and has allowed me to get the dogs long distance recall to 100% which gives them and me freedom to explore and enjoy the world off lead.

It's working

I do not normally write reviews however I had such a great experience with this product and this company I thought I would. This product has been excellent so far has a lot of versatility and is very easy to use. I love the led light feature at night. My rhodesian ridgeback is able to run free in the woods and is easily located withthe light. The ability to select stim levels from 1-100 is great. When we first started training 15 was the max we used, quickly went to 10 which is bearly detectable when tested on your arm. Now only beep feature and vibrate is needed. Was nice to be able to set the max stim level so you cant mess up and over do it by mistake! I also had a great customer service experience with the company e-collar technologies. The plastic cover on the antenna had fell off while on a hike and was lost. I simply message to the company and had a response within an hour. I informed them of the situation and they had the replacement antenna shipped within the day. Really great customer service shout out to Jason M at e-collar technologies!
