Review on ๐Ÿถ Enhance Dog Training Efficiency with the Dogtra iQ Plus Rechargeable Waterproof Remote E-Collar by Original Mansel

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great tool for training and an invisible leash.

This e-collar was recommended by a trainer I work with as an alternative to the flat martingale. The flat martingale was always in the wrong position when needed (small dog so easily inaccessible) causing it to cough/pant and not be set to poof. This trainer only uses DogTra e-Collars on his animals, rescuers, boards and trains. All the difference in the world. In just a few weeks I was even able to stop walking him on a leash. There are still some changes to work on: storming out the door when there's no family outside, freaking out when new people go out, "chatting" when she's unattended in the backyard with labs she can't see, or in the house behind us visitors. In addition, we will work off-leash during neighborhood walks and parks. It's ALL on Vibro. Used static electricity only once when going to the mailbox; She ran down the street to greet the neighborhood kids getting off the bus and the traffic jams. Used the shock to get her attention, waited and then pulled away, ready to use vibration for a gentle reminder if needed, it wasn't necessary. From the past she has to work on her leash manners when she's on a hike and dad is a bit ahead of us to match that perspective, plus I'm slow and she's impatient. Great that it has 100 settings. I wish there was only vibration. Yes I used Static but I would prefer not to have it. I wish it had an adjustable electronic collar with a bungee collar instead of a buckle collar. Not much to get the unregulated version as a supplement via Revain. At the very least, it should be recommended as an optional purchase. It's much easier to safely put the right tension on your neck.
