Awesome electronic dog collar #NoBadDogs

Dogtra 280C Boost Tom Davis Edition feat. Boost n' Bungee is my first e-collar and allows me more dog training and obedience. This collar is a HUGE game changer when it comes to simple workouts like walking, tagging, playing, following simple commands, obedience, etc. Tom Davis and Dogtra have created something amazing here that looks great and works great! I have a black labrador. / German shepherd mix (high energy and eager to play) and after using this collar in our training and games this collar changed his behavior drastically. The collar has an elastic band that allows you to adjust the fit and shape of your dog's neck, and you can lock the elastic band in place to keep the collar in place when the dog moves or shakes. My main issue with e-collars was that the plain black color and rugged look made them less attractive (especially when other dog owners asked about them). This collar has very bright colors that catch the eye and draw attention. The slogan "No Bad Dogs" and the stylish party design on the collar make the game even more fun and entertaining! In addition, it is also very stylish! "Nick" and "Persistent Nick" is a cool feature that allows you to keep pressing to remind your dog to follow the command or action you're reinforcing. The boost feature is one of the best features of this collar and it's game changing. This feature is fully customizable to add variety to your workout. This is useful on days when your dog may be overly excited or distracted from training. The collar has 127 levels of stimulation which is very versatile for each dog's energy/stimulation level. This flexible feature allows you to find different levels at which your dog responds best. I have found that my dog responds between 5 and 10 and the reinforcement is set to 5. The boost adds the specified level to the current level. For example, if your dog responds to 10 and your boost is set to 5, pressing the boost button will increase the level to 15. The pager function on the remote control is a very useful feature. When you press the button, the collar vibrates, reminding your dog to follow the command you associate with him. For Panther, a pager means "comeโ€, he comes towards me from the left and executes the command "sitโ€. He's very attached to food, so binding a command to a pager button was very easy. This 280C has a range of 1/2 mile which is good for those who enjoy hiking their dog or letting their dog go off leash on walks where they don't mind the dog running a little ahead. Just remember that outdoor objects between the collar and the receiver can affect the range. I never see myself that far from my dog wearing a collar, but it's a nice feature when applicable. Overall I had a great and positive experience with this e-collar! This is my first E-Collar and it has changed the way the panther executes simple commands like come down, stand and stay. In case you don't know Tom Davis, he has a YouTube channel called Upstate Canine Academy. I highly recommend watching his video to see how these dogs transform with various implements like germ sprinklers, fake collars, and e-collars. I've always been hesitant to wear e-collars, but after reading about it and watching Tom Davis' videos, it gave me and my dog the confidence to learn a new tool! Nothing is a 100% solution, but I can almost guarantee that once you put this collar on your dog it will drastically change the way you live and train with your dog! It is always recommended to hire a coach when transitioning to behavior changes, following new commands, etc.
