Review on Dogtra IQ Mini Small Dog Remote Training System: 400 Yard Range, Rechargeable Remote Trainer, Waterproof Collar - Effective Static & Vibration Pager Training, with PetsTEK Dog Training Clicker by Anita Simnioniw

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Dissatisfied with the rheostat dial (static level dial)

I just got the IQ MINI. I've always had 2 other manufacturers' electronic collars (5 units total) so I had a lot of units. I am very disappointed with the "rheostat dial". There is no locking or clicking mechanism on the dial to prevent unintentional movement of the dial by a number well above (or below) the intended static level. It would have been easy to hold the station and think the correction would be 20 as set, but it has shifted to 40 or 60. Correction should go quickly when pressing the correction button, but now I have to look before each press of the correction button to make sure it doesn't move. The reason I bought this collar was the size (my dog is 12lbs) and I'm stuck in Boston during Corona Virus and my other collars are in Florida. In my opinion this is a design flaw. For this reason I would not buy it. The size of the receiver is large and smaller than my other collars.

Pros
  • Hands-free operation
Cons
  • Mystery
