Dogtra iQ Mini Additional Receiver Rechargeable Waterproof Mini Remote Dog Training E-Collar

Great collar for small dogs…the contact points are encased in plastic making it comfortable to wear for the dog. All ecollars should have the comfortable contact points 😊

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.

We are excited to be able to get our small dogs better at walking on the leash.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Week 1 Review - So far the experience has been good. Simple setup & design. I specifically got the it for the small profile for my small dogs & as a 2nd collar travel alternative to our at home invisible fence. Looking forward to investigating additional training materials.

Works great. I only need to use the vibe and she responds. It charges easily. The collar is very adjustable

It has been a useful tool for training my Golden Retriever and I would highly recommend.

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!!

Doesn't hold a charge after 2 yrs and doesn't work I unfortunately bought 2
