Educator Dog Collars, formerly known as Einstein Collars, stand out for their innovative features, quality craftsmanship, and exceptional durability—attributes that make them a unique choice. E Collar Technologies is the only remote dog training collar manufacturer based in the United States.
Compared to collars produced by Asian manufacturers, which may compromise safety and reliability, E Collar Technologies takes pride in creating electric dog collars with a primary focus on your pet's safety.
Although you might come across more affordable alternatives in the market, these often come with drawbacks like unreliability, sticky buttons, and inconsistent stimulation levels. Choosing an Educator Collar ensures a level of quality that surpasses other options, sparing you the inconvenience of frequent replacements.
Whether you have a mild-mannered, small dog or a more stubborn large breed and are looking for obedience training collars, no-bark collars, or e-collars for training hunting dogs, the diverse range of models caters to various needs. Whether you need a single training collar or one that allows training up to four dogs simultaneously, E Collar Technologies provides a variety of models to suit your specific requirements.

A departure from outdated Sharp Pulse technology, minimising head jerking.

As of 2023, Educator E-Collars are categorised into six models, each with slight differences in transmit range, power, and transmitter style. Refer to the specific details under each model for a tailored selection.
You can never have enough range. If your dog is out of transmit range your e-collar is pretty much worthless. Educator Collars come in 800km, 1.2k, and 1.6km range. Electronic dog training collars use a radio signal similar to a walkie-talkie and transmit range can be cut down as much as 50% due to several factors such as hills, trees, buildings and even bad weather. If you can clearly see your dog on a clear day and are holding the transmitter high above your head, you’ll get the full stated range.
E-Collar Technologies produces two transmitter styles: the round stopwatch design and the bar-style design. When asked for a recommendation between the two, I typically advise that if you prefer a "simple" and user-friendly approach, the stopwatch-style transmitter is the better choice. On the other hand, if you enjoy exploring numerous features and functions, the bar-style transmitter would be more suitable for your preferences.
Just like when us humans walk across the carpet and touch a doorknob and receive a tiny static shock, it doesn't hurt, but it can be surprising and cause us to vocalize. The same kind of surprise can occur when you set a specific level with the e collar and hit a button.
To solve this issue, E-Collar Technologies has patented the “InstaStim” feature that allows you to gradually roll the stimulation up and down from 0 to 100 with the thumb wheel. Basically, it allows your dog to let you when enough is enough by complying with the command or stopping the unwanted behavior.
It's also a great feature for boundary training. As you observe your dog leaving your property, you can slowly roll the stimulation up until the dog stops and returns.
This is a built-in safety feature that allows you to preset a maximum stimulation level directly into the transmitter. For example, if you never want the stimulation level to go over level 20, set it to level 20 and even if you inadvertently bump the stimulation level to 100 the stim level will always max out at level 20. Great for people that have kids or like to carry the transmitter around in their pocket.
Besides a few other small differences, the Ramp feature and expandability to 3 and 4 dogs are the only main differences between EZ and PE 900 models. Ramp allows the user to preset and low and higher stimulation level into the transmitter. When the correction is applied, the stimulation will start at the lower preset level and automatically ramp up to the higher preset level over 1 or 2 seconds. This can also be done manually by using the InstaStim feature on the EZ-900 by rolling the stimulation level up using the thumbwheel.
Educator PE-900 Pro Series:
If your dog is over 5 lbs, has a sensitive to normal disposition, and you are looking for something super easy to use and ½ mile range is enough, the ET-300 Mini Educator is our best-seller, preferred by most pro trainers and the e-collar I use personally. However, If you live in a rural area and your dog has more room to roam the ¾ mile range ET-400 series are a great choice.
The 900 series Bar style units are also low to medium power and designed for dogs with soft to normal temperaments but have more bells & whistles and are a bit trickier to use.
If you have a larger dog that is on the tougher, higher drive side, I recommend the ET-800 The Boss or one of the 1200 models for hunting dogs.
