The Best eCollar for Companion Pets

Educator Collars are selected based on dog temperament and transmit range rather than dog weight. eCollars operate using a radio signal, and their transmit range is line-of-sight, meaning anything between the remote and receiver collar—such as hills, trees, buildings, and even adverse weather—can reduce the effective range.

Receiver Collar Power Categories

The systems fall into three distinct power categories:

• Low Power – Designed for softer temperament dogs that are more sensitive to correction. These units feature the smallest receiver collars.
• Low to Medium Power – Suitable for dogs with soft to normal temperaments. Approximately 90% of dogs fall into this category.
• Low to High Power – Intended for harder, high-drive dogs that might require higher stimulation levels or dogs over 25 pounds needing a longer, 1-mile transmit range. Levels 1-50 are similar to low to medium power units, but after level 50, these units deliver about 40% more power.

The receiver collar’s power determines its size and minimum dog weight recommendation. Higher-output receiver collars are larger and contain longer internal antennas, offering increased transmit range.
