I've been a Dogtra fan for many years. Not only for my own dogs, but the dogs at our training facility sell ONLY this brand e-collar for training high drive and working breeds. I've talked so many others into ditching the cheaper, crap brands of e-collars just for the simple fact that you get so much more from Dogtra. I've luckily only had to reach out to them a couple times. Once was due to the prong extension design and the lack of pliability, causing the extension itself to snap while in use. This matter was resolved in just one simple e-mail to customer service. Then, last week I was having what I thought was a battery issue with a remote. I contacted Shaun and with his prompt response, a few photos and some diagnosing, we were able to resolve the issue and got us back up and running in no time.

If you're looking for an e-collar for your dog, you need to know a few things about this brand that outshines the others...

Many models have "IPX9K" waterproofing, one of the highest ratings available for electronics.
Designed to withstand high-pressure water jets, rain, swimming, and full submersion.
