Dogtra 1900S 3/4 Mile Range Rechargeable E-Collar with Adjustable Levels for Dogs

Dogtra 1900S makes training our dog effective & efficient as it saves a lot of time! Easy to operate & convenient to bring it out.

Being the owner/parent of an EXTREMELY intelligent and stubborn adolescent 100+lbs Cane Corso pup (1 year old), I was unfortunately on the verge of rehoming. He was super anxious, high energy no matter how much I walked, ran, jogged.. Ever hear “A tired dog is a happy dog?” Well this dog NEVER GOT TIRED! It was genetic mental crap fest. He had separation anxiety, cried and chewed, and chewed and cried. I work from home and he would literally chew and cry 2 feet from me! I read books, watched vids, and purchased 6; you heard that right, SIX different e-collars. My dog easily figured out ways to deal with the static correction and essentially failed to correlate the correction to bad behavior. Two dog trainers later I was encouraged to purchase the Dogtra collar. With hopes dwindling along with my patience and funds (dog trainers aren’t cheap ppl), I took a leap of faith. Well I’ve been flying ever since and haven’t looked back. Now for you dog parents out there that shun e-collars as cruel torture devices… why are you reading this? I’m not here to sell you butterflies and rainbows… if you crank this bad boy up to the max (which I could never imagine being appropriate) I am pretty sure you will have a taser on your hands. That’s not the point. Finding a level where your dog is uncomfortable with the stimulation enough to decide “I think I should not do this” is the point. That sweet spot for me is 30-35 depending on the distraction level (this thing goes to 127!). Now with other sport dog collars my boy never flinched, never responded, just plain old kept the show going. But Dogtra came and changed the game. Now I have a dog that gets rewarded constantly, spends more time doing what he loves, is a great car, movie night, and small child companion, and isn’t looking for mischief because I have established boundaries and he knows that “No” means “No”… that is the point after all. FYI - THIS DEVICE HAS NO WARNING BEEP! Use your words people! As doggie parents you can’t out run a dog determined to run after a cat, dog, squirrel, deer, etc. but this device gives you Thor like powers to reach across that yard and refocus their behavior back on you when YOU CALL THEM, not the beep…THAT IS THE POINT… Now on to EASE OF USE: charges fully in under 2 hours. It holds a charge for at least a couple days or more. Directions are straight forward, comes with a handy lanyard so you can walk/jog the park without your pockets sagging. As a woman this is great. Excellent range and has a nice led on both the collar and remote that indicates a low battery- excellent. Comes with a dual plug to charge both devices at the same time (Dogtra you truly thought this through *smile)… the whole package comes in a super nice almost gun like case for long term storage for when your doggo graduates to listening to just YOUR WORDS and you can put it away… I’ve dropped the remote plenty of times, my dog scratches, shakes, and roles all over the collar and it has held fast just fine - super durable! The collar fits him comfortably and doesn’t dig in. You can feel the quality of this kit the moment you open it. It’s everything they say it is when you use it properly. No issues here! If you are like me and have a stubborn adolescent dog that shed it’s adorable angelic puppy qualities and has tested your heart strings, get a reputable trainer to train YOUR behavior and this collar to establish the boundaries for your pup! All dogs are good dogs, can’t say the same for ppl tho! Lol!

I think this is a really great product overall so I would leave 5 stars but I do think it is lacking in a couple of areas that I hope to see in future models. It includes a great range and has a wide range to adjust the shock along with waterproof an a lock feature. There are 4 things I would improve though: 1) having different tone settings. It has one long beep currently but it would be great to have the ability to change, such as several rapid beeps at once, as I use this feature more frequently than others for recall. 2) similar to point 1, having different levels for the vibration setting. For the same reasons as point one, having the ability to increase or decrease vibration would be great so that if my dog isn’t responding to low input vibration, I could increase it before having to go to the shock mode. 3) having the ability to lock settings for each dog. While the lock feature is a great addition, the lack to adjust it specifically for each dog kind of makes it useless when you have multiple dogs of different sizes and response levels. Being able to adjust the settings and lock for each specific dog would be great. 4) having the ability to talk through the collar to the dogs like a walkie-talkie. I think this would be great and I know some other collars do this. It would be an added bonus if they are further out. Having these four added things I think would truly make this a top tier product in the future, but don’t get me wrong, it is an excellent product for basic beginner e-collar training.

Requires practice, but extremely effective and useful. Not the simplest to use but the 3 different controls are very useful. I use pager function to call dog back, nick to stimulate compliance and continuous for situations were the dog or other people are in danger. The hands free button is awesome. Again it takes time to train yourself, like everything in life. My wife has difficulty training herself to become competent with it. The receiver is regularly in salt water and I just rinse both the controller and receiver afterwards. So far, no issues. I've only used it since February 2020. Our 75 lbs dog has very short hair and we had to get some after market contact points that distribute contact to 4 points, which stopped tearing his skin. I think we had to increase the voltage though, with the aftermarket points. Our dog wears the collar about 7 hours per day and the unit holds charge for at least 2 days, charges very fast, about 2 hours. I've never had the unit die on me yet. Update 3/26/2021: Product continues to work despite regular weekly saltwater exposure (rinse with fresh water after). It seems like the battery life is shorter now, but works all day still (9hrs, although dog is obedient now, requires less stim, usually a motion towards the transmitter=compliance).

Works great with my two German Shepherd’s. The collar colors correspond to the button colors which makes it easy to know which button to push if one of the dogs tries to chase deer or misbehaves warranting correction. The vibrate mode seems to get their attention most of the time. Battery life is good. I charge the collars every few days. The battery life in the transmitter is excellent. Seldom do I need to charge it more than once a week. I’ve been very pleased with the collars and highly recommend.
