Another ecollar poll
Another ecollar poll
Here's another question about ecollars.
I have narrowed it down to two collars. The TT field 90 or the TT classic 70. I am used to the preset levels and like knowing what level it is on without looking. I currently have a sport 50 that I got a few years ago to train my lab so I am used to the way the TT's are set up.
I know that you can stimulate a nick with a continuous only collar but was wondering what your experiences are with them. Is there anyone out there that uses the nick function on your collar?
Also both of the collars I mentioned have a tone button. Does anyone use this to train for a recall?

I couldn't do without both and I want a tone on my next collar.
Times I want it on continuously until she complies - especially f0r a young dog doing yard work. and transitioning from the check cord to the collar.
Other times i just want to remind an older dog with a quick nick.
For the well-trained dog I'd like to have a tone to use as a little reminder.
Wasn't until I attended the Rick Smith Foundations Seminar that I really felt competent in using the collar.

Get the collar with the constant stimulation

Depress button quickly you have momentary
hold buttom down you have consistant
really easy to do

I use nick 90% of the time. Only use continuous when he ignores the nick, which doesn't seem to happen often.
Re: Another ecollar poll
wow, I guess both wins it huh? I use both because I train with my e-collar, a lot of people claim to but really dont. I have never had a need and probly never will to use constant stim in the field, EB's are soft when it comes to the collar and it doesnt take a strong shot to get the resaults you want. I use constant stim in the yard, I utilize it to train the pup and let him know that when we get the desired resault, the stimulation stops, within reason of course, there is a lot of debate out there on this training method, but in my experience, it works very well
