I should not have put them in the same sentance
The pager gives you the added option of having the pager vibrate instead of deliver an electical stimulation. Some folks like that feature for other uses.
A two dog model has two collars/recievers and one transmitter. You can toggle back and forth. You are probably not going to be working two dogs at the same time but you may not want to have to keep taking a collar on and off and switching it between two dogs.

What is a nick and a constant stimulation?
I also foster Aussies and I just called and asked if they would mind if I used an e-collar on the fosters when needed to stop fence fighting, and they were ok with it, so I am also going to be looking at the 2 dog models.
I was looking at the Dogtra 200 and 1500 and the 200 seems smaller, which would be good, and it has 1/2" prongs. My boy doesn't seem to need harsh corrections at this time, but I don't know what he would need to stop the fence fighting. Do you really notice the difference in power between the two and are the 1/2" prongs the size I would need for my GSD and an Aussie?

Listen, You don't want to get an ecollar put it on the dog and start zapping when the dog starts fence chasing. There is a lot of foundation work and different schools of thought about how to use them.

I have the barking puppy from hell, are these e-collars the same thing as "bark collars?" Or if you wanted to leave the house, would you have to put on a different collar to stop the barking while you're gone.
My puppy is only 10 weeks old, too young I know, I thought I would have to wait a year, but then I saw this from Ed, "We start puppies as young as 16 to 20 weeks of age with low level training and this work never stops." So I guess I need to start with ordering the video.
Does anyone know if the video covers puppies?
My pups problem is standing outside the back door and screaming, and waking my son up EVERY DAY screaming inside her crate. My dogs have always outgrown this, but I fear this one is different....she is a terrier in every sense of the word.
Not sure how much longer I can take it, I don't want to end up on the evening news....
