I purchased the Educator ET500 & now I wonder if it's appropriate for my dog. He's an 80 pound German Shepherd.

Full Question:
Hi Cindy,

I purchased an Educator ET-500 collar based on your Youtube video, on Black Friday. Shortly after making the purchase, I saw on Educator's website, that the ET-500 is for small to medium dogs. This wasn't mentioned on the video, and on the training gear page it only says 15 lbs and up. I thought maybe this was a question for a trainer who may use the product. My male 9 month old GSD is a lean 80 lbs or so, and my question is whether or not this collar is appropriate for him. I look forward to hearing from you.

Cindy Cindy's Answer:
The ET 500 is absolutely appropriate for your dog. The mention of small/medium dogs has no bearing on the suitability for bigger dogs (it is more about the size of the receiver the dog wears).
