I have been doing my own internet research and I was wondering if anyone has any knowledge of the Innotek Ultra Smart Collars. As far as I can tell the only drawback I see to these is that they don't have a nick or continuous option, but rather a boost button which would raise the the level +2 if the dog doesn't respond to the first level.
Does anyone recommend/not recommend these collars. This is for a pet, not working dog. Thannks

Maybe it was just me having a bad luck with this type of collar, but because of malfunction I had to return 3 collars in a year.
The first collar did not work right from the start when I purchased it from Amazon, the other two malfunctioned after few months.
The good thing was that the replacement warranty lasts for one year but the only drawback was that I had to pay $18 fees each time I needed a replacement collar.
Otherwise they work fine and especially I like the beep sound feature which initially let's you know if the contacts are touching skin.
I also have the 2-dog unit Innotek collar and it works great. We did have one that you had to manually change the stim level on the collar every single time-waste of money and time(was lower end money wise)-had to spend about $100 more for the one we have, and like I said, WORKS GREAT!
My Husband and I bought an Innotek, choosing it mainly because of price. It was a mistake as we had to return it one week later. Our trainer did not favour the brand, and we simply found it was very inconsistant and unreliable. Maybe we just got a bad one, I don't know, but we were not very happy with it. We exchanged it for A DTSystems one from Bass Pro which has been working much more effectively.

I have an Innotek that has the "jump +2" feature as well and I would prefer to jump more than +2 when I need it. I find that to get a happy medium the stim is too high for low level correction requirements and the opposite for high level requirements. I also find that sometiems the dog is not get stimulated (but maybe stim is too low in those cases -- if so refer to comment above ).
My dog is essentially a pet dog as well but she is very hard. If I had my chance to do it again I would find a collar that can be adjusted to various levels with the remote. However, I think if she were fairly soft then the 2 level boost would be sufficient.
So is not having the 'nick button' a drawback?
I am assuming that you would just tap the stim button to produce the nick? consistency might be an issue with this model.
I am interested in the iut-300 because I have a 15lb dog with a collapsed trachea.

Hi John,
I'm guessing some people would consider it a drawback.
It does have a "Tone" feature, which I've read people using as praise or as a warning that a stim will follow. I use it as a warning and usually that's all that's needed. When I do need to use the stim, 2 usually does the trick.
It's light-weight and smaller than other models, which I like. I did have an issue with transmitter's stim button tearing. Innotek gave me a new one.
I've been happy overall with the IUT-300's performance, but I don't have a hard dog.
