Those of you who have experience with e-collars may be able to tell the difference between brands and models.
It would be the first e-collar I'd ever use. Would use it for SchH. My main concern is the recall. My Dobermann bitch has a lot of drive and loves to work, but she has learned to give me the finger when she doesn't want to come. She's very smart and knows when she's on long line. Then the recall is very fast.
Is Innotek easier to use? Is there that much of a difference between brands? I would prefer no to spend too much, but I wouldn't want to buy a P.O.S. and just waste money.
I recently purchased an ecollar for mainly the same reason - the recall. There is nothing more frustrating than a dog that won't come when called.
I did a lot of research and talked to a lot of different people before buying one. In the end I went with the Dogtra 1200NC and I love it! It's very easy to use and the results have been amazing. Just be sure you read up on how to use it properly before starting. I've heard it's very easy to screw your dog up if you're not using it correctly.
I am really happy with the Dogtra 1200NCP. Ed sells 'em. The cool thing about the NCP is that it has a silent "pager" button which vibrates the receiver. Personally, I trained my dog to recall with the pager. Does this have any application to SchH, not really. But, it is a nice feature around the house and yard so I am not always calling his name. There are probably other things you can do with the pager as well. Overall, I think the dogtra is the best collar on the market, wuality wise. I also have an innotek and well ...., let's jsut say not as good. Some folks think that the rheostat stimulus knob is easier to use. I happen to differ a bit. I kind of like the three or four button remote, but then again, it doesn't have the "fine tuning" capability of the Dogtra.

I agree ,I like the dogtra. I like how easy it is to change the settings as opposed to the Innotec. The hand held portion is not as small as the Innotec but it is fairly small and it is smaller than the Tri Tronics.
Stop making excuses for your dog and start training it!
I prefer tri tronics myself. I had some bad experiences in the past with innoteck, with the frequencies crossing (especially when you are in a group situation with other people using the collar). Also, with innoteck, the levels are not always the same. You can pick up a 400A and level 2 will feel like level 4 on a 200A. The tri tronics are a little bulkier, but the newer models have come down in size. best of luck...
I have the Dogtra and I think it's great. It does everything I want it too and you don't have to worry about buying batteries for it, it's rechargable.
Prior to going GSD I took two Lab's to six titles in hunting, all with tritronics I own three of them. They have been in water, salt and fresh, been droped from bridges, cooked on my dash board, you name it. No leeks a few dents. but they still work fine and still recharge. Ive had them for 9 years now.
