CPAD-011

I've got a 100 lb. shepherd mix with a very dense double-coat. I bought the Educator ET 300 mini a couple of years ago with the ultimate aim of achieving safe off-leash freedom for him wherever that is allowed. I tried all the different contact points that came in the kit and found them all to be hit-or-miss in terms of consistent, reliable contact (and therefore, communication). When the contacts worked, the collar was an amazingly effective tool. But since timing is so critical in communicating and training, the inconsistency, the failures to deliver the signal exactly when needed (or far too often, not at all), significantly undermined the process. I wound up using the "tapping"/pager function of the collar because he could at least feel it every time I hit the button. In low distraction situations and inside games like "hide and seek", the pager got 100% responses. However, there were times, outside, with big distractions, when it just wasn't enough to get his attention. For the longest time, the price of this CPAD contact seemed just too high to be worth it. To get the e-stim function to work reliably, I bought the longest contacts available, tried tightening the collar, experimented with different placements on his neck, etc. But no matter what I tried, contact was always inconsistent. When the signal went through, I get a good response. But more often than not, he didn't feel a thing. It was very frustrating. A couple of weeks ago, I finally "bit the bullet" and ordered this contact pad. It's been absolutely amazing. With his collar significantly looser, he is still getting consistent contact, feeling the communication signal clearly with the dial set as low 4 or 5 (out of 100). This pad has finally turned the Educator Mini into the powerful, humane, effective training tool it was always meant to be. It's worth every penny to be back on track to getting him the freedom he deserves!

Works exactly as described and does what it’s supposed to do. Fit and function were right on, and installation was straightforward. Good quality part and no issues.

We installed this on the ET-300 we have for our male Rottie. We have seen a BIG difference in adding this to his e-collar from utilizing just the basic prongs that came with it. He can tend to be a bit more on the stubborn side, therefore the reasoning for adding this to his ET-300. Does not seem to add much, if any weight to the collar and has worked well in continuing his obedience training at home!

After months of struggling with inconsistent collar contact on my thick-coated GSD, this CPAD-011 comfort pad solved everything instantly. The winged design with gold-plated titanium wings and brass contact points allows a looser neck fit while maintaining deep skin contact, perfect for his sensitive skin and dense double coat. No more hair trimming required for effectiveness this pad is specifically designed for long-haired breeds and eliminates the need to constantly groom around the collar area. The stable collar contact prevents fluctuating output currents, reducing fear and discomfort during training sessions. Installation was foolproof and it stays securely attached. Training consistency improved dramatically within days. My stubborn shepherd finally responds reliably at lower stimulation levels because the contact is so much better. Made in the USA with a one-year warranty and compatible with Mini Educator and EZ 900 series. Worth every penny, this tiny accessory transformed our entire training routine!

I bought these to replace the original contact points on my Educator setup and have used them daily. In my experience, they do improve communication with my dog, but only when the collar fit is dialed in correctly. The biggest pro is compatibility with the Educator system and better overall contact than my stock setup. Once properly fitted, performance is solid. I also like that they’re easy to swap in, so setup is straightforward. The main limitation is consistency. If the strap isn’t snug enough, contact becomes unreliable and I have to readjust. This is not a “set it and forget it” accessory, especially if your dog is active or has thicker coat areas. Compared with a previous brand I used, that one gave more consistent contact, but I still prefer the Educator ecosystem because its stimulation levels/options work better for my small dog. Best for trainers or owners already using Educator who are willing to spend a little time getting fit right. Not ideal for buyers expecting perfect contact without adjustment and make sure you buy the correct type based on your dog fur. Overall: 4 stars from me. Good upgrade, but consistency could be better.

I SHOULD have got one of these a long time ago. It makes such a huge difference in how the device fits on my dogs neck. It allows for better contact & there's no discomfort. A great upgrade that should be sold with the collar/device. Better contact means better training sessions which in turn means I don't have to correct or remind my dogs very often. Mini Educator is a humane training aid. Yorkshire K9 Academy out of the UK has a great training program for reactive dogs. My Belgians have better recall & less concern for other dogs & wildlife.

We use E-Collar technologies for all of our dog training tool needs. This wing really helps with our dogs being comfortable and wearing their training collar for extended periods. We have also found that we can usually loosen the collar slightly and maintain great communication with our pups. By the way their customer service is quite possibly some of the best in the business. I’ve been using their products for 10 years and have never had anything but consistent service and positive reviews.

I have a large dog with a thick fur coat. This is a perfect extender for her collar to actually reach her skin.

Old one snapped and I needed a replacement quickly. It also stops the collar slipping. Does the job and same as the other, works out cheaper here than on the official e-collar website. Comes will all the bits needed to attach it.

excelente é a palavra melhrou 10000% o contato o que me fez reduxior o estimulo para o real de 6 e usava 10 SERVE PERFEITAMENTE NA DOGTRA

With the original tips, it was hard to find the contact point on the neck as well as it had to be of a higher level. With this I feel I can use on a lower stim level and don’t have to worry about the fur “buffering” the stim, as almost 95% of the time it is easily felt upon wearing.
