ME-300 MICRO EDUCATOR® REMOTE E-COLLAR
We have found that one of the best collars for very small dogs is the ME-300 Micro Educator. This remote e-collar pairs the same popular transmitter, the ET-300 Mini {LINK TO ARTICLE ABOUT ET-302), with the all new RX-070 Micro Receiver for small dogs. The collar itself consists of nylon and stainless steel buckles for leash attachments that you can adjust for your dog's comfort. The RX-070 is an all around smaller version of the RX-090 Mini Educator Receiver at approximately 20% smaller, 20% lighter and 20% less stimulation.
The Educator ME-300 Micro is actually the smallest dog training collar on the market. Weighing in at only 1.8 ounces, this Micro Educator collar is light and gentle enough for even the smallest dog with sensitive temperaments. Featuring a more gentle vibration and tone-only modes and one hundred levels of medical grade static stimulation allows you to fine-tune the collar's stimulation settings to your dog's exact needs, personality, and behavior.
The collar's lock & set feature, as found in other Educator e-collar models, allows you to save that setting directly into the remote. For even more small dog considerations, the contact points are approximately 20% closer to one another. With closer together contact points, its small, lightweight design, and more gentle stimulation, the ME-300 Micro Educator is perfect for small dogs.
The Educator ME-300 Micro also comes with its signature stopwatch-style handheld transmitter, ergonomically designed with buttons right at your fingertips so that you'll never have to take your eyes off your dog during off-leash training. Both the receiver collar and transmitter have low battery indicators and a two-hour quick charge setting in case you need to quickly charge the device.
The waterproof design and durability on this remote training e-collar ensures that your collar will continue to work even if submerged underwater. You won't have to worry about wet or rainy weather, as the collar and the remote are made from high quality, durable nylon and other materials and hardware that are waterproof! Both the remote and the receivers also have rechargeable batteries.
As a safety feature, the powerful remote-controlled night tracking light on the receiver collar keeps your dog safe and visible at night. The collar can also be turned 90 degrees on the strap for a "fore and aft" contact point position, rather than having the contact points going around the neck, which is ideal for some small dog breeds.

How to Choose a Collar for Your Small Dog
Your local pet shop and online pet stores are chock-full of fun and fancy of the best dog collars and leashes, but not all of them are suitable for small or XS dogs. There are dog harnesses, martingale collars, prong collars, choke collars, and a whole bunch of other options, making it even harder to make a decision. Choosing the correct collar and leash (or harness and leash) for your dog can lead to safer, more enjoyable outings for dogs and their owners. Selecting a collar for any pet can be a challenge, but small dogs can be very particular when it comes to the right collar for their needs. A conventional collar and leash could hurt small dogs while they are out walking if they start pulling. The younger the dog, the even greater the risk because young dogs and puppies are usually more nervous and therefore more likely to pull hard and hurt themselves.
Picking the proper collar for a small dog breed requires researching the correct material, size, collar width, and other factors that can help protect the structure of a small-bodied dog and ensure your dog's comfort. One example is a harness that can keep certain high pressures from straining parts of the dog's necks or torso so that the dog can be controlled without causing damage. Another is the use of an e-collar to ensure consistent communication and behavior reinforcement with your dog.
How to Choose a Size for Your Small Dog's Collar
It is important to find a collar that does not slip over the head of your dog, but that will also cause a comfortable restraint should the dog pull, tug, or become frightened in some way. One of the best ways to find the right size for your dog is to measure your dog yourself. First, to get an accurate neck size, you will need to measure the size of its neck. Have your dog sit before you and use a soft tape measure to measure around the neck where a collar comfortably sits. Stick one or two fingers between the dog's neck and measuring tape to ensure there is enough space to be comfortable and record that measurement.
Not only is the length and size of a collar important, but choosing the right collar width for your small dog is also crucial. Small dogs tend to have smaller necks. The ratio of the collar's length to the width of the collar is one element to consider as you don't want to put a very thick, short collar on a dog in the same way that you don't want a very long, thin collar that puts high pressure on the dog's neck.
Generally speaking, smaller dogs need collars that are narrower in size. Many collars are sold as narrow as 5/8" wide, a size that works great for tiny dogs like Chihuahuas or Greyhounds. Compare this narrow width to large dogs like Mastiffs which may need collars as wide as two inches.
If a dog is no more than fifteen pounds, his or her neck is likely 8" to 14" in circumference and therefore collar widths between 5/8" and one inch are the most ideal. Although a dog may be very tiny, his or her personality may go best with a collar closer to one inch to help distribute the tugging and pulling while on a leash.
Why It's Important to Choose a Properly Fitting Collar
It may not seem like such a big deal to find a collar as long as the collar stays on the dog and doesn't slip off. However, the science behind how improper collar sizes and widths can affect different dogs depending on their personalities and body structure is substantial. When training especially, owners should take exceptional care to protect their dogs' bodies while walking them.
Dogs that are untrained, disobedient, or easily frightened have the tendency to pull on the leash that is connected to their collar. The collar needs to be fit and shaped to cause the least strain on the neck or else the dog experiences a choking sensation on his or her throat. The excess pressure impacts the muscles as well as nerves and the airway system, which creates a risk of injury if an improperly sized collar is used. Finding the right size, material, and style for your dog's personality can prevent injuries from happening.
Take the Time and Do the Work to Find the Right Dog Collar for Your Small Dog
Overall, it is important to make sure you don't rush the decision to find a new collar for your small dog. You no longer need to dress your small dog in a collar for cats because so many great, quality products are now made just for small dogs! Always make sure to get an accurate measurement to size the right collar, review the quality and materials used, and pick both the colour and style that best suits your pup's personality. Taking the time to do this careful process will make both you and your doggie happy.
Collars may play a greater role in a dog's comfort and behavior than dog owners tend to think. Some research studies have found a correlation between a dog's excitability and aggression and the way they interact with their owners. Because dogs who pull and behave unpredictably experience the most behavior correction (especially when their leashes and collars are difficult to use to control them) the owners may be more demanding and frustrated towards their dog on a daily basis, and understandably so. With the correct collar, controlling the dog becomes easier and therefore the relationship between the owner and the dog also becomes less strained.
What Detractors Say About E-Collars
Opponents of e-collars claim that the usage of e-collar stimulation is likely to create more problems than they solve. They claim these collars are dangerous due to the pressure they apply on a dog’s trachea, neck, and spine. Opponents of e-collar usage also claim that the pain of the collar's stimulation adds unnecessary and unwanted pain, which in turn causes your dog to act out and misbehave. The Educator ME-300 Micro does not use pressure but vibration and tapping sensations to provide stimulation. Dogs properly trained with Educator collars typically never vocalize discomfort, jerk their heads or experience the fear of the training collar commonly found with imported shock collars.
Opponents argue that using an e-collar on a dog that pulls often leads to reactivity like barking and lunging at other dogs and people because the dog is unsure of the cause of the stimulation. If you follow our instructions above and ensure you use a solid collar conditioning regimen, you'll avoid this confusion on your dog's part entirely. Also, any reputable e-collar provider (like us!) will recommend you consult a professional dog trainer before even considering an e-collar purchase, and definitely again after buying one.
How to Properly Use an E-Collar: Collar Conditioning
E-collars are a wonderful tool for large and small dogs alike. When it comes to a simple and speedy training solution, nothing could be better. To guarantee the proper and successful usage of an e-training collar, you need to make sure to establish a consistent and effective collar conditioning program. Collar conditioning starts by first showing the dog what it is you want it to do, and then reinforcing the command with the collar.
Before you ever begin to train your dog with a collar, you must take the steps to ensure your dog is collar-conditioned. This is to avoid your dog's potential confusion when being corrected with the e-collar. If you train your dog why they are receiving stimulation that annoys them from the collar, it will better train them how to associate that annoyance with the bad behavior and stop doing it. Collar-conditioning helps prevent your dog's confusion and stress.
Here is an easy way to collar-condition a dog.
1) Show the dog what it is you want it to do. The "crate" or "place" command is a good way to start, by showing the dog what the command means by leading it into the crate or place and repeating the command. Do this with the e-collar on the dog, but turn it off, so it is not applying any stimulation.
2) When the dog shows it is starting to understand, turn on the collar to the lowest setting.
3) Next, turn on the stimulation first, followed by the command. Turn the stimulation off when the dog goes into the crate or place. If the dog doesn’t follow the command, put him in the crate or place with the stimulation on, then turn it off. Always turn it off immediately after the dog completes the desired behavior.
4) When the dog grasps the command with stimulation, move on to the next stage. This could take a week or two later depending on your dog and the consistency of your training. Now give the command first, followed by the stimulation. When your does the correct behavior, turn the stimulation off immediately. Several days of this are usually enough to yield regular and successful results.
5) Next, give the command, then apply stimulation only if the dog doesn’t listen to your command.
6) Finally, generalize the command. Move the crate or place to different parts of your yard or home. Get your dog used to listening to and following the command in different locations.
It is important not to rush the process. Collar-conditioning is the foundation for all future collar use. When a dog is successfully collar-conditioned, they'll get the message you’re trying to get across when you apply stimulation or vibration, assuming it’s well-timed. The conditioning process stays the same when you continue to teach the next two or three commands. When you teach your dog to sit, first show them what “sit” means, then take them through the three stages of stimulation, finishing by generalizing the command. Go through the same steps with “here” and other basic commands.
Later, when the dog is thoroughly trained in collar corrections, you won’t have to follow all six steps when teaching a new command. Many people can do a solid job training their dogs in their yard but fail miserably to control their dogs anywhere else. This is almost always due to intense excitement on the dog’s part, which leads to ignored commands and bolting. When the trainer also gets excited, it leads to mistimed corrections or no corrections at all. While you can’t do much about the dog’s excitement, but there’s plenty you can do about yours.
Collar conditioning is as simple as that. Collar-condition your dog first, then, when training later, issue commands they understand followed immediately by a correction if they disobey.
The Bottom Line
Using the appropriate training collar, harness, or leash can help you and your dog reach your goals for walking calmly on a leash. Each of these options, however, is simply a method of communication, not a form of control. You are using the collar to keep them in the loop and let them know what is going on in your head. The ME-300 Micro Educator e-collar is a great tool to use to communicate with your dog and teach them correct behavior!
Proper training is the most effective, long-lasting way to prevent unwanted behaviors. If you need support or tips about how to best train your puppy or dog to walk on your leash, reach out to us at the Collar Club, and we'll help you accomplish your goals!
