Overview

["The EZ-900 is recommended for all breeds and comes with a waterproof collar receiver and a waterproof floating remote, along with two sets of contact points and a removal tool for switching between them. The kit also includes a dual battery charger, an owner's manual with training tips, a lanyard for the remote, and a PetsTEK training clicker.", 'Per the listing, it offers a half mile range with 256 blunt stimulation levels, tone or vibration modes, and night tracking light, giving it more granular control than the standard 100-level models in this lineup. The collar strap is biothane, a material chosen for durability in wet or muddy conditions.', 'At $229.99, the EZ-900 costs more than several other Educator models here, and with 512 reviews at a 4.3 star average and about 100 units bought last month, it has a smaller but still positive track record among buyers looking for extra precision.']

Performance notes

The floating remote design means it's built to stay afloat if dropped near water, a useful detail for training around lakes or wet terrain. Two sets of contact points with a removal tool let you match the fit to your dog's coat length, and the included dual battery charger keeps both the collar and remote ready between sessions.

What buyers say

With 512 reviews at a 4.3 star average and roughly 100 units bought last month, the EZ-900 has a smaller and more modest buyer base than the higher-volume ET-300 models, consistent with its position as a step-up, higher-priced option.

Frequently asked questions

What does the floating remote feature mean?

The remote is described as waterproof and floating, which is meant to help if it's dropped near water so it doesn't sink. It's a practical detail for anyone training near lakes, ponds, or wet ground.

What accessories come with the EZ-900?

The kit includes a dual battery charger, a contact point removal tool, a lanyard for the remote, an owner's manual with training tips, and a PetsTEK training clicker. That's a fuller accessory set than some of the more basic collars in this category.

How does 256 stimulation levels compare to other models?

It's more than double the 100 levels found on the standard ET-300 models in this lineup, giving finer control over correction intensity. Whether that extra granularity matters depends on how precisely you want to adjust training sessions.
