Orange Educator Additional Receiver and Collar - Extra Dog Receiver

In this review the Orange Educator Additional Remote Receiver and Training Collar is evaluated for owners who already have an Educator transmitter and need to add or replace a receiver. The bottom line: it is a rugged, compact receiver and a Biothane strap that makes adding a second dog straightforward, and the single biggest reason to buy is compatibility with a long list of Educator transmitter models that lets users expand a 1-dog system to 2 dogs without replacing the main unit.

Key Features

• Compact receiver: The PE-090 RX measures 2 in x 1.5 in x 1 in, keeping the unit small and unobtrusive on most dogs while housing the electronics in a rugged case.
• Wide compatibility: Works with many Educator transmitters including ET-300/302, ET-400/402, PE-900 series, EZ-900 series, ET-800 series and UL1200 series for easy system expansion.
• Durable collar material: The 3/4 in x 30 in Biothane strap is waterproof, odor proof and will not fray, which makes it suitable for active outdoor dogs and easy to clean.
• Fit for small to medium dogs: Designed for dogs 10 lb and up with neck sizes from 5 in to 22.5 in, so it fits a wide range of companions without extra purchases.
• Contact point options: Includes two sets of contact points for short and long hair, allowing a better fit for different coat types and easier initial setup.
• Warranty and support: Registered products have a two-year warranty against manufacturer defects and access to US phone support for troubleshooting.

Who It's For

This receiver and collar is best for dog owners who already own an Educator transmitter and want to add a second dog or replace a lost or damaged receiver without changing their existing system. Trainers who need a rugged, compact unit for obedience work outdoors will appreciate the Biothane strap and the list of compatible transmitter models.

Those who should look elsewhere include owners of very small toy breeds under 10 lb or dogs with necks smaller than 5 in, and buyers who need advanced features not listed here, since the product is presented as an additional receiver and collar rather than a full standalone transmitter with extra modes.
