 Hello everybody and welcome back to the coolest dog training channel on YouTube. I'm Tom Davis, America's canine educator today We're going to be doing an unboxing. By the way, this is the first unboxing I've ever done on my channel I just thought it would be interesting to do an unboxing of the dog cheer IQ mini Mainly because this is a model. I've never used before I hear really great things about this IQ mini. So I wanted to do an unboxing to give you guys What this collar has to offer all the different settings on it and explain to you what they mean and what they don't mean So I'm excited to do this with you guys Oh, and if you haven't yet, don't forget to like this video Subscribe to my channel and don't forget we're giving away no bad dog merch All you have to do is leave a comment in the comments below within three hours of this video being posted All right So first impression is is doctor just came out with this new boxing Within the last year or so. It's the yellow and black which is nice Definitely a smaller box comparable to all of the other boxes make sense because it's one of their smaller models If not the smallest so I'm gonna open up the little tab on the bottom here that is sealed there and then Open her up So we got here this Attached the charger It's a little card to show you how to charge this model because this model is charged differently Which I'm not familiar with but that's why we're doing this fun and boxing owner's manual pretty typical for Dogtras remote collars. So this is a very long booklet Up to 31 pages of do's and don'ts and stuff like that But that's kind of boring because I'm gonna walk it through it now anyway. So here is the Charger So the good thing about this is I call this the breakaway charger, which basically means that it breaks away if it's pulled on I'm sure that there's other reasons for this charger to do this but I like it because if it gets snagged on the counter I put all of my Collars on my my counter and my in my house. And so if it gets snagged on something which happens all the time It doesn't rip this out and ruin your charger. So that's what I call the breakaway charger and then Talking about the charger you have one unit that will I would assume go into yep This the the actual handheld device that you hold which would be the remote setting Or the remote sorry and that would charge into there and then this will charge into there I'm gonna go over that in a minute. This is a little different for me So we're gonna just go piece by piece as far as equipment goes. So there's the charger Here's the actual Collar which is very small Actually, that's surprisingly small. I dig that because we do have a lot of a lot of dogs that we work with with the remote that have extremely small necks extremely small bodies and Really when we're doing remote collar training, we want the remote to or the collar to just be a part of our everyday process We don't want it to be this big bulky thing that your dog is uncomfortable with So this is really really nice and as you guys can see probably on the front of the box you have like a little a Little dog on the front. So and then a little min pin on the back. It's probably this one of the same dogs But pretty cool nonetheless So on the back of the box, which I'm gonna I'm gonna read off to you guys really quick would be the 400 yard range 7 pound dog as small as a 7 pound dog It's 1.3 ounces petite receiver very small plastic contacts So it says plastic contacts here, which would be different from their normal contact points would be in metal It's got a nick and constant It's got a nick and consistent stimulation and a vibrating pager which is nice and you can use two dogs on this So the features are as red So that's so that's pretty cool. It's got a lot of different things one thing I didn't know about this collar is it has Plastic points and it's two dogs I would assume because this dog is this unit is so small it wouldn't have been a two dog unit and it actually is so that's very Very important. That's pretty cool So the actual remote is also very small It's smaller than any other remote. I've I've had before and let's see. It's got the antenna here So this is much like an old-school Cell antenna that just goes up and gives reception to your actual collar It has a nick a continuous and a pager setting Which I'll explain those in a minute and then it's got a dial So unlike a lot of the other dog tree units, it doesn't have a digital dial It has a dial which I'll show you guys in a second a little bit more close up This thing is tiny. I mean, it's it's smaller than my I mean you could smaller than my cell phone very small I'm sure so good thing about the dog trees is they always have the serial numbers right in the back It's really important for us because we have a bunch of units all over the place And so having the numbers match up with the actual collar So you'll notice that they both match up obviously So this is good for reference to make sure you have the right collar. I really like that And again going back to the dial function here. It's really easy I think the biggest thing about dog chair one of the biggest things about dog chair that sets themselves Far from any other e-collar that I've used is the capability of just using your dial or using your numbers really quickly And being able to access them really quickly in a pinch If you need it in emergency, that's really important. So just the way that you hold it and your thumb being right here I really really like that. Then of course, then of course you got your lanyard, which is really nice That's standard on all dog to collars I use this sometimes, but I always suggest to people that when they're training just not having it around your neck But when you're transport when you're getting in your car and you're going from A to B It's really really nice to have your lanyard Let's see if we have anything else in the box nothing else in the box completely empty So I'm gonna go through the functionalities and what they mean and show you guys how to turn this on and off and all that fun Stuff so so first thing I want to do before we get into the functionality is just going over charging charging ports So you have your mail adapter here your mail piece here, and there's a little flat here that you just undo and Then you'll stick your your charger right into the unit and then you'll plug it in now this side I'm not too familiar with so you have to bear with me. This is the fun of the unboxing part I guess like doing doing all sorts of stuff here. So It would help to look at the instructions, but I just learned by Doing this sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't and boom we're in baby So so that's the other good thing about reading instructions is it tells you right here what to do So on this little charging port here, and that's that's one thing dog Sure does not skimp out on is is detail fine detail It says right here in text right on the charging point LED side first Well, I didn't do that first, but I'm gonna do it first now So we're gonna go up with the LED side and then boom clip it in and it just clips in like that Now when you plug your unit in typically it'll just go red to let you know that it's charging And it does need a charge you can use this right out of the rip I would assume I'm gonna turn it on a minute to see if it has any juice But normally you just charge it for a little bit and then the lights will turn green to let you know that it's fully charged on Most dog tree units So I'm gonna unplug these and take these cool charging ports off and then I'm going to turn this on Which again Not familiar with oh, so I just figured this out So there's a little sliding thing here And if you slide it on one it means that there's one that's the first dog and then you simply Click it over for the second dog, which is really nice Because when you get into the bigger units they give you A button for each dog which gets for like somebody like myself who drinks way too much coffee is all over the place Being able to just slide it over to dog too is actually a really really nice feature So let's figure out how to turn this on. Okay. I'm hitting a button So it's on we're ready to roll So the other great thing about the dog tree technology is being able to sync them by their little red syncing dots I'm sure that there's another term for it, but red syncing dot sounds good So as you can see You guys can see this light Beeping on So what I'm going to do is I'm just going to take this and there's a little red dot on here And there's a little red dot On here and you sync them together And then this will this will go green to let you know that it's successfully synced I always like to Use the collar first before I put it on the dog That's something really big because sometimes if you don't do it quick enough Or if you do it if you do it too fast or if you don't hold it there long enough It may turn on green really quick and then shut off because you didn't hold it there long enough So I always will test the collar to make sure that it's actually on so then what I'm going to do is I'm just I always like to test the the numbers on the on the on the Remote just to see where they're at So very very very very low Numbers here, so I'm at a What it looks to be What it looks to be like a 45? Um, so I know on the dog 280c for an example We usually condition dogs on levels between three and eight out of 130 levels This collar has 100 levels So it's got a little bit less levels than Some of the other units, but it is a smaller unit and I can tell you that I normally will feel a I can tell you that I I can normally feel like on a dog 280c I normally feel it around a 20 and this is very similar like right now i'm doing a um Like right there is a Like 40 or no, I'm sorry 25 ish between 20 and 40 um So that and I always like to just put it right on my wrist because that's where we're the most sensitive You can't put it on well you can but put it on this side of your wrist and put it on your hand Is it doesn't really work that well put on a really sensitive part of your body like your neck or your wrist The wrist is just easier to get to so anyway, um That's on now to turn it off. I'm assuming you just hold this Button down here on the remote and nope that doesn't work So we're going to look at the instructions for that, but I know to turn this off all you have to do Is sink them again And then that'll go red And it's not off because I didn't hold it so watch what I do here So I sink it here Turns red hold it hit the button again It's off so remote. I don't know how to maybe you can't shut it off. I'm not sure Let's look So I just read in the handy dandy Little iq mini instructions that the actual remote does not turn off It activates as soon as you hit a button, which that is pretty nice. So you don't forget You can't really mess that up and then to turn this on. I just showed you so that's that's cool Um, and then again every doctor has the led lights to clearly tell you whether it's on or it's off So I'll show you guys a cool function on this too is when you do turn this back on it'll go green And then if you actually just sit there it'll blink Green So when it's on a dog and you want to know if it's on you just watch the dog for a second And it'll blink every maybe 15 seconds. So that's really nice There's also going to be indicator lights on most dog tree units. I'm not sure about this unit But uh, the the dog tree unit should should yeah, it does if you're not familiar with dog training I have many many lessons on the e-collars on how to introduce it properly I can link it above. Um, and and all you have to do for the nick is simply just tap the nick so here's nick continuous And pager So those are the three options. So when you hit nick you'll notice that the green light will come on And then the continuous is exactly how it sounds. So all you're going to do is hold this button down And then as soon as you release your finger the continuous will actually shut off So that's the nick and the continuous and then the pager Um is exactly how it sounds. So when you hit the pager button All it does is it just sends off a little vibrating tone to the dog Now, uh, much like cooking and chefs, this is the pot in the pan Now you can give this to many different cooks many different chefs and they can do whatever they want with it Some some people do it right. Some people do it wrong. It really it really that's not why I'm here I'm here today to just show you the functionalities of these collars But the pager is something that you can do depending on how you train your dog to get your dog's attention You could train them page twice boom boom the dog turns left page once boom the dog turns right hold down pager Etc. I use the pager on some of the other bigger models for a lot of behavior modification cases When you don't want to physically correct the dog because it could get them to redirect on you You simply just use the pager to snap them out of the bad behavior that you don't want them in So that's essentially but again, you guys can apply these different things however you want. I got many videos on that So overall, um iq mini is is is actually a really cool model I'm I'm surprised on how small it is and and the quality of the dog chair Like when you feel this this receiver and this actual collar that goes on a dog You can just tell the quality that's put into here. It's not hollowed out It's got a bunch of bunch of different things in here to make sure that it's receiving to the dog properly um And so I I'm I'm thoroughly impressed with with the size and the capabilities of this little iq mini So that's it for today guys. Thank you so much for watching me unbox the iq mini made by dog If you guys are interested in some of the dog chair stuff, I'll just link their website down below You can check out all their gear.
