Educator CPAD-011 Winged Brass Contact Pads for Dog Training Collar Receivers – Fits RX-090, RX-120 & RX-1000 – For Long or Thick Coat Dogs – Not Compatible with RX-070 or ME-300

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!

Great replacements. Easy to install. Works very well!

Bought this product for my dogs e- collar. It fits perfectly & does the job that regular e-collar probes don’t get the coverage.

Reccomended by dog traininer. Works well. Doesn't leave and indents or marks

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.

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!

Durability is excellent, second one I've bought and never had any issues with it structurally.

This is amazing! I had to replace the original one that came with my dogs collar because it somehow broke and the warranty does not cover it. This fit perfectly and I have not had a single problem with it so far.
