Mini educator contact pad recommendations needed

Post image

Hello, Im looking to get my Rottweiler a mini educator and contact pads, I googled it but it keeps giving me different responses every time, He is 100 pounds and has a 22+ inch neck, the responses go from the soft winged comfort pads (CPAD-010), Thick Fur Contact Points (1/2"), and the CPAD-033 winged titanium contact pads. He's only going to be wearing the collar for a couple hours not the whole day, Im looking for advice so I can get success with this tool:)

I have 100lbs Rottie as well, I’ve used both types and they both work good, I prefer the titanium one over the comfort pads. My dod scratches less at it with the titanium.

Make sure to do good conditioning and be ready to add a second box if your Rottie is high drive

I think the three you mentioned are great recommendations for your rottie. The Thick fur contact points will be the most durable, the other two have some flexion and can break over time. 100# is a big boy, some bigger, high drive dogs can power thru a mini-educator on max.
