Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone has any experience and could help me in gaining some further understanding about this specific models stimulation levels.

I have been using the vibrate setting for recall purposes with my hound. Now I know vibrate is generally more aversive but my girl does not mind it at all and I also feel like she is becoming more conditioned to it to the point where she's starting to blow it off a little. This has sparked me to think about switching over to stim to solidify it further and possibly use it for other things she already is solid with ie. heel.

With that being said the stim on this collar almost doesn't make sense to me. I put it on myself because it seems like when I am trying to find her working level she doesn't feel it/gives no reaction and then all of a sudden it's too much. I put it on myself and I can attest the same, I turn up the dial slowly and I don't feel anything, then I get close to 20ish and I start feeling something very small, then turn it up slightly more and boom it's suddenly a lot.

Unfortunately if I can't figure this out leash life it is. Although I would rather not do that to her because she does love her freedom and generally does very well, however her prey drive is too high for me to take the risk of her deciding to blow me off.

Regardless I do want to get a different collar eventually so if anyone has any recommendations with better increments thank you for dropping them.
