Match your E-Collar Technologies transmitter to the right leather holster: ET-300 Mini, ET-400, 400/800 series, or 900 series. Fit rules and belt-carry tradeoffs inside.
Quick answer
Buy the holster named for your transmitter, not the one that looks closest. The ET-300 Mini, ET-400, 400/800 series, and 900 series each have a dedicated E-Collar Technologies leather holster, and the model-specific fit is what keeps the unit secure on your belt.
Why transmitter size decides the holster
E-Collar Technologies builds transmitters in different body sizes across the ET-300 Mini, ET-400, 400/800 series, and 900 series. A leather holster is cut to a specific body, so a case that fits one model can be loose, tight, or block the buttons on another. The catalog lists separate holsters for each family for that reason.
The practical consequence: a holster that is merely close can let the transmitter shift while you walk, and a tight one can make the unit hard to draw when you need to correct your dog quickly. Treat the model name on the holster as the primary specification.
Belt carry versus pocket or lanyard carry
All four holsters here use a belt clip for hands-free carry, which keeps the transmitter at waist level and leaves both hands for leash, treats, or whistle. That is an advantage on a training field or trail where you are moving and gesturing.
The tradeoff is that a belt holster is exposed. If you crawl through brush, lean against equipment, or work in tight spaces, the transmitter can catch on branches or edges. A pocket or lanyard keeps the unit closer to your body but is slower to reach. Decide which matters more before you buy.
Leather care and everyday durability
Genuine leather holds its shape and resists the daily abrasion of belt carry better than thin fabric, but it is not maintenance-free. Wet grass, mud, and repeated flexing at the belt clip are the main wear points. Wipe the holster dry after wet sessions and let it air-dry away from direct heat; do not machine wash it.
If you train in heavy rain or saltwater environments regularly, leather will need more attention than a synthetic pouch. For most owners, the leather holster is a long-wearing accessory, not a disposable one.
Decision rules for choosing your holster
- You own an ET-300 Mini: Choose the Leather Holster for ET-300 Mini. Do not size up to a 400 or 800 holster to gain extra room; the Mini will move inside it. Check the transmitter model printed on the unit before ordering.
- You own an ET-400 only: Choose the Leather Holster for ET-400 for the closest fit. If you also own a K9-800, step up to the 400/800 series holster instead.
- You own a 400 or 800 series transmitter: Choose the Leather Police Holster for 400/800 Series, which is built for large-sized transmitters including the ET-400 and K9-800. One holster can cover both a 400 and an 800 if you switch between them.
- You own a PE-900 Pro: Choose the Leather Holster for 900 Series. It is custom-designed for the PE-900 Pro, so do not substitute a 400/800 holster.
- You are unsure which transmitter you have: Look at the model number on the back of the transmitter or the original box before ordering. The holster names match the transmitter families, not the collar receiver. If the model is not marked, contact the seller with a photo rather than guessing.
Product facts
- E-Collar Technologies Leather Police Holster for 400 800 Series: Fits large-sized transmitters including the ET-400 and K9-800 models. This is the choice when you own a larger 400 or 800 series transmitter and want one holster that covers both.
E-Collar Technologies Leather Police Holster for 400 800 Series - E-Collar Technologies Leather Holster for ET-400: Designed specifically for the ET-400. If you only run an ET-400, the dedicated cut gives a closer fit than a universal case.
E-Collar Technologies Leather Holster for ET-400 - E-Collar Technologies Leather Holster for 900 Series: Custom-designed to fit the PE-900 Pro. 900 series owners should start here rather than trying to adapt a 400/800 holster.
- E-Collar Technologies Leather Holster for ET-300 Mini: Designed specifically for the ET-300 Mini. The Mini's smaller body needs its own holster; a full-size case will let it shift.
Who these holsters are for
Best for
- Owners who want hands-free belt carry of an E-Collar Technologies transmitter during training or outdoor work
- Trainers who switch between an ET-400 and a K9-800 and want one holster for both
- Owners of the ET-300 Mini or PE-900 Pro who want a model-specific leather fit
Not for
