    • Great for teaching old dogs new tricks
Color: 280X 1-Dog
My Doberman learned how this works, easily. We use the vibration and beep function to warn him whenever he’s crossing a boundary. Appears to be water resistant and battery lasts awhile before needing charging. That last part also depends heavily on how many corrections your dog requires.

As a dog trainer I have used e-collars for about 30 years. I prefer the Dogtra collars over all the others. I recently just purchased the new Dogtra 280X. Dogtra has made alot of upgrades and added new features with this collar. The new 280X E-Collar Receiver is small is size and not bulky like some older models. The E-Collar Strap is the same type with all dogtra collars. This 280X includes a beacon and locate light, making it easy to spot your dog in low-light conditions. In addition, they come with removable contact points for non-stimulation training (dummy box). The Nick/Constant button is a large button in the center of the Remote Transmitter. The Rheostat Dial is still just as easy to use turn up/turn down, and now the dial has a Safety level lock which prevents unintentional level changes. The collar is three-Dog Expandable, and toggles between the three very easily. The collar has a new Boost Function that is nice when you need to increases stimulation intensity for immediate response. This collar does have Audible Tone and XPP (Extreme Performance Pager) Vibration that allows multiple ways to communicate with your dog. I really love that Dogtra added the tone when you are turning the receiver & collar on and off. In the past there has only been the light and sometimes it would be hard to see during sunny time. This collar is still very simple to use even though is has alot more features. Reading through the instructions once is all you need to learn the new features. I was very glad to see that Dogtra upgraded to a USB-C Charging cube for faster and more efficient charging. Included with thsi collar is a Test light, Belt Clip, Lanyard, and Owner’s Manual. I really like everything with this collar and will recommend it to others. I have never been disappointed with Dogtra's product. ... show more

    • Great product
Color: 280X 1-Dog
Got this to replace a cheap off brand collar. The quality is night and day. Haven’t needed to use it at its max range but have used it much further than the cheap one. The quality of the remote is much better and the corrections are very consistent. The adjustment of the of the shock setting is nice. This model has the beep/tone mode. The battery life is decent but you definitely have to stay on top of it. The remote will tell you when it’s getting low. Overall very happy with this over the cheaper option.

I’ve been training dogs for fun and using an e-collar for the last 5 years. From raising Police K9 puppies to high energy cattle dogs. My current e-collar is the Pet Educator 902. When comparing the Dogtra 280x with the PE-902 the collars are pretty much the same. The 280 is a little smaller and I’m guessing because it’s not as powerful as the 902. The real difference is in the remote transmitters. Every system takes time getting used to. So saying which one is easier, well I think depends on the user. Overall the fit, feel and finish of the Dogtra is much nicer. It’s more robust and refined. I tested the 280x first with our cattle dog Mak. It took me about 2-3 minutes to get familiar with the controls. We did a basic 15 obedience training and not once did I find myself fumbling around to use it. Well done Dogtra. Next I tested it on our 95lb Dutch Shepherd at a home protection training class. I was a little worried that the 280x would not be able to provide enough stimulation to get my dog to respond in a high stress and stimulating environment only because the 280x’s collar is a smaller unit than the PE902. The 902 collars are more comparable to the 1900x. I never got above level 40 and again I did not fumble or miss a command even though I had only used the 280x once before for 15min. The last thing I really wanted to test and was light function. With the PE902 you have to go into “Program” mode on the transmitter and go through the settings to turn the light on and off. It’s annoying. Also the light is just a solid light. With the 280x there is a dedicated button and the light is brighter as well as it strobes! The things I don’t like, and this goes for both PE902 and 280x is that the light is too close to the fur and it’s only on one side of the receiver. It would be nice to have a light on both sides or even on the outward facing surface so you can see it better from any angle. Something to think about Dogtra. I don't really use “Tone” or “Vibration”. I was taught to just use the stimulation. That being said the tone is louder with the 280x and the vibration is definitely stronger as well. Both systems are 3 dog systems. If you were to buy only one, that would depend on one factor. If you have more than 1 dog and take them out on walks together I would choose the PE-902. This is because the 902 has dedicated buttons for each dog that are accessible at anytime. With the 280x there is only one set of buttons and you have to use the toggle switch to go between dogs. For me if I need to call my dogs to heel or have them down at any moment I can do that much faster with the 902. That just gives peace of mind if there happens to be an emergency situation on an off leash walk that I can achieve that without even looking at the transmitter. If you have more than 1 dog and never take them out at the same time then I would DEFINITELY choose the Dogtra 280x. Hands down. The overall feel of the transmitter is just better. It’s rugged and feels amazing in the hand. I’m impressed Dogtra, great job. You gained another fan. ... show more

    • Improved Dogtra 280x, perfect 👌
Color: 280X 1-Dog
I have used dogtra 33yrs, successfully. Dogtra 230c malfunctioned after 2 yrs continuous use. Purchased Dogtra 280x yesterday for those moments of wildlife chases, my 9yr old malinois needs minimal corrections otherwise. My malionis is trained, German, English, off leash, 100% recall and hand signals with the assistance of Dogtra 280C. One tap together, remote and collar, comes running immediately, he know he will be going out. This Dogtra 280x unit is a powerful, please check setting starting a extremely low regardless what setting was previously performance level use. 280c setting 52, 280x setting 23. Also, I like is the turn on beep remote, beep turn collar, separately, rather than pairing. This insure both unit are on. Also, light on collar is a bonus. Battery life is phenomenal and long lasting Ok, back to distance off leash, 100% recall ! Thank you, Dogtra ... show more

    • Not worth the money
Color: 280X 1-Dog
The collar is very cheap and flimsy. The contacts keep flipping around. I have a great Pyrenees. The remote does work fine, easy to use. But I've seen brighter locating light and tone from much cheaper models from different a company. I use the tone to locate where the dog is, and I can't hear it, when he's just 50 feet away. I'm disappointed because this model was so expensive. ... show more
