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.

This is my second Dogtra collar and I love it. This one is an upgrade but my other is still working great. I love that the 280x has a long range. The light is great for using in the dark if you need to see the dog's location. The stimulation is nice and strong (non-shock) and sometimes works better than the estim. setting. I love that I can lock the stim. setting so I don't accidently get it too high or too low and it not work. Having the boost is a good way to get her attention when she isn't listening to the normal setting I have set. The units stay charged for a few days and even have a red light tell you when to charge the units (the hand unit has a battery gage as well).

As a professional dog trainer, I got the 2 dog 280x. Connecting with my old 280c was a breeze although there is not much information on how to do it. As part of Dogtra’s popular lineup, the 280X model is a step up in terms of functionality, durability, and ease of use, making it an excellent choice for both novice pet owners and professional trainers.Pros:- Stimulation knob is WAY more accurate- 3 dogs on one remote- Not sure about battery size, but it felt like the unit lasts longerCons:- I did not like the system to switch between dogs. It is small for my big hands.- The 280c remote felt more ergonomic than this remote.- Side buttons are a bit small compared to 280cI have been loving having multiple dogs in one remote. I also switched out the traditional plastic buckle strap out for a bungee since I prefer the ease of putting it on and taking it off which I HIGHLY recommend (this unit needs a 3/4" strap). I do wish that the buttons on the side were more the size of the 280c. I also wish that the middle button was NOT the stim button.Overall, I think this is one of the most solid e-collars on the market and well worth the price. I have been a long time Dogtra user and will continue to be. An extremely well made e-collar by Dogtra, and I can confidently say: it's their best one yet.

I’m very familiar with the Dogtra Arc, the E Collar Tech Educator, and the Pro Educator. The 280x is like a mix of all of these with ease of use. I really like the collar and am giving it 5 stars because it is absolutely everything I expected and wanted. A couple things people may view as drawbacks would be that the light on the receiver does not stay on which would be nice in the dark and the transmitter (remote) is slightly large in the hand. Overall though, I love the functionality of the collar and will be recommending it to my dog training clients and to my friends as a great option.

I literally tried every collar I could to train my dog not to pull while walking. It did not take long for her to stop pulling while we were walking using the Dogtra collar. Now while walking hardly ever have to use so happy that I purchased it. Very easy to use and have had no problems with the battery life.

This is my first review ever. That’s how great this product is. Story time...My dog is deaf and needs a good strong vibration and a shock setting...Bought a $45 pertrainer e-collar off amazon. It worked well but died with a bit of water contact. Got the replacement from them seamlessly, which was nice, a bit of rain and the replacement died as well.Bought an e-collar from a pet store. The petsafe remote trainer. Vibration was too weak & the cibration button was the same as the shock button. No bueno.This e-collar has a very strong vibration. My dog feels it and responds well every time. There’s a button for each function, shock and vibrate. It’s durable and STUPID PROOF for operating. Easily turn them on, pair and so on.Truth be told it’s more $$$ than i would have liked to spend, but the quality is so worth it. If you have a deaf dog like i do, or if you just want a quality trainer with a great vibration setting, look no further.I hope this helps 🙌🏼

I absolutely love it. my dog understood very fast that she cannot take off. Actually I am just using the pager (vibration only, no shock). and it works so far for my dog. I watched a few youtube videos how to train the dog. very helpful and it worked. After 3 days training I am able to walk her without leash. What a success!This collar system is a life changer!
