Dogtra280X E-Collar with Remote [New Edition] 10 lbs+, 1/2 Mile Range, LED Light, 100 Levels of Precise Control for Stubborn Dogs, Waterproof, Boost for Quick Recall, Vibration, Safety Lock & Tone

I’ve been using the Dogtra 280C for over two years now, and I can confidently say it’s one of the best investments I’ve made as a dog parent. I originally bought it for my male Doberman, and after seeing how effective, reliable, and gentle it was in our training routine, I didn’t hesitate to purchase a second one for our newest pup.Even after two years of regular use, the first unit is still going strong. The battery life holds up, the remote response is instant, and the collar has stood up to everything from rainy walks to off-leash adventures. The design is compact, sleek, and doesn’t weigh my dogs down, which is a huge plus—especially with active breeds like mine.What made this even more enjoyable is how easy it was to buy a second unit. The process was simple and seamless, and I appreciated knowing I was investing in a product I already trusted.If you’re looking for a professional-grade e-collar that builds confidence, supports communication, and lasts over time, the Dogtra 280C is hands-down the one to get. It’s been a huge part of our glow-up journey as a stylish, structured dog family—and I can’t recommend it enough.

This e-collar is perfect for both professional and recreational use. The remote’s ergonomic, single-hand design is comfortable and well-balanced. The compact, low-profile receiver is unobtrusive and comfortable for the dog.Key features include waterproofing and USB-C charging—great for swimming, rain, and travel. The clip is easy to use, and the built-in LED is a game-changer. The programmable boost button allows quick, on-the-fly adjustments.Ideal for first-time buyers, dog enthusiasts, or professionals, this collar is well-designed and highly functional.

The media could not be loaded. I recently reviewed the Dogtra 280X on my YouTube channel, @RealisticDT22, and found it to be a reliable e-collar, especially for off-leash obedience and training. The buttons are user-friendly, and the remote is compact enough, though it feels a bit bulky in my hands. I tend to prefer a slimmer transmitter, like the ARC, Tom Davis 280C, or the OG 280C, but that’s just personal preference.I love the LED light on the receiver, which adds visibility at night, and the fact that the unit can accommodate up to three dogs. The removable shield, which allows for changing shield colors, is a nice touch. Additionally, the removable contact points make it easy to switch to vibrate-only mode. However, I was disappointed that it doesn’t come with a bungee collar, and the string attaching to the transmitter feels cheap. Overall, the 280X performs well for off-leash work, with some room for design improvements.

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.

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).
