280X 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

So far this ecollar is very easy to use and very helpful teaching my pup boundaries for acceptable behavior. The battery life is good so far and ease of use makes this a good tool for training. Just try it on yourself first so you know how strong the different levels are, then I followed an online tutorial. The tutorial has you very gradually increase levels until your pup reacts slightly. Then you have an idea of your dogs tolerance without hurting them. Good product.

While I can’t review this particular product yet because I just bought it, I highly recommend the dogtra brand collars over any other brand. I’ve used other models before and they’ve all been consistently effective. The adjustable range allows for precise correction level without over or under stimulation. I just purchased this model. Haven’t used it yet but I like the compactness of the device, and the extra features that it offers over the ones I have previously used.

So far so good. They are definitely making their money on this thing. Hard to believe it costs what it does. That said, I did buy a cheaper one first, and level 1 on that thing was level 16 on this! My dog responds to this thing at level 4.. so yeah.. I was cooking my sweet little baby May-may. The more finite control of the "shock" and the boost button make this a win for me. The collar strap however is something you'll absolutely want to replace right away. No way am I going to fight my dog every time I want to put that thing on. There are bungee options out there that I may end up with (3/4"), but for now I'm using the strap off the cheaper unit I bought. The only other gripe I have, I can't turn the collar on or off without taking it off my dog. Imagine fighting with the collar, finally getting it tight enough and then realizing you have to take it off to turn the dumb thing on!

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. Ok, back to distance off leash, 100% recall ! Thank you, Dogtra

I did need to return this model, exchange it for the dogtra ARC-X however I do believe this unit is every bit as good as the one I exchanged it for This is an excellent product. I've got a young husky, that should say it all, but she really has a mind of her own and I didn't want something to punish her I wanted something to teach her to engage her to share time with her. This product gives me the ability to do just that. I can communicate with her non-verbally and verbally to create a connection between the two of us. This is a quality product not like some of the "cheaper" products that you can find. This is a professional piece of equipment that allows the average dog owner the ability to take care of their four-legged family members. I opted for this unit for several reasons the slim fit the fact that it will fit multiple sizes of animals as I have a 110 lb GSD I have an 80 lb Ridgeback and a 60 lb husky after undergoing a four-way bypass surgery I needed something to help me get through to this husky, then I realized I really need to get through to the others so the fact that it has three family member capacity was key in my purchase. I am very pleased and happy that I was able to find this product.

Works great, had to get a new one due to the old one losing battery quickly. The only thing I wish is the strap wouldve been made of better quality it feels very cheap and flimsy. Everything else is great

Ease of use and no-nonsense setup was greatly appreciated. Works perfectly at distances as it should. Well made unit and charging was a breeze with USB-C connections.

Cannot yet say. I need to use it for a little while before I can give it a proper review on this particular unit. We did have the 180 and it worked well until we experienced problems with the battery not fully charging.
