Title: The best Dogtra so far
Review: 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.

Title: Great e-collar and easy to program!
Review: 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.

Title: Great for 3 Dogs Plus LED Light for Night Time
Review: 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.

Title: Works well, power adapter failed early but e-collar seems well made
Review: Splitter cable for charger failed after 3 months of very light use. I contacted support and initially was told it was not covered under warranty, then pointed out that the manual says the splitter was included and they ended up honoring it. I hope this isn't a preview for future warranty issues for the device itself, but 5 stars as it works well and they (eventually) did honor the warranty.

Title: New Collar, New Adventures!
Review: Right out of the box, the ease of use is un-matched. Former Dogtra Training E-Collar users will quickly pick up on the functions of the new 280X E-Collar. I upgraded from a Dogtra T&B 2500, and while I am sacrificing some range, this collar still packs more in functionality, aiding me to improve on my dogs training and control in situations. Vibration, Stimulation and Stim. Lock at set level, Nice output light, Noise pager and a smaller design? Dogtra continues to out perform their competition and release upgrades based on customer review, and I am glad I am here for it. I wanted an upgrade that would last me a couple years, and I strongly believe I just found it! I've also reached out to customer service from Dogtra directly in the past, and have always been assisted with any problem I may have been encountering. Their professionalism, dedication, and commitment to customer service still ring true, and I am proud to be a Dogtra user. Thank you again Dogtra!!!

Review: Very easy to use and to get dialed into the dog correctly. Our GSD learned very fast. Charges quickly and lasts for a couple of days at a time. He's a different dog now!

Review: 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 🙌🏼

Review: This is a great tool for both off-leash and behavior correction (once your dog already has a solid obedience training base) if you follow a proper training/trainer to use it properly. Is working wonders on both leash reactivity and recall for my 5 year old rescue shepherd.

Review: 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.
