Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use the 280C e-collar on the 280X remote?

Users can pair the 280C e-collar to the 280X remote however, there are certain limitations in access to features accessible only on the 280X e-collar such as tone, XPP vibration and the LED e-collar light as well as the requirement to power on the 280C requires a magnetic on that the 280X cannot provide.

Are both the 280X remote and e-collar waterproof?

Both the 280X e-collar and 280X remote are certified IPX9K and fully waterproof. This is the highest waterproof level in the e-collar category. For reference most cell phones are rated at IP67.

Reviews

Love it

"Love this. Very appreciated of the one hundred levels also the momentary nick versus the prolonged and the safety level lock. Have not had to use the nick yet. Tried it on my hand for the level to use. It works!"

— Michael G. (5/5)

Fast shipping

"My dog trainer ordered for me. Fast shipping. Easy to set up. Already programmed for two dogs."

— Hwm (5/5)

First, I'm trainer for about

"First, I'm trainer for about 10 years. The 280x is great, but I would make some changes. I would make a single button to control vibration, and tone, maybe program one or other. due to not using very much, if at all. My opinion. maybe the locator light too. I do like separate buttons for nick, and continuous. Seems they should both be accessible more easily. Use one of the button spaces to a boost. One butt for continuous, one for nick, and one for boost and another to toggle between, vibration,sound, and light. Keep it simple to use, but programable, with the less used functions. Otherwise it is a awsome unit, very durable,lightweight, and compact. dogtra is very friendly, take care of any issues, helpful, DOGTRA IS A AWSOME COMPANY, VERY GOOD TO WORK WITH. THANKS EVERYBODY AT DOGTRA. . ."

— D B. (5/5)

"Works great on my teacup schnauzer and it’s really helping him"

— Maude (5/5)

I love my Dogtra 280

"I love my Dogtra 280 x. This was an upgrade to my 280C and it is great. Easy to use and the light feature is great. I would highly recommend this unit to anyone."

— Laura M. (5/5)

I had the Dogtra 200C

"I had the Dogtra 200C on my previous dog for 14 years. He passed away and when I rescued another dog the collars batteries were dying quickly. I purchased the 280X and it is perfect. My dogs wear them all day and go for walks without a leash because I have total control with the Dogtra collar. The durability of the collars is impressive. The range and features are perfect."

— Russel S. (5/5)

Still trying to program

"This u it is so involved trying to program is ot easy. Got so frustrated threw it backings box for now."

— Bill D. (5/5)

I exchanged for the 200IQ.

"I exchanged for the 200IQ. Too many 'bells and whistles'. I just need a collar with the XXP function."

— JoAnne C. (3/5)

Easy Peasy

"Easy to use. The transmitter is easy to navigate and controls are simple to figure out"

— JJ (5/5)

IQ Mini

"Great quality! This is my second IQ Mini. I have a very stubborn poodle and this helps me remind him of my rules. Never had to use the full contact reminder only the “Nick”"

— Cindy (5/5)
