Dogtra E-Collar Tom Davis 280C 2.0 [2025 Edition], Boost & Lock, Waterproof, 1/2-Mile Range Dog Training Collar with Remote, Rechargeable, 127 Levels, Vibration, Bungee, No Bad Dogs Trainer

This is more expensive but it is a good collar. It has a good range and several settings so it is very adjustable. Having the three different buttons is a good feature so I can use different settings depending on what the dog is doing at the time without having to adjust anything. Have had it for several months now with no issues.

Bought this after using another version of a dogtra ecollar and I love it! It works as it's supposed to and I like that it is expandable to two collars in case I get my boy a sibling. Love the colors but not a fan of the actual collar itself. The holes are too far apart and its either too tight or too loose. I ended up getting the low profile prongs for it because the original ones don't touch my dogs skin through his thicker husky-like hair and it works so much better with it and I know he is always getting stim whenever I use the remote. Using the different prongs also makes it looser on him so I don't feel like its choking him. Will probably poke my own hole in the collar or buy a different one at some point but it works for now.

Awesome collar! Used this with my very stubborn heeler pup. I mainly wanted this for recall. It was hit or miss whether she would come when called (mostly miss), especially when she was distracted. It does take some time to get your dog used to it, but once you get the hang of it its very easy to use. My pup is 5 months now but we are off leash in the yard and woods. This is also great for corrections when you can’t get to the dog fast enough.I use the collar at a level 3 which I can’t even feel. Boost at 13 which I can feel but isn’t painful. I use boost for when she tries to herd my daughter, and worked great for training her not to eat the chickens.The vibrate really does nothing for her except cause her to itch her neck.I’ve not tested the range, it’s plenty for my purposes and we’ve not even got close to needing the full range. We have tested the water proofing many times and never had any issues there.I guess the only negative is that she chewed the bungee cords off where she could reach them immediately, luckily there was enough left to still use.Overall this was definitely worth the money. I would’ve lost my mind without it! My dog now helps me with the chicken chores and comes with me to check trail cams, no leash needed and it’s great. She’s actually excited when I get it out because she knows it’s off leash time!

Excellent response from dogs. Still working on timing, but excellent product. Buttons are easy to work.

I purchased the 1st model of this device back in July 2023. Love the unit and never had an issue until recently and I've had to send it to Dogtra twice to have repairs done. The 1st time the collar wouldn't turn on. This last time the remote would be fully charged and I would press the "nick" button and the battery would drop to 1 bar and the light would rapidly flash red. Press the "nick" button a 2nd time and the remote would be dead. Not sure why it worked great for a yr then the last month I've had 2 issues. I purchased the newer model with the Boost N Lock to have as a backup because we use the e-collar daily. I purchased this one on July 15th, delivered on the 26th and it was dead so I charged it and used it for the 1st time on July 29th. Used it for an hr and it left a bad spot on my dogs neck. Amazon and Dogtra should be ashamed this device is being sold and can do irreparable harm to a dog. I called Dogtra but their customer service line was closed for the day, but u can guarantee im calling as soon as it's open tomorrow. Nobody buy this device and subject their loved one to this type of harm. I feel terrible a decision I made did this to my sweet boy. It seems Tom Davis cares more about what money he is making from Dogtra than to make sure a product he attaches his name and brand to is safe. The 1st model is a fantastic unit minus the last month due to the issues I've mentioned. I'll be at Bass Pro Shop as soon as the doors open and purchasing a Garmin e-collar.

AWESOME for training disobedient pups! My trainer recommended this and I love it. My dog training has been a lot easier because of it and my dog is definitely learning faster while I'm using it.

After a disappointing experience with a budget e-collar that left my dog more stressed than trained, I was hesitant to invest in another. The leap of faith was worth it. This high-quality e-collar has been a game-changer in our training routine. Its ability to adjust to very low stimulus levels means my dog responds without any stress or fear, a critical factor in effective training.The lock button is a feature I didn’t know I needed, but now can’t live without. It eliminates the worry of accidentally increasing the intensity, allowing me to focus fully on the training session. However, the standout feature has to be the boost button. It's brilliantly designed for moments of higher distraction, gently reminding my dog to focus without overcorrection.In just one week, the change in our walks is night and day. No more tears of frustration for me; we're enjoying our time together, and my dog's responsiveness, even to the first call back indoors, has improved dramatically. It's not just an e-collar; it's a bridge to better communication with my dog. Absolutely a 10/10 purchase.

Love the features on this E-collar. Very easy to use. I just hate that it’s not available for a 2 dog system. It sucks to sell a dog owner on this collar then have to refer them to another model because they have 2 dogs. The 4 star rating is only because of the limitation of one dog on this particular model with the orange remote and practical collar.
