Dogtra 282C Remote Training E-Collar for 2 Dogs - 1/2 Mile Range - 127 Static Stimulation Levels, Vibration, Rechargeable, Waterproof, Electric Dog Collar for Obedience Training of Small, Medium Dogs

I needed a different training tool for my dog and this collar is very helpful. Previously I was unable to get him to drop a ball or toy so we were never able to play with them. It works quickly and effectively.

Had it a few weeks, and it works as described. Very happy with this purchase

Easy to operate, effective, and a strong range. I have already recommended it to friends.

We have used this training device for several of our dogs and are very pleased with how it works and knowing that it does not hurt our pups. The new ones come with plastic colors that have horribly heavy metal hardware one of the reasons we buy this color is because of the small training device, but with this heavy metal, our little ones can barely move with it on their necks, it has been difficult to find colors that work with the dog so we are a little disappointed in that fact, we do love the dog and the fact that we can try it on ourselves before we use it on our dogs and know that they are safe and a good training device

Used for about 3 years now. I have nothing bad to say. The range is amazing, it’s easy to use, completely water proof, has low-high levels AND a vibrate setting. Can’t say enough good things. Worth the money

This collar was recommended to me by my trainer. At first i was a bit apprehensive but once i saw it in action i was floored at the ability to correct negative behavior. My Golden Retriever is a bit “excitable” and likes to show “affection” to other dogs. I was at a loss on how to get him to stop but when my trainer told me about this collar i ordered it. Sure enough it only took a few corrections and now he rarely shows “affection” to other dogs. It has also allowed for me to work with him on off leash training and having him listen to me when not on a leash or nearby him. It’s a great product, easy to use and worth the cost. I did buy a different collar for the electronic piece so i could clip it on and off much easier.

So far it has been easy to pair and useMy friend has one and loves it!

Review written in July 2022 - 4 months after the purchase of the 280C, and about 9 years after using a 280NCP.SUMMARY: The 280C is a great upgrade. Smaller collar than the older 280NCP, still with great range and long battery life.I initially used an older Dogra 280NCP collar to train a golden retriever basic obedience. Typical alpha dog, refused to listen. The collar was used primarily on vibrate to get her attention, occasionally on a very low setting (40ish) to reinforce verbal and gesture training commands, and a couple of times at a higher setting to immediately curb dangerous behavior (running into a road, chasing a bear).After that the 280NCP would get occasional use when the dog was off-leash on hikes, in lakes, and in the ocean. That older unit made it 9 years (!!!), including one set of batteries being replaced.In July,the 280NCP stopped working. New batteries didn't fix it, so it was time to replace it. I was pleasantly surprised by the 280C. It's a much smaller receiver, so I imagine even more comfortable for our dog to wear. It worked very well on a beach trip. It was powered on for 12+ hours at a time, and worked perfectly fine in the ocean. No irritation. We were able to call the dog back from several hundred feet away.I would recommend replacing the vinyl (?) collar that comes with the kit with something fabric if the dog is going to wear the collar for long periods of time.

The buttons were not working intermittently. We used this for about 3 years and the issues started happening, so we sent it back to dogtra for repair but after checking the item they said there were no issues and returned it to us.We got a mini-educator after that. Best buy, very lasting and durable.
