Dogtra Tom Davis 280C E-Collar
The Dogtra 280C is the Tom Davis edition: a 1/2-mile e-collar with 127 correction levels, a customizable Boost button, a Safety Level Lock and a quick-fit bungee collar, sized for dogs 10 lbs and up. It is the compact unit built around pro-trainer workflow.
Pros
- Customizable Boost button for instant recall jumps
- Safety Level Lock prevents accidental changes
- Compact - fits dogs down to 10 lbs
- IPX9K waterproof with a quick-fit bungee collar
- Receiver-only add-a-dog option on the 2.0
Cons
- 1/2-mile range, shorter than the 1900 series
- Boost/Lock workflow is a learning curve for beginners
- Tom Davis branding, not the plain X-series layout
Who the 280C is for
Co-designed with trainer Tom Davis, the 280C targets owners who want the Boost-and-Lock workflow on a compact receiver that fits dogs as small as 10 lbs (neck 12 inches and up). Boost gives an instant, preset jump in stimulation for recall; the Safety Level Lock stops accidental level changes mid-session. It shares its size class with the X-series 280X, but the two are different lines - see 280C vs 280X.

Add-a-dog and setup
The 280C 2.0 sells a receiver-only unit that pairs to your existing remote to add a second dog - handy if you are expanding rather than replacing. Charging, pairing and collar fit follow the standard flow on the how to use page. The Tom Davis quick-release bungee strap is covered under replacement straps.
