Dogtra 280X E-Collar
The Dogtra 280X is the compact all-rounder: a 1/2-mile range, 100 correction levels, Tone, Vibration and BOOST, a 1000-lux LED light and full waterproofing, sized for dogs 10 lbs and up. The front-and-center main button makes it the easy X-series pick for everyday training.
Pros
- Front-and-center main button for easy timing
- Fits small-to-medium dogs, 10 lbs and up
- 100 levels plus Tone, Vibration and BOOST
- 1000-lux LED light and safety level lock
- 2-dog version and add-a-dog receiver available
Cons
- 1/2-mile range, shorter than the 1900 series
- Plastic case rather than the 1900X metal housing
- 100 levels, fewer steps than the 127-level 280C
Who the 280X is for
The 280X fits owners who want a current X-series collar that works on small and medium dogs without the bulk of the 1900X. The big, front-mounted main button means you rarely miss a correction's timing, and 100 levels give fine control. It sizes down to 10 lbs with removable contact points, and a 2-dog version plus a standalone add-a-dog receiver let the system grow.

How it compares and setup
Against the Tom Davis 280C, the 280X swaps 127 levels and Boost-and-Lock for 100 levels and the simpler front-button layout (280C vs 280X). Step up to the 1900X for more range and a metal case (280X vs 1900X). People also cross-shop it against the Mini Educator ET-300 - see Dogtra vs Educator. Setup is on the how to use page.
