280X: compact, fits 10 lbs+, easy everyday range

Cons

1900X: too large for small dogs, heavier

The core difference

Same control layout, different size and reach. The 280X is the compact all-rounder: 1/2-mile range, fits dogs 10 lbs and up, plastic case. The 1900X steps up to a 3/4-mile range and a built-for-life metal receiver sized for dogs 35 lbs and up. Both share the front-button ergonomics, 100 levels and the 1000-lux LED light.

What owners say

I look at the Dogtra E Collars, which look like good quality. Does the 1900s have a stronger static stimulation than the 280c? Or is the collar ...

Which to choose

Choose the 280X for small-to-medium dogs and everyday range; choose the 1900X for big dogs, long distance and a case that shrugs off abuse. Setup for either is on the how to use page.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 1900X worth it over the 280X?

If you have a large dog or work past half a mile, yes - the 1900X adds range and a metal case. For a small-to-medium dog at everyday distances, the 280X is enough.

Do they use the same remote layout?

Both are X-series with the same front-and-center main button and 100 levels, so the controls feel the same.
