Total control. One hand. Zero guesswork.
Train with confidence using the next generation of Dogtra performance.
The Dogtra® 280X Remote Dog Training Collar is designed to make everyday training faster, safer, and more intuitive. Inspired by trainer feedback and built on the trusted 280C platform, the 280X features a redesigned one-handed controller that keeps your most-used functions within easy reach—so you can stay focused on your dog instead of your remote.
Whether you are reinforcing recall at the park, practicing off-leash obedience, or navigating real-world distractions, the 280X delivers professional-grade performance with 100 precise stimulation levels, audible tone, XPP vibration, BOOST mode, an integrated 1000-lux LED collar light, and a dependable ½-mile range.
Built for real adventures, the receiver and transmitter feature IPX9K waterproof construction, USB-C rechargeable batteries, and durable components designed for daily training in rain, mud, and rugged outdoor conditions. The system is suitable for dogs 10 lbs and up, supports training up to 3 dogs with compatible X-Series receivers, and is available in both 1-Dog and 2-Dog configurations.

Train Responsibly
The Dogtra® 280X is designed to support responsible training, clear communication, and consistent reinforcement—not punishment.
Read the owner's manual before use, begin at the lowest effective level, limit continuous wear, and introduce the collar gradually using reward-based training techniques. Consult a qualified dog trainer when additional guidance is needed.
