Overview
A rechargeable remote training collar from Dogtra's Tom Davis 280C 2.0 line, rated waterproof with a half mile range, 127 stimulation levels, vibration mode and a boost and lock feature.
This is built for dogs 10 lbs and up across a wide range of breed sizes, using a biothane strap with a quick release buckle rather than a standard nylon collar. The kit includes a test light and lanyard alongside the standard charger and remote, aimed at trainers and owners doing structured e-collar work rather than casual correction.
- 1/2 mile remote range
- 127 levels with boost and lock
- Waterproof, rechargeable design
- Includes test light and belt clip
Who it's for
Suits owners and trainers working with dogs already introduced to e-collar training who want a wide range and fine grained level control. Not a starter collar for dogs under 10 lbs or for owners new to e-collar methods without guidance.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Half mile range for off leash distance training
- 127 stimulation levels plus vibration mode
- Waterproof and rechargeable
- Quick release biothane strap included
- Sized for dogs 10 lbs and up, not for toy breeds
- E-collar training requires prior conditioning to use safely
Performance notes
The 127 levels plus vibration and the boost and lock function give fine control over stimulation intensity, and the half mile range covers open field or off leash training at distance. Waterproofing and the rechargeable design mean the collar can handle wet conditions and repeated training sessions without swapping batteries.
