This collar is amazing. They’ve thought of everything, from an easy on bungee to a charger that charges both collar and remote at the same time. My dog trainer recommended this one and it has been a game changer for my dog. The controls, regulated settings, and quick response mean I can train her accurately and humanely.

We are on a mountain in NC with plenty of room to roam. Our rescue terrier was taking way too much advantage of this fact so before we fenced in an area we decided to try this. It only took one day of training and this dog took to it immediately. She happily returns to the vibration so I've only used the shock mode a couple of times when I couldn't see or hear her at all. Set at 13 as anything lower did not seem to register with her at all. We are so pleased to have found a device that works so well and keeps us worry free. I attached silver charms and some beads to the bungi collar and she is really styling now ! Thank you Tom Davis for this amazing product

I really do love this collar and it's function! Game changer for obedience work. However: I wish there was a hands free option. A hands free button for each button on the remote. That could truly allow for amazing marker and correction work in training! The other thing: the color.... It's a little much lol if I could get this in black or gray. I'd be ecstatic! Otherwise, I'm extremely happy with this purchase! - Julia, Black Cobra K9

I've had my TomDavis 280c for about 8 months now and its honestly been one of the best things I could've gotten for my dogs. I love how waterproof it is as in Florida you're always somehow getting wet and when we go to the beach and my shepherd will keep on swimming if I don't call him back. Also love the Boost as its easy to up your stim when you need it since for me turning the dial takes longer than pushing a button, especially in the few occurrences that he decides to take after a bird, honestly wish other dogtra collar had that option. Also the durability of the e-collar and the remote have surprised me as I've accidentally dropped them on tile and pavement a few times and nothing has cracked or broken. Honestly for me I've had no downsides to this collar and it has improved our life so much.

I purchased this collar primarily to work on off-leash recall with my newish rescue dog. Dogtra and Tom Davis have great resources for people to learn e-collar conditioning and I highly recommend finding one you like before ever putting the collar on the dog (blog/video/podcast formats are all available!). We've been using it for about a month or 2 now, and the training is going great. I'm very happy with the TD 280C, my dog is conditioned on about a level 4 or 5, and outside with higher distraction a 9 or 10 seems appropriate to get his attention without overstimulating him. The boost does come in handy if he takes off after something more exciting that I am. I have never used the HPP "vibrate" function and am saving that for an emergency situation - hopeful I never need to use it but I feel better knowing it's in the toolbag. The collar is on my dog all evening after I get home from work, and all weekend - I charge it 1-2 times a week and so far it holds a charge well and recharges quickly, as advertised. Its been in the water and held up great. The bungee does tend to work itself loose over time and I check it often - its very easy to adjust on the fly, just hold the plastic piece and tug the bungee strap to re-tighten. It came fully assembled but with 2 loose elastic ends, which the dog promptly chewed off, so be sure to tie a knot if yours doesn't come that way! The only thing I would recommend as an improvement is to offer this version in a 2-dog system - I had a bad experience with E-collars 15 or 20 years ago and looked into this sort of as a last resort when positive reinforcement treat training and a long line weren't enough to do the trick for the reliable recall, but the technology and learning resources have come so far since then and I wish I could add a collar for my other dog!

I have a 7 month old GSP who is very hyper. With this e collar it’s like I have a completely different dog after just 5 minutes. The only downside is the vibrate mode is very intense which terrifies my dog causing him to act timid at times, but he does come right to me and lays down when using the vibrate for correction. I used a verbal marker when correcting with vibration and now I very rarely have to use the vibration, he hears my marker when acting out and follows command. My dog is so well behaved when the collar is on that I rarely even have to use any form of correction. Just make sure you correctly introduce the stimulation. I watched Tom’s e collar videos and they were very helpful. My dog does not mind the nick feature at all once properly set. I am 100% happy with my decision to try this product.

I had to specially maneuver a little to get this sent to Canada when it first came out but it was very worth it. The boost is a great addition and it’s nice to have a different looking E-collar that also benefits someone that we respect and are happy to give money to. We already had a dogtra collar but our 2nd puppy was old enough to start working with one when this came out so it was great. She’s a German shepherd with a thick furry neck so we need longer prongs for sure but it’s a great collar.

Pretty simple to use. Would definitely recommend doing research,, To insure you’re using it properly. I have a 2 year old gsd and this collar helps me to communicate with her when I let her off leash. Would highly recommend this product if you care about your pups and want to keep them as safe as possible. Also Love the colors too.
