Description
The Dogtra 280C brings a full-featured remote trainer to smaller dogs. It pairs Dogtra’s smallest receiver with 127 levels of stimulation, so a 10 lb terrier or a sensitive spaniel gets the same fine control professionals use on big working breeds. For basic obedience, off-leash manners or early field training, it’s one of the easiest e-collars to live with.
Dogtra 280C: why it suits small dogs
A lot of e-collars are too bulky for a small neck. The 280C receiver is compact and light, so your dog stays comfortable during long sessions. Stimulation runs from 1 to 127 on Dogtra’s patented rheostat dial, so you can make tiny adjustments and find the lowest level your dog responds to. That’s what keeps e-collar training calm and positive.
Small but tough
The 280C has Dogtra’s IPX9K rating, earned by surviving high-pressure, high-temperature water jets at close range. Puddles, rain, the beach and swimming are all fine. The non-stimulating High Performance Pager gives you a strong vibration cue you can use instead of stimulation, which works well for sound-sensitive or soft dogs.
Who should buy it
Choose the 280C if your dog is 10 lbs or more and you want precise, gentle correction for recall, leash manners, jumping, chasing or general obedience. It’s also good for field training a young pointer or flusher that needs a lighter receiver, and for puppies that will grow into bigger breeds. Training two small dogs?

FAQ
What is the smallest dog the Dogtra 280C fits?
The Dogtra 280C is designed for dogs as small as 10 lbs. Its ultra-compact receiver is lighter and smaller than most e-collars, which keeps little dogs comfortable.
Is the 280C waterproof?
Yes. The 280C carries Dogtra’s IPX9K waterproof rating, so your dog can swim, play in the rain or run through wet grass without any risk to the collar.
Does the 280C use vibration as well as stimulation?
Yes. Alongside Nick and Constant stimulation, the 280C has a non-stimulating High Performance Pager. Many owners of sensitive small dogs train mostly with vibration.
Care
Rinse the receiver with fresh water after salt water, mud or marsh and let it dry. Charge the batteries fully before storing it, and top them up every few months in the off-season. Check the strap and contact points for wear and keep them clean. Take the collar off for a few hours every day so your dog’s skin stays healthy.
