Description

The Dogtra 280C Transmitter is the replacement remote for the 280C, Dogtra’s compact trainer for smaller dogs. It has the rheostat dial and buttons you’re used to.

Will the Dogtra 280C Transmitter work with my collar?

It’s for the 280C system. The two-dog 282C uses the 282C transmitter. Check the model name on your collar before ordering. If it’s worn off, send us a photo and we’ll tell you.

Why replace just the remote?

If your remote is lost, broken or just tired, you don’t need a whole new system. The collar your dog already wears will work with a new transmitter of the same model once they’re paired.

Pairing your new transmitter

Pairing is quick, but do it at home and not in the field. Charge both units, follow the manual on Dogtra’s website and confirm the collar responds. If it won’t pair, get in touch and we’ll walk you through it.

Charging

A charger isn’t included, so keep your current one or add the right one to your order.

Before your first session

Do a quick dry run. Pair, test every function on the lowest setting, and check the battery indicator after a full charge. If anything seems off, it’s far easier to sort out at home than in a field with a dog waiting.

Keeping a spare remote

Some trainers keep a second remote paired to the same collar. It’s handy when two people work the same dog, and it means a lost remote doesn’t end a hunting trip.

Matching parts

The 280C remote runs on the BP37T3P battery and charges with the BC5VAUTO. It uses the #4 belt clip, the #4 dial knob and the ANT 2 antenna.

Looking after the remote

If you’ve lost one remote, you’ll want to protect the next. Use a lanyard in cover, check the belt clip screws now and then, and store it dry.

Why genuine

It’s the real thing. We only stock genuine Dogtra parts, and if you’re unsure about fit, ask us before you order and we’ll check it against your model.
