Description
The Dogtra 280X Pro is the next generation of the much-loved 280C, rebuilt for owners who want clear, fast communication with small and medium dogs. A front-and-center command button keeps your thumb exactly where it needs to be, so you never miss the moment to mark or correct a behavior. The Pro version adds three configurable button layout modes, powered by the X1 PRO remote, so you can match the controls to your training style and improve timing. It’s expandable across the X-Series platform.
Dogtra 280X Pro key features
- Half-mile range for parks, trails and open yards
- Tone and vibration for non-stimulating cues
- BOOST to jump instantly from your working level to a stronger level when you need more attention
- Safety level lock so the intensity cannot be changed by accident
- Easy-to-see e-collar light for low-light visibility
- Fully waterproof and drop-resistant construction
Who it’s for
It suits family dogs, puppies starting off-leash work, and small to medium breeds that need a compact, comfortable receiver. To compare it with other models, look through our Dogtra remote training collars or read the Dogtra e-collar buying guide.

Getting good results
Fit the receiver high on the neck so both contact points touch the skin, with room to slide one finger under the strap. Start at the lowest level your dog notices, usually a small ear flick or head turn, and pair each cue with a command your dog already knows. Keep the first sessions short, reward a lot, and move the collar every few hours. For general training help that isn’t tied to any brand, the American Kennel Club training library is free.
What the Pro version adds
The Dogtra 280X Pro adds three configurable button layout modes, powered by the X1 PRO remote, so you can match the controls to the way you train. Otherwise it keeps the 280X’s half-mile range, tone, vibration and BOOST. If you don’t need custom layouts, the 280X 1-Dog is simpler.
Charging and parts
It charges over USB-C. The replacement remote is the X1 Pro transmitter, and the 280X additional receiver adds a dog.
