Easy to setup and works great for 2 dogs

So I just received this and haven't had a chance to test with my pups. That said, I purchased it for its vibration and tone functions more than for its shock functions. As such, I want to remove the removable prongs. Turns out there is a tool that Dogra is happy to sell you for an additional $1.50, which begs the question, why not include the tool with the product. I just incured $8.20 in shipping fees to just buy a $1.50 tool. This is just a poor customer experience.

As a professional dog trainer, I got the 2 dog 280x. Connecting with my old 280c was a breeze although there is not much information on how to do it. As part of Dogtra’s popular lineup, the 280X model is a step up in terms of functionality, durability, and ease of use, making it an excellent choice for both novice pet owners and professional trainers. Pros: - Stimulation knob is WAY more accurate - 3 dogs on one remote - Not sure about battery size, but it felt like the unit lasts longer Cons: - I did not like the system to switch between dogs. It is small for my big hands. - The 280c remote felt more ergonomic than this remote. - Side buttons are a bit small compared to 280c I have been loving having multiple dogs in one remote. I also switched out the traditional plastic buckle strap out for a bungee since I prefer the ease of putting it on and taking it off which I HIGHLY recommend (this unit needs a 3/4" strap). I do wish that the buttons on the side were more the size of the 280c. I also wish that the middle button was NOT the stim button. Overall, I think this is one of the most solid e-collars on the market and well worth the price. I have been a long time Dogtra user and will continue to be. An extremely well made e-collar by Dogtra, and I can confidently say: it's their best one yet.

I got the 2 dog system and have used for a month. I love all the new features. The light is great for playing fetch after dark. The main button is easy to find. You flip a switch to change between dog 1 & 2. I added on a hands free square for each dog and they work no matter which dog the switch is on. The boost is great to prevent my more spirit dog from chasing wildlife and lets me keep the main level at 10. That’s all my female usually needs. The usb-c charger is great and can charge 4 things out of one outlet. I like that you have a button for vibrate and tone. The battery lasts over two days for me. The best part about Dogtra is the durability. They last for years and I drop them all time. Other brands always break on me.
