E-Collar Tom Davis 280C 2.0 [2025 Edition], Boost & Lock, Waterproof, 1/2-Mile Range Dog Training Collar with Remote, Rechargeable, 127 Levels, Vibration, Bungee, No Bad Dogs Trainers

Love this product! And love Tom. He is an amazing human and I love the unique way he goes about dog training. I use the dogtra products for work as a trainer but also use them on my dogs at home. The issue for me was, I don't need the e-collar on my dogs all of the time just when training or going somewhere off leash. My dogs have different sized necks and I did not want to cut the original collar my unit came with so I was folding it over. This however makes things wayyyyy easier, quicker & more efficient! I read the bad reviews this product has received and I just want to say the following. If your dog chewed the bungee cord that's dangling, sorry but that's on us (the human) tuck it in, fold it, get creative. Dogs will chew things that dangle or are bothering them in the same way we would want something removed if it were bothering us. Also, how did your dog reach the back of its neck to chew the cord off? Because the electronic part should be towards the front of its neck or to the side not on the back. Anyways, if my cord does eventually need to be replaced I'll go ahead and replace it. The time this thing is saving me every day is worth it! I'm going to start recommending it to clients who don't have the time to fuss with the typical buckle collar on the daily. I especially love that when I'm out with my dogs doing active things, it's tight and secure without it being as constricted as the buckle collar was. I'm having my dogs run fast, jump up, go swimming and there is a lot of movement therefore this helps alot! Thanks Tom for creating this awesome and very cool lookin collar. NO BAD DOGS! Love it.

This product has help define the dog my puppy has grown into. My puppy wasn't terrible at listening, but often was more distracted at what was going on around us when we were outside. It helped grab his attention and keep him focused on my instructions. I live where there are wild animals, cars, snakes and plenty of other things that could potentially hurt a curious pup. This has helped keep him from harm, that my voice alone would not have many times over. It may be a bit pricey but the durability and the quality speak for itself. As long as you keep an eye on the battery and use it as its intended it works great. I did buy some other collars to attach this to, to get the fit just right. I am very thankful for this product and my dog truly loves to wear it. Most of the time now I can just use a command without even using the collars features because he has it ingrained into him now. I never have to turn it up much and usually a quick buzz does the job.

A great collar that we’ve used daily for two 1/2 years. We live on the beach so it gets a lot of wear from the surf and sand. It just needed new elastic so I purchased a new one.

We got a 4 year old rescue that turned out to be extremely reactive and aggressive to dogs and people. I was an adamant proponent of only positive reinforcement. We have had several sessions with an excellent trainer and have seen much improvement, but… Three months in our pup pulled my husband down, he lost the leash, and the dog went after a jogger in the park. Fortunately the jogger was able to stop the dog without injury to either of them but it was terrifying to think about what could have happened. We had been watching Tom Davis videos, at our trainers suggestion, so I gave in on the idea of an ecollar. I soon saw, after trying it on myself, that it feels like the tens machine I use for muscle pain (it does get pretty uncomfortable at higher levels). The level that works most times for our dog is one I do not even feel. Our trainer told us how to get started and calibrated the device for our dog. We opted for this model even thought it is larger/heavier than the mini because it had some additional features. We have used the boost function a couple of times and it was very helpful when our little guy was so agitated that he did not feel the regular sensation. The bottom line…after a couple weeks of use we passed numerous people and dogs on our walk today and he did not go full Cujo once! He ignored, or looked with some interest at passersby but responded well to my leash and verbal commands. When a dog started barking at him, he ignored my command but a single level 5 nic brought his attention back to me. We still have work to do, and I can not say enough about the importance of a good trainer to help you, but this can be an invaluable tool, even if you do not plan to have your dog off leash. I noticed that there are a number of returns noted for this item and I suspect it may be due to folks not taking the time to get the dog used to the collar and learning the proper use before expecting it to work. In any event, I heartily recommend training and using the tolls you need. For us, this was it!

This collar is very well built. I have a Doberman, very smart dog but he does get distracted a lot. He does love these collars, I love the range on it. He doesn't like the leash now. but will still wear it. Thinks hes a big boy now. (hes 1 year.) recall on the dog is amazing, doesn't respond to the low volt, I use the vibration, and he responds better the vibration, pups my vary :). Vibration : only have to tap 1. Shock: level don't work until 15 for my pup but don't like to use it. bungee system is very nice and easy :) (Little too long, for my Doberman, i have to put the extra part under the rest of the bungee so its not slapping him in the face.) Without collar: (Very distracted without collar) Tell him down - Yes Tell him sit - Yes Come - Yes and No Stay - on his time lol Listening for my dog is A+ before it was like a B With Collar: Works with collar on (Don't even need to press the buttons.) Tell him down - Yes Tell him sit - Yes Come - Yes Stay - Yes My pup loves collars, doesn't like me taking off his main to wash it. (I would just make sure that your dog is built for it. I have a American Bully that basically scared of his own shadow. Baby about everything. I would not put this collar on him just because I would never be able to put a collar on him again.)
