Review on 🐶 Enhanced Dog Training: Dogtra Tom Davis Edition 280C E-Collar with Boost N' Bungee - Waterproof, 127 Levels, 1/2 Mile Range by Robin Crane

So I'll be using the e-collar technology and I'll be fair and say I really like it! I think it's good to know how they compare, at least from this user's point of view, to form your own opinion. These are really the only two brands I would trust and I've done a lot of research on how to use these tools as a positive form of communication and not a gross form of learning. What I love about the Dogtra 280C Tom Davis Edition: The addition of reinforcement (which I already had with my teacher) is a must. This allows you to deal with high distraction situations quickly and confidently, knowing exactly which level you are using. This feature can be customized. I've also put a bungee collar on my Educator before, so I was happy to see it comes standard with this device. The biggest plus for me compared to Educator seems to be such a small detail, but it actually makes the handler's job a lot easier. The thing is that the main stimulation button has a very obvious texture, which means that whenever I'm outside and actively engaging with my dog, I get it. know I'm pointing the device in the right direction and pressing the right button. It seems like a silly detail, but with Educator I found it very easy to turn the device upside down and not realize at that moment that I was pressing the vibration or sound button and not the stimulation button or vice versa. The vibration/pager feature on Dogtra is much stronger than on Educator. I checked the vapor quality of both devices myself. As an acupuncturist who has used dozens of units in practice, I can say that not all electronic stimuli are created equal. Both Dogtra and Educator seem really adept and comparable in this regard. (I have a comfort adapter that I included with my Educator that I haven't bought from Dogtra yet, so that makes a difference). Dogtra has 127 levels and Educator has 100 (I've never used either). older than 20 years and mostly up to 10 years. I myself start to feel them around the age of 13-15). This doesn't mean that Dogtra is more powerful, just that it has a slightly more subtle zoom between levels overall. Whereas Educator offers more customization in terms of how you want to use the buttons (which button does what and how they work). , my setup method is exactly the same as Dogtra as default. This cannot be changed on Dogtra, but I see no reason to. A few things are missing if they are important to you: the tutor has a light function on the receiver to help when your dog is missing. in low light conditions, which the Dogtra does not have. You also have the option to choose between sound or vibration if you are not using an electronic stimulator. Dogtra is just a vibration. My Educator-400 has a 3/4 mile range (the Mini Educator is 1/2 mile). Dogtra 280c is 1/2 mile. I honestly can't imagine my dog being so far away from me that it matters. Both receivers are almost identical in size and weight. The shape of the remote control is completely different, so it depends on personal preference. Dogtra definitely wins in terms of style. All in all, you can't go wrong with this device. Despite some features I miss on my Educator, the ease of use of this product is great, and leaving a slightly better remote control experience to personal preference. It is important to really research the use of any of these products so that they can be used in a positive way for their intended purpose. Tom Davis has a number of good resources as well as additional tutorials that come with the device. If you're new to this style of learning, you can't go wrong with this model. If you already have another brand I hope this helps for comparison. Happy training!
