Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
I had purchased the 280NCP at the recommendation of our trainer for our Australian Shepherd. We used it for 6 weeks and loved it. Once we were "all" trained on how to use it, we saw amazing results. Unfortunately, my husband lost the transmitter. Not sure how -- maybe it will turn up, but we needed another collar (did not want to "loose" all of the great results from training). I was not happy about spending ANOTHER $230 on a collar, and came across this IQ by Dogtra. A few of the features that I did not particularly like on the transmitter for the 280 are different on the IQ, making it much easier for me to use with one hand (having the stimulation dial on then top and having the buttons on the sides for example). The receiver is much smaller in size, but the contact points are the same (my dog is only 40 lbs, and the smaller receiver is much better!). The range is less, but the chances of her more being 400 yards (4 football fields) away are extremely slim. The other great thing is the 2 hour charge vs. 12 - 14 hours on the 280. I will tell you, this is an absolutely amazing collar, and as far as training, does exactly the same as the more expensive 280. I am so happy that Dogtra came out with an excellent collar at a lower price point. Unless you are training dogs to hunt or need ranges so far away you can't see your pet, this is a perfect collar and I highly recommend it~
