Dogtra 1900X E-Collar for Dog Training - 3/4 Mile Range, for Dogs 35 lbs+, IPX9K Waterproof, 100 Stimulation Levels, Vibration, Tone, Rechargeable - Ideal for Dog Owners and Professional Trainers

THIS COLLAR HAS CHANGED MY RELATIONSHIP WITH MY DOG FOR THE BETTER! I have a stubborn 1 year old in tact male Great Dane who’s had a tough time with his recall in high distraction settings. Before purchasing this collar, I went down a rabbit hole trying to find the best collar for a giant breed dog. This one consistently came out on top. After having the collar for about a month I have to agree that it is 100% worth the money. This collar (Dogtra 1900x) has been amazing for nipping the times he wants to ignore me right in the butt. Against my better judgement, I tried some of the cheaper E-collars you can buy off of Amazon, and they didn’t phase my dog at all. And I mean AT ALL!! This collar has 127 levels and my Dane consistently works at somewhere between a 20-25. There was one instance where he wasn’t recalling, and I slowly worked the collar up to about a 50. Let’s just say he hasn’t ignored me since. I can’t imagine what the stim would be like at a higher level than that. Learn from my mistakes and just buy the nice collar from the start. I know it sucks that it’s expensive, but trust me it’s been worth it. This collar has made communication with my dog clear, and has allowed my dog more freedom than ever. Pros: -The receiver on the collar is large which is great for large/giant breed dogs. -The “continuous” setting on the remote has been amazing for clear communication with my dog and his recall. -I love that there is a “boost” function so you can consistently work at a lower level “stim” but the option is there if you need it. -You can make fine adjustments with the levels and really dial in your dogs working settings. -The battery life on this thing is amazing! I maybe use the collar twice a day 30-45 minutes at a time, and after about two weeks was when I could tell it needed to be charged. -I haven’t needed to change out the prongs on the receiver, but I like that Dogtra has a few different prong options if your dog is allergic to the metal or has a longer coat. -The range on the collar is amazing, and is true to what they say the range is. Cons: -I honestly don’t have anything bad to say about this collar. I’ve seen some people complain that the “beep” isn’t all that loud, but forget the beep is meant for their dog and not for them. The beep isn’t necessarily meant to be a function that should be used to try locating your dog. If you’re struggling with your stubborn dogs recall, or honestly anything else that can trained with an E-collar do yourself a favor and splurge on this collar!

We love this collar! It has provided the freedom for our Doberman to get the exercise he needs and doesn't need to be on leash. He learned extremely quick. We tried a different one before we found this brand and it didn't work for us. So, i was a little skepital but the reviews were great and i'm so happy we gave it a try! Life changing!

My rescue pit/mix would jump at the fence or dig at the ground whenever the neighbor dogs were out. We got a ~$50 training collar at a local pet store, but it was laughably inadequate; she might as well not have the collar on for all the good it did. After reading reviews and articles that suggested this Dogtra collar, I decided to give it a try. The price is pretty steep, but WELL worth it! The first thing I did was try the shock setting on myself at various levels to personally feel what she would feel. I was touching the prongs with my bare fingers, so the thickness and length of a dogs hair can have an effect on efficacy. * At 20 or below, I can barely feel it. More of a tickle. * At 30 it starts to get noticeable, but doesn't hurt at all. * At 60 it gets your attention. * At 80 it's definitely uncomfortable. * At 100 and up, it's jarring and starts to really hurt. So I put the collar on my dog and as soon as she started running for the fence, I "buzzed" the collar a couple times as a warning, and then use the shock setting. It only took a day or two of this procedure for her to get the hint that the buzz was a warning and will be followed by a shock if she doesn't stop, and she now immediately changes course as soon as she feels the warning buzz, and we hardly have to use the shock setting any more. As a bonus, the collar also helps train her not to bark at everything that moves or makes a noise. The buzz warning is all that's needed. To find the ideal shock setting, I started low at around 40 and did a little trial and error slowly increasing the power level until she started responding. Eventually, we found a shock setting of around 75-80 is the best combination of effectiveness while not causing undue pain. My dog is ~60lb with short hair, so you have to adjust accordingly for size and fur amount. Usage is pretty intuitive. You push the button on the remote and the collar to turn them on (green LED will flash on both). I push the buzz button to make sure everything works, then put the collar on the dog. I was a little surprised at how long the shock prongs are. It took a little trial and error to find the proper collar adjustment hole that was tight enough to ensure adequate prong contact while not causing the prongs to dig in. I then marked the collar to make future use faster and consistent. Collar battery life around 1-2 days and the remote life is about 2-3 days, which is about what I expected. We usually don't turn the collar and remote off after each use, so they are usually sitting on the counter powered on but idle. I'm sure battery life would be better if we shut both off after each use. Charging is pretty simple; open the rubber covers on the charging ports and attach the charge adapter. The Y cable is nice to charge both at once if needed. The collar seems to work fine even when damp and in light rain. We haven't really testing in heavy rain though since she doesn't want to go outside when it's too wet out.

Fantastic quality, our last dogtra product we are still using 10 years later for our other dog. Dog responds well to vibration and beep. Remote is a bit more complex than others but you get acclimated quickly

I upgraded to the 1900X in the fall of 2024 as I was excited about the new light, tone, and boost features. I previously was running the 1900 and was very impressed with the ruggedness and ease of use, particularly the rheostat for setting and adjusting the stimulation level quickly. My favorite feature of the 1900 and 1900x is the durability and waterproofness, I NEVER have to worry about taking the collar off be fore my pup gets into the water or mud. I like the 1900X a lot! My pup is very well behaved as he is also my service dog but since he is a strong dog (pit mix) I find it very useful to also have the boost option as a strong 'NO'. I also like that the large front button can be switched between 'Nick' and 'Constant', but Dogtra should have also included an option for 'Page' for those of us who primarily use that mode of stimulation. I use the 'Page' function as a 'Come' command for my dog so I have a quiet was to recall him. A small thing but something that could easily be improved upon. The receiver is similar to the previous model but now has an aluminum shell for protection, I like it and it looks good. The contacts thread into the unit meaning that they can be completely removed if undesired. Unfortunately, the on/off button for the receiver is in-between the contact tips, making the comfort pad incompatible with this model version. The receiver and transmitter both charge via usb-c which is a very welcome improvement. Now it is convenient to charge either unit almost anywhere instead of needing a dedicated DC power supply. I experienced no issues with the range of the unit. I also very much appreciated the lock feature for securing a stimulation setting. It was nice to know that the level wouldn't change if the knob got bumped. The reason I must take a star off is due to the belt clip that comes with the unit. I was disappointed to see a cheap plastic belt clip instead of the nice metal one on the 1900. It has been a constant struggle to keep the transmitter on my person as my pup and I move through the woods. The transmitter has fallen off multiple times and I've cumulatively spent several hours looking for it. This May, 2025, I lost it for the last time. I looked for hours once again but did not find it. That being said, I've already ordered another transmitter (and receiver for back up) as it is my favorite E-collar!

Let’s get this out of the way. It’s way too expensive. It does work. I’ve got a 5 going on 6 month old German Shepherd who I work with three times a day at the park and of course at home. He’s usually stuck to me like glue but he’s also a very alpha pup who can get a bit too alpha. The collar is extremely well made and it holds a charge for quite a while. I haven’t been able to check the distance yet because as I said he doesn’t get to far from me. But as with all dogs there can be times when you need to find their off switch for their safety and maybe someone else’s. For that the stim comes in handy. I tested it on my finger at 22 and felt a tingle only. I set it at 30 for my pup . It’s just enough to make him stop in his tracks and return to me. It could be a squirrel a kid on a bike a stranger walking in the park at dusk …. You never know. I do know I don’t want him running into traffic or scaring the crap out of someone or getting in a dogfight. This covers all of that. I’m fortunate because he’s very smart and took to the tone and vibration after one hour of working with him. The stim I only used when he “ couldn’t hear me “ and he got the message. I never would hurt my pup so the 30 stim setting is a last resort. As with all dogs the training you put into your pup/dog is what makes your dog a good citizen. This collar won’t help you or your dog if you are not committed to the work. You get out what you put in. I would buy this again and again

This collar works great for our 1 year old 135 lb Presa Canario. I was hesitant about using an e-collar as he was training well, quickly learning and obeying commands. However, he ignored commands when extremely excited and was difficult to calm down. We tried a cheaper Amazon Special collar, but it didn't seem to faze him, even at max intensity. With this collar, my dog starts to take notice at the 40 setting with a burst at 50 stopping him when he is really excited. The results are night and day. I noticed an immediate improvement in his behavior around visitors. Just the act of holding the remote in my hand is enough to keep him calm and responsive to commands (sit, lay, stay) in situations where he normally goes on a rampage in excitement. Currently, I'm learning more about how to use the collar effectively for both on-leash and off-leash training. He pulls hard on walks when he sees something he wants to sniff (or pee on), even while wearing a prong collar. And he needs a lot more training and discipline before I can start trusting him off leash. Between this collar and the numerous training resources, I believe I can get him there, and he will ultimately be a great dog.

This review is for my 2nd 1900X bought here on Amazon. I returned the first one for a replacement because it double-tapped on the "nick" setting. On "nick," when you push the stim button you should feel only a single, quick stim; but BOTH 1900X collars gave TWO quick stims at least once every 20 nicks, and the 2nd collar randomly BOOSTED the correction at least 10 levels higher than it was set for! Ouch. (I was nowhere near the Boost button, but this explained why my pup was occasionally jumping on single-digit corrections.) I love the thunky stim the collar provides, and its vibration feature is startlingly strong, so I regret giving only one star, but here is why I made the decision to do so: In order to protect other dogs from having the same confusing experience as my dog did, rather than simply returning the 2nd collar to Amazon, I sent it directly to Dogtra for warranty repair. When I called to tell them I'd received TWO collars with the same problem and asked if they'd gotten many complaints about the issue, they said "none whatsoever," and insisted they would've heard about it by now. After they received the collar I was told the high voltage circuit had to be replaced, so they did find something wrong. But I got it back last night and IT STILL DOUBLE-TAPS. So this unit is going back to Amazon, just like the 1st one, with writing on the box that says it is defective so that it will be returned to Dogtra and not resold as-is. Honestly, I expected more from Dogtra. I still use two collars of theirs that are over 10 years old. I was just interested in the new features on this one. If you do buy a 1900X, test the collar on yourself at a level you can feel, using the "nick" setting (not the "continuous" setting). Press the stim button every second or two (count "one-Mississippi" each nick) at least 20 times in a row. Both of my collars malfunctioned within the first 20 nicks and within each 20 nicks thereafter. I tested the collars on my forearm and on the side of my neck, (which Dogtra strongly objects to), at levels 15 and 20. BOTH collars had the double-tap problem. The "boost" effect was more random and I only felt it once while testing the 2nd collar. Wondering if I might be mishandling the button, I had someone totally unfamiliar with e-collars test the 2nd one on his forearm, controlling the unit himself. "Oh yeah," he said, within about 10 nicks. So this is not just me. Again, I regret writing such a strong negative review about a product made by a company I respect, but Dogtra needs to accept that there may be a problem with more than a couple of these collars. I cannot believe the unit they returned to me as "repaired" was tested on a human being. It should have been because I wrote this down and my description was still attached to the transmitter when I got it back. Electric collars are tricky enough to introduce to dogs. Collars that don't give the corrections they advertise shouldn't be sold. Period. Please fix this.

Funciona perfecto, util para adiestramiento canino.
