Buy PetSafe Cinch-It Collar Now
The collars themselves are very nice so I'm going to give them a good rating, but --WARNING--if you are planning to use with the Dogtra e-collar, you might want to think again. I had an extremely difficult -I would say verging on impossible--time getting the Dogtra unit onto the collar. By the time it was on--pulling with pliers,etc,--the collar was pretty messed up, although still usable. The bigger problem came when I had to return the Dogtra units for repair/replacement.* GETTING THEM OFF THE COLLARS WAS A NIGHTMARE! My husband had to cut and poke and I don't know what else. Suffice it to say, I no longer have the collars because they had to be cut to bits. The collars are just too tight for the Dogtra. Again, nothing against the collar itself--I don't think they are ones promoting use with the Dogtra, although I'm not sure about that.As I recall the collars--for the brief time I had them, the colors are bright and great and the way they lock on and off makes them a breeze to use. I like the fact that the excess length of the collar goes underneath, as opposed to flapping around on the outside like most collars. That gives them a nice, clean look. They seem to be very well made. Trust me--through all the pulling and cutting we ended up doing as a result of the Dogtra unit fitting too tightly, these collars are TOUGH!
*Also not a critique of Dogtra e-collars; I bought 2 and I think there was some confusion--perhaps on my part. The Dogtra company was very accommodating and easy to work with. Problem solved and I am pleased with the product.

My wife and I have two dogtra 280 NCP Platinum units. I have to admit, it was A LOT of work getting the cinch-it collars through the receiver units. Once you got them on though, it was awesome! The cinch-it collars are so easy to take on and off.We've had our same cinch-it collar/receiver units for almost three years and they are still working out great. We've never had problem with them loosening up on their own. We haven't had to change batteries in the receiver units yet, I do know that I would have to destroy the cinch-it collars in order to change batteries. For the years of convenience we have enjoyed though, it would be well worth it.
If I were to do it again, I think I would use my hand plane to shave down the cinch-it collar a bit before pulling it through the receiver unit.
One of our dog club members has a Tritronic e-collar and he was able to fit the cinch-it through his receiver unit fairly easily (he used soap but he said it wasn't that difficult to do so).
We've never tried using them as a regular collar though. My dogs always have leather flat collars on for us to attach leashes to.If you have a Dogtra E-collar, this is a must. It fits better than the collar they provide for the unit, and its much easier to take on and off.
