Review on Dogtra HANDSFREE Expandable Rechargeable Waterproof by Christy Grizzle

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Arc in action, learning seat

I have ordered and returned several e-collars from different manufacturers. I tried them, worried about my dog's health, got scared, stopped using them; and after watching dozens of videos and reading Larry Kron's book on eclars, I finally felt confident in using this tool properly. My dog learns well with this collar. I mainly use the pager function but also use the stimulator but don't go over 19 on the scale that goes to 127. I use them to give a command and the dog turns off the stimulation/vibration as needed. She learns that SHE can control the collar. I like the design of the ARC collar better, it's less bulky than the 900 collar but it's still an eco collar. I liked the 900 remote more, this one is too big for my hand. Haven't used the speakerphone yet. I need an ecocolar to teach my dog to stay on land which is difficult to fence as it is on the river. I will end up buying a Dogtra hunting collar so I can map the GPS boundary to alert me when the dog goes off the boundary. I've attached a video of me training my dog to go to a 'place' with just a pager. I have used all of the collars I have purchased on myself and trust Dogtra's Stim. I put a collar around my neck and injured myself at 60. I don't recommend. Use your leg or arm, but at least get an idea of what it's like.
