Dogtra ARC Handsfree remote trainer

Yea, that's pretty far. About double what I get on The Dogtra IQ. Its the one I bought for Kali and it only goes 400 yards. But I've never had a problem not reaching them. I think if it were on a low setting and she got far away, it may not reach. But so far so good. And I rarely use anything but the Vibration.

I had the same collar as stryker but only one dog, for Java. Then I needed a two dog system that had a few more bells and whistles. Paige is a very soft dog so having tones, vibrate and stim all in one was important to me so I upgraded to the ecollar technologies Educator PE 902. I did look into the arc collar back then and the curve design did really appeal to me! but it was very brand new and the price was much higher then. The educators box is also much smaller than dogtras so I was happy either way with my choice there. My mother also needed a collar for her new pup so it all worked out great.

You will have to let us know how it is if you get it!

 

Hmmm, I like the curve design on the Arc too. That looks like it would carry better around the neck than just the square thing, which seems heavy. Especially on Kali.

When you mention "box" what are you referring to?

 

The receiver on the collar.

 

That's what I thought. But it looks as big as the one I've got. Is it actually smaller in size? I've often said that I wish that thing, I guess called The Box, , was smaller. For a smaller dog. When I looked it up I didn't think it looks much smaller but pictures are deceiving.

 

My educator receiver is definitely smaller than my old Dogtra 1900. I'll have to take a picture. I just looked the Dogtra 1900 up since I dont have it on hand and it looks like they updated the collar to also have the slim technology.

You also have to remember, I dont have small dogs, hah. So yes it is smaller than my old ecollar but I think anything will look "big" on a small dog! I also realized that you are probably talking about the IQ and the educator where I was talking about a different dogtra collar... the IQ and the educator are the same size with the IQ weighing slightly more.

Edit:
Dogtra Surestim (1900) H Plus (my old collar):

• Receiver Box Dimensions: 3.125" x 1.75" x 1.5"
• Weight: 8 oz

Dogtra IQ

• Receiver Dimensions: 2 x 1.5 x 1
• 2.7 ounces

Educator Pro (current collar)

• 2" X 1.5" X1
• 2.4 ounces

 

Dont mind me! Collar receiver is the correct term... it was just late and the "box" was so much easier to process cause it looks like a box, lol

 

Short hair prongs? Does that mean the 'knobs' that go against their skin are smaller? I tried to look it up but the pictures didn't show the prongs. That's always been my issue on Kali. She is so small and that 'box and prongs' seems so large on her neck. I never put it on very tight and if I do it too loose it bounces up and down as she runs and will rub off hair if left on too long. So I never leave it on Long. I'd be interested to know if those have smaller prongs in the one I have.
