Description
The updated Dogtra ARC Handsfree PLUS B&L is a slim, expandable e-collar that now has Boost and Safety Level Lock. It gives you fine control for dogs from 15 lbs, small, medium or large.
Its main extra is the Handsfree Square, a small wearable button you can set to Nick, Continuous, Vibration or Boost, so you can train without reaching for the remote.
ARC Handsfree PLUS: how the Handsfree Square works
Pair each square to one function and put it wherever it’s handy: your vest, belt, leash handle or gun. You can pair up to 14 squares to one remote, and each one needs to be within 33 feet of the remote to work. That way you can give a cue the moment you need to, even with a leash, a bird or a gun in your hands.
Range and build
You get a 3/4-mile range and a slim, light, IPX9K waterproof collar, with 127 Nick/Constant levels and pager vibration. Boost lets you preset a stronger level for big distractions, and Safety Level Lock stops the level changing by accident. The Handsfree Square itself isn’t waterproof, so keep it out of heavy rain.
Adding a second dog
Add the ARC Handsfree PLUS Additional Receiver to train a second dog from the same remote. If you’d rather have the earlier version, see the original Dogtra ARC Handsfree. Manuals are on the official Dogtra website.
What’s in the box

FAQ
What does B&L mean?
B&L stands for Boost and Lock: a customisable Boost level and a Safety Level Lock that prevents accidental changes to your setting.
How many Handsfree Squares can I use?
You can pair up to 14 Handsfree Squares to one remote, each assigned to a different function, within 33 feet of the remote.
Is the ARC Handsfree PLUS expandable?
Yes. It expands to a two-dog system with an additional ARC Handsfree PLUS receiver.
Care
Rinse the receiver with fresh water after salt water, mud or marsh and let it dry. Charge the batteries fully before storing it, and top them up every few months in the off-season. Check the strap and contact points for wear and keep them clean. Take the collar off for a few hours every day so your dog’s skin stays healthy.
