Dogtra ARC vs ARC-X
Pick the Dogtra ARC-X for the slimmer, updated receiver with a Safety Level Lock; pick the original ARC if you want its 127 correction levels. Both are slim 3/4-mile, IPX9K-waterproof e-collars - the ARC-X fits dogs 15 lbs and up.
Pros
- ARC-X: Safety Level Lock, slimmer receiver
- ARC: 127 levels, expandable to two dogs
Cons
- ARC: no safety lock
- ARC-X: 100 levels, fewer steps than the ARC
The core difference
The ARC is the original slim unit: 127 levels, Nick, Constant and a Pager vibration, expandable to two dogs, but with no stimulation safety lock. The ARC-X is the X-series update: a slimmer receiver, 100 levels and the Safety Level Lock the ARC lacked, sized for dogs 15 lbs and up. If accidental level changes worry you, that lock is the deciding feature.
