Who the ARC-X is for

The ARC-X fills the gap between the compact 280X and the metal-cased 1900X: it keeps the 3/4-mile range of the big unit but in the slimmest receiver Dogtra makes, sized for dogs 15 lbs and up. It is the X-series answer to the older ARC, adding the Safety Level Lock the ARC lacked. An additional receiver is sold to expand to two dogs.

How it compares

Against the 1900X, the ARC-X trades the tough metal housing for a lower profile at the same range - see ARC-X vs 1900X. Against the older ARC it is slimmer and adds the safety lock, while the ARC keeps 127 levels - see ARC vs ARC-X. Setup is the standard Dogtra flow on the how to use page.

Frequently Asked Questions

Dogtra lists it for dogs 15 lbs and up. For dogs down to 10 lbs, the 280X is the better fit.

ARC-X or 1900X?

Both run at 3/4 mile and 100 levels; the ARC-X is slimmer and lighter, the 1900X is a tougher metal case. See ARC-X vs 1900X.

Does the ARC-X have a safety lock?

Yes. Unlike the original ARC, the ARC-X includes a Safety Level Lock to prevent accidental level changes.
