Dogtra ARC-X vs 1900X
Pick the Dogtra ARC-X for the slimmest receiver on a smaller neck (dogs 15 lbs and up); pick the 1900X for a tougher metal case on a bigger dog (35 lbs and up). Both are X-series units at a 3/4-mile range with 100 levels, Tone, Vibration and a safety lock.
Pros
- ARC-X: slimmest receiver, fits 15 lbs+
- 1900X: tough metal case for big dogs, LED light
Cons
- ARC-X: less rugged than the metal 1900X
- 1900X: bulkier, sized for 35 lbs+ only
The core difference
Same range, same levels, different housing and fit. The ARC-X is the lowest-profile receiver Dogtra makes, sized for dogs 15 lbs and up, so it disappears on the neck. The 1900X is the built-for-life metal case, sized for dogs 35 lbs and up, so it takes abuse. Both keep the 3/4-mile reach, 100 levels and the Safety Level Lock.

I'm pretty sure the dogtra 1900s is similar in size to the BOSS by ecollar tech. I have heard terrible things about the dogtra arc and dogtra IQ ...

Which to choose
Choose the ARC-X for a slim collar on a smaller or lighter-coated dog; choose the 1900X when durability and a big-dog fit matter more than profile. Setup is the same X-series flow on the how to use page.
