4. How to find the right stimulation
The ARC unit comes with the rheostat dial on the
transmitter. The rheostat intensity dial controls the
stimulation level, with level 0 being the lowest level
and level 127 being the highest.
The level of stimulation best suited for your dog depends
on your dog’s temperament and threshold for stimulation.
Always start at the lowest level and work your way up.
The appropriate level can be found when the dog responds
to the stimulation with a mild reaction, such as a tensing of
the neck muscles. The stimulation level may vary depending
on the training situation. When highly distracted, dogs will
require a higher level of stimulation.

depending on the way the transmitter is held.
Hold the transmitter away from your body to receive the
greatest range. For maximum signal strength, keep the
Dogtra ARC properly charged.
*Avoid touching the antenna or the range may decrease
substantially.
