4. HOW TO FIND THE RIGHT STIMULATION
The ARC 800 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.
NOTE : The stimulation intensity can be adjusted even
while the stimulation is in use.
5. TO MAXIMIZE THE DISTANCE
The Dogtra ARC 800 has a 800m range. The range may
vary 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 800 properly charged.
*Avoid touching the antenna or the range may decrease
substantially.

3. COLLAR FITTING
The receiver/collar should be tted so that the surgical
stainless steel contact points press rmly against the dog’s
skin. When properly tted, you should be able to t a nger
or two snugly in between the contact points and your dog’s
skin. When properly tted, the receiver/collar should not
move on the dog. The best location for the receiver/collar
box is either side of the dog’s windpipe.
A loose t can allow the receiver/collar to move around
on the dog’s neck. When this happens, the contact points
may rub the skin and cause irritation. If the receiver/collar
is too tight, the dogs may have diculty breathing.
