Consider the following factors when choosing a Dogtra E-Collar and setting its levels:

1. Occasion/Activity: Determine if the collar is for companion use (leash walking), hunting (great distances), or professional/K9 work.
2. Temperament: Adjust levels based on your dog's enthusiasm or laid-back nature.
3. Size of Dog: Different receiver sizes and output levels are available for small, medium, and large dogs.

Maintenance and Care

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and effectiveness of your Dogtra ARC E-Collar. Always keep the units clean and dry when not in use.

• Cleaning: Wipe down the transmitter and receiver with a damp cloth after each use, especially if exposed to dirt or water.
• Contact Points: Regularly check the contact points on the receiver for any debris or corrosion. Ensure they are clean for proper skin contact.
