Fit The Bark Control Collar - Petsafe SportDOG SBC-8 Manuel D'utilisation

STEP: 03

FIT THE BARK CONTROL COLLAR

IMPORTANT: The proper fit and placement of the Bark Control Collar is important for effective operation.
The Contact Points must have direct contact with your dog's skin.
See page 3 for Important Safety Information
To ensure a proper fit, follow these steps:
1. Make sure the unit is off.
2. With your dog standing (3A), centre the collar so
the Contact Points are underneath your dog's neck,
touching the skin (3B). If your dog has a long or thick
coat, you have two options to ensure consistent
contact: either trim the hair around the Contact Points
or switch to the longer Contact Points included with
your system.
Note: When switching to the longer Contact Points, ensure the o-rings are attached.
3. Check the tightness of the collar by inserting one finger between the end of a Contact Point and your
dog's neck. The fit should be snug but not constricting.
4. Allow your dog to wear the collar for several minutes and then recheck the fit. Check the fit again as your
dog becomes more comfortable wearing the Bark Control Collar.
Note: If desired, you may cut off the excess length of the collar strap after properly fitting the collar.
• You may need to trim the hair in the area of the Contact Points. Never shave the dog's neck; this may lead
to a rash or infection.
• You should not make the collar any tighter than is required for good contact. A collar that is too tight
will increase the risk of pressure necrosis in the contact area.
