Proper Fit
A loose fit 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 unit is too loose, the
contact points will not make proper contact and your dog will
not receive consistent stimulation.
Duration your dog can wear the unit
Leaving the receiver/collar in the same location on the
dog's neck for an extended period of time can cause skin
irritation. If the dog is to wear the e-collar for long periods,
occasionally reposition the receiver/collar so that the contact
points are moved to a different location on the dog's neck.
Make sure you check for skin irritation each time you use
the unit. If your dog exhibits signs of skin irritation, consult
with a veterinarian.
Reaction to the stimulation
Every dog has a different tolerance and reaction to the
stimulation. Please look at your dog's reaction to find just
the right level of stimulation. The stimulation level may
vary depending on the situation and distractions. Normally
a distracted dog (chasing another dog, another animal, etc.)
will require a higher level of stimulation compared to when
there is no distraction.
Training Methods
E-collars can be used with many different methods. If you
have any concerns in the training methods provided by
Dogtra, consult with a dog training professional.
