Fit The Collar Receiver - SportDOG SD-105C Mode D'emploi

STEP :: 03

FIT THE COLLAR RECEIVER

IMPORTANT: The proper fit and placement of the Collar Receiver is important for effective training.
The Contact Points must have direct contact with your dog's skin.
Please see page 3 for Important Safety Information.
To ensure a proper fit, follow these steps:
1. With your dog standing (3A), center the Collar Receiver where
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.
2. The Collar Receiver should fit snugly, yet loose enough to allow
one finger to fit between the strap and your dog's neck (3C).
3. 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 Collar Receiver.
4. Trim the collar as follows (3D):
A. Mark the desired length of the collar with a pen. Allow for
growth if your dog is young or grows a thick winter coat.
B. Remove the Collar Receiver from your dog and cut off the
excess. IMPORTANT: Do not cut the part of the collar
containing the antenna.
C. Before placing the Collar Receiver back onto your dog, seal
the edge of the cut collar by applying a flame along the
frayed edge.
• 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.
