It is vitally important that you and your dog remain safe while learning on-leash/lead training. Your dog should be
on a strong leash/lead, long enough for him to attempt to chase an object, but short enough for him not to reach a
road or other hazard. You must be physically strong enough to restrain your dog if he tries to chase something.
This product is not a toy. Keep it out of the reach of children.
•
Proper fit of the collar is important. A collar worn for too long or made too tight on the dog's neck may cause
skin damage ranging from redness to pressure ulcers. This condition is commonly known as bed sores.
•
Avoid leaving the collar on a dog for more than 12 hours per day.
•
When possible, reposition the collar on the dog's neck every 1 to 2 hours.
•
Regularly recheck the fit to prevent excessive pressure; follow the instructions in this guide.
•
You may need to trim the hair in the area of the Contact Points. However, never shave the dog's neck; this may
lead to a rash or infection.
•
Never connect a leash/lead to a collar with Contact Points. It will cause excessive pressure on the Contact
Points.
•
When connecting a leash/lead to a separate collar, do not allow it to put pressure on the Collar Receiver.
•
Wash the dog's neck area and the Contact Points of the collar weekly with a damp cloth.
•
Examine the contact area daily for signs of a rash or a sore.
•
If a rash or sore is found, discontinue using this product until the skin has healed.
•
If the condition persists beyond 48 hours, see your veterinarian.
