FIT THE COLLAR RECEIVER
IMPORTANT: The proper fit and placement of the Collar Receiver 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), center the Collar Receiver
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 2 options to ensure consistent contact:
either trim the hair around the Contact Points or switch
to the longer Contact Points included with your system.
3. Check the tightness of the collar by inserting your finger between the end
of a Contact Point and your dog's neck (3C). 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 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.
