5. COLLAR FITTING
Proper Fit
The collar should be fitted so that the surgical stainless
steel contact points press firmly against the dog's skin.
You should be able to fit a finger in between the contact
point and your dog's skin. The best location is on either
side of the dog's windpipe.
Improper Fit
A loose fit can allow the collar to move around on the
dog's neck. When this happens, the contact points may
rub against the skin and cause irritation. If the collar is
too loose, the contact will not be consistent and cause
the corrections to be inconsistent. Dogtra uses surgical
stainless steel contact points and anti-microbial plastic
to protect the dog's skin.

Attention!
Leaving the receiver in the same location on the
dog's neck for an extended period of time can cause
skin irritation due to the sensitivity from the contact
points. If the dog is to wear the receiver for long
periods, occasionally reposition the receiver every
few hours so that the contact points are moved to a
different location on the dog's neck and remove the
receiver after 8 hours of usage. Make sure you check
for skin irritation each time you use the unit.
6. FINDING THE RIGHT STIMULATION INTENSITY
SELECTION
The 2700T&B Series has a Rheostat Dial on the top of
the transmitter (0 is the lowest and 127 is the highest).
Remember that you will need to adjust the setting
(upward or downward) depending on your dog's
temperament and threshold for stimulation. Also, as
the dog's attitude changes, especially during times of
increased excitement or distraction, you may need to
adjust the intensity level.
Note : The stimulation intensity can be adjusted even
when the stimulation is in use.
