Fit the Receiver Collar

Important: The proper ﬁt and placement of your Receiver Collar is important for

effective training. The Contact Points must have direct contact with your pet’s

skin on the underside of his neck.

Please read and follow the instructions in this manual. Proper ﬁt of

the collar is important. A collar worn for too long or made too tight

on the pet’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 the dog for more than 12 hours

per day.

• When possible reposition the collar on the pet’s neck every

1 to 2 hours.

• Check the ﬁt to prevent excessive pressure; follow the

instructions in this manual.

• Never connect a lead to the electronic collar; it will cause

excessive pressure on the contacts.

• When using a separate collar for a lead, don’t put pressure on

the electronic collar.

• Wash the dog’s neck area and the contacts 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 use of the collar until the

skin has healed.

• If the condition persists beyond 48 hours, see your veterinarian.

• For additional information on bed sores and pressure necrosis,

These steps will help keep your pet safe and comfortable. Millions

of pets are comfortable while they wear stainless steel contacts.

Some pets are sensitive to contact pressure. You may ﬁnd after

some time that your pet is very tolerant of the collar. If so, you

may relax some of these precautions. It is important to continue

daily checks of the contact area. If redness or sores are found,

discontinue use until the skin has fully healed.

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.

To assure a proper ﬁt, please follow these steps:

1. Turn the Receiver Collar battery to the

OFF position.

2. Start with your pet standing comfortably (9A).

3. Place the Receiver Collar on your pet so that

the battery module is pointing down. Center
