ADJUSTING & POSITIONING YOUR
COLLAR FOR PROPER FIT
Proper collar tightness and
position are very important to
insure safety and correct
functioning every time you
use the collar.
• All electronic collars need to be
very snug to work properly. They
must be just tight enough to allow
the “prongs” or electrodes to make good skin contact.
• If your collar is too loose, the stimulation may not work
properly because good skin contact is not being achieved.
This can directly affect the stimulation performance and
whether or not the dog will receive the stimulation.
Always check for good “prong” contact if it appears that
your dog is not responding to the stimulation.
• A loose collar can promote skin irritation from moving or
rubbing too much on a dog’s neck while they are running
or training. The proper snug fit will help prevent this
from occurring.
• Proper fit of the collar is important. It should be just
tight enough on the dog’s neck to make good skin contact
and allow the dog to breath normally. The collar should
never be so tight on the dog’s neck that it restricts the
dog’s normal breathing pattern.
• For proper positioning of your collar receiver box, it
should be placed on the center of the dog’s neck.
