3. Collar fitting
The receiver
collar should be
¿
tted so that the surgical
stainless steel contact points press
¿
rmly against the dog’s
skin. When properly
¿
tted, you should be able to
¿
t a
¿
nger
or two snugly in between the contact points and your dog’s
skin. When properly
¿
tted, the receiver
collar should not
move on the dog. The best location for the receiver
collar
box is either side of the dog’s windpipe.
A loose
¿
t can allow the receiver
collar to move around
on the dog’s neck. When this happens, the contact points
may rub the skin and cause irritation. If the receiver
collar
is too tight, the dogs may have dif
¿
culty breathing.
