3. Receiver Fitting
Proper Fit
The receiver should be fitted so that the conductive
plastic contact points press firmly against the dog’s skin.
You should be able to fit two fingers underneath the
collar strap. The best location is on either side of the dog’s
windpipe.
Improper Fit
A loose fit can allow the receiver to move around on the
dog’s neck. When this happens, the contact points may
rub against the skin and cause irritation. If the receiver is
too loose, the contact will not be consistent and cause the
corrections to be inconsistent.
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 eight hours of usage. Make sure you check for skin
irritation each time you use the unit.
