These steps will help keep your pet secure 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.
• The Receiver Collar should not be on your dog when the
system is tested. Your pet may receive an unintended
correction.
• The Boundary Width of the system must be tested
whenever an adjustment is made to the containment field
to prevent unintended corrections to your pet.
• If you use a collar and leash for training, be sure the extra
collar does not put pressure on the contact points.
• Always remove your dog’s Receiver Collar before
performing any Transmitter testing.
• If possible, DO NOT use an AC circuit protected with a
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) or Residual Current
Device (RCD). In rare cases, nearby lightning strikes may
cause the GFCI or RCD to trip. Without power your dog
may be vulnerable to escape. You will have to reset the
GFCI or RCD to restore power to the system.
