Fit the Receiver Collar

Important: The  proper  fi t 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. 

To assure a proper fi t, please follow these steps:
1. Have your pet standing comfortably (

3A

).

2. Center the Contact Points underneath your pet’s neck, touching 

the skin (

3B

). If your pet has a long or thick coat, use the enclosed 

long Contact Points to reach through the hair. 

Note: It is sometimes 

necessary to trim the hair around the Contact Points to make sure that 
contact is consistent.

3A

3. The Receiver Collar should fi t snugly, yet 

loose enough to allow one fi nger to fi t 
between the strap and your pet’s neck (

3C

).

4. Allow your pet to wear the collar for several 

minutes then recheck the fi t. Check the fi t 
again as your pet becomes more comfortable 
with the Receiver Collar. If your pet’s neck 
is less than 12” around, you will need to 
thread the part of the collar which includes 
the antenna through the buckle. It will be a 
tight fi t. 

5. Trim the collar as follows (

3D

):

a. Mark the desired length of the collar with a 

pen. Allow for growth if your pet is young 
or grows a thick winter coat.

b. Remove the Receiver Collar from your pet 

and cut off the excess.

 

Important: Do not 

cut the part of the collar containing the 
Antenna.

c. Before placing the Receiver Collar back 

onto your pet, seal the edge of the cut collar 
by applying a fl ame along the frayed edge.
