Collar beeps (

).
3. Place a Boundary Flag in the ground (
10B
).
4. Walk back into the Pet Area until the beeping stops.
5. Repeat this process around the Warning Zone until it
is marked with Boundary Flags every 10 feet.

Fit the Receiver Collar
Important: The proper fit 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.
Please read and follow the instructions in this manual. Proper fit of the collar is important. A collar worn for too
long or made too tight on the pet’s neck may cause skin damage. Ranging from redness to pressure ulcers; this
condition is commonly known as bed sores.
• Avoid leaving the collar on the dog for more than 12 hours per day.
• When possible reposition the collar on the pet’s neck every 1 to 2 hours.
• Check the fit to prevent excessive pressure; follow the instructions in this manual.
• Never connect a lead to the electronic collar; it will cause excessive pressure on the contacts.
• When using a separate collar for a lead, don’t put pressure on the electronic collar.
• Wash the dog’s neck area and the contacts of the collar weekly with a damp cloth.
• Examine the contact area daily for signs of a rash or a sore.
• If a rash or sore is found, discontinue use of the collar until the skin has healed.
• If the condition persists beyond 48 hours, see your veterinarian.
• For additional information on bed sores and pressure necrosis, please visit our website.
These steps will help keep your pet safe 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.
