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 the front of this guide for Important Safety Information regarding the receiver collar.
To assure a proper fit, please follow these steps:
1. Make sure that the battery is not installed in the receiver collar.
2. Start with your pet standing comfortably.
3. Place the receiver collar on your pet so that the Premier Pet
™
logo is
facing your pet’s chin.
4. Center the contact points underneath your pet’s neck, touching
the skin. If your pet has a long or thick coat, use the enclosed long
contact points to reach through the hair(
5A
).
• You may need to trim the hair in the area of the contact points. Never shave the
pet’s neck; this may lead to a rash or infection.
• You should not make the receiver collar any tighter than is required for good
contact. A receiver collar that is too tight will increase the risk of pressure
necrosis in the contact area.
5. The receiver collar should fit snugly, yet loose enough to allow one finger to fit between a contact point and
your pet’s neck (
5B
).
6. Allow your pet to wear the collar for several minutes then recheck the fit. Check the fit again as your pet
becomes more comfortable with the receiver collar.
7. Once you are satisfied with the fit of the receiver collar, then you may trim any excess collar strap as follows:
A. Mark the desired length of the receiver 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.
C. Before placing the receiver collar back onto your pet, seal the edge of the cut collar by applying a flame
along the frayed edge.
8. Put battery in receiver collar.
