FIT THE COLLAR RECEIVER
IMPORTANT: The Contact Points must have direct contact with your dog’s skin.
Please see page 95 for Important Safety Information.
To ensure a proper fit, follow these steps:
1. With your dog standing (3A) , center the
Collar Receiver so the Contact Points are
underneath your dog’s neck, touching the
skin
(3B) . If your dog has a long or thick
coat, you have two options to ensure
consistent contact: either trim the hair
around the Contact Points or switch to the
longer Contact Points included with your system.
2. The Collar Receiver should fit snugly, yet loose enough to allow
one finger to fit between the strap and your dog’s neck (3C) .
3. Allow your dog to wear the collar for several minutes, and then
recheck the fit. Check the fit again as your dog becomes more
comfortable wearing the Collar Receiver.
• 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.
• You should not make the collar any tighter than is required for good contact. A collar that is too tight
will increase the risk of pressure necrosis in the contact area.
