FIT THE GPS COLLAR OR GPS COLLAR WITH E-COLLAR MODULE
To ensure the effectiveness of this product and the comfort and safety of your dog, check the fit of the collar
frequently. If you notice that your dog is experiencing skin irritation, discontinue use of the collar for a few days.
If the condition persists beyond 48 hours, see your veterinarian.
IMPORTANT: The proper fit and placement of the collar is important for effective use.
Please see page 2 for Important Safety Information.
To ensure a proper fit, follow these steps:
1. With your dog standing (
A), center the GPS Collar underneath
your dog’s neck (
B). If using an E-Collar Module, ensure the
Contact Points are touching the skin. If your dog has a long or
thick coat, you have 2 options to ensure consistent contact: either
trim the hair around the Contact Points or switch to the longer
Contact Points included with your system.
• 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.
2. The collar should fit snugly, yet loose enough to allow 1 finger to fit between the
strap and your dog’s neck (
C).
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.
NOTE: To ensure the best reception possible, ensure the GPS antenna is positioned on the
back of your dog’s neck.
