3. Collar Fitting
The receiver/collar should be fitted so that the surgical
stainless steel contact points press firmly against the dog’s
skin. When properly fitted, you should be able to fit a finger
or two snugly in between the contact points and your dog’s
skin. When properly fitted, the receiver/collar should not
move on the dog. The best location for the receiver/collar
box is either side of the dog’s windpipe.
A loose fit can allow the receiver/collar to move around
on the dog’s neck. When this happens, the contact points
may rub the skin and cause irritation. If the receiver/collar
is too tight, the dogs may have difficulty breathing.
