FITTING THE COLLAR ON THE DOG
IMPROPER FIT
A loose fit can allow the collar to move around on
the dog’s neck. When this happens, the contact
points may rub against the skin and cause irritation.
If the collar is too loose, electrical contact will be
inconsistent causing your corrections to be
inconsistent.
Dogtra uses surgical stainless steel contact points and
anti-microbial plastic to protect the dog’s skin.
ATTENTION!
Leaving the receiver/collar in the same location on
the dog’s neck, for an extended period of time can
cause skin irritation. If the dog is to wear the e-collar
for long periods, occasionally reposition the collar so
that the contact points are moved to a different
location on the dog’s neck. Make sure you check for
skin irritation, each time you use the unit.

FITTING THE COLLAR ON THE DOG
INTENSITY SELECTION
The
has a Rheostat Intensity
Dial on the top of the transmitter (0 is the lowest and
127 is the highest). Remember that you will need to
adjust the setting (upward or downward) depending
on your dog’s temperament and threshold for
stimulation. Also, as the dog’s attitude changes,
especially during times of increased excitement or
distraction, you may need to adjust the intensity level.
Note :
The stimulation intensity can be adjusted even
while the stimulation is in use.
FAMILIARIZING THE DOG TO THE BEEPER
SOUND
Turn the beeper collar on and leave it outside the
dog’s kennel area for about a half-hour.
Repeat this several times, until you can see that the
dog disregards the beeper.
Next, adjust the beeper volume level to level L1, the
lowest level. Fit the beeper collar on the dog. Select
the desired beeper volume level as the dog becomes
accustomed to the beeping sound.
