is not a solid barrier. This
system is designed to act as a deterrent to remind pets by
Static Correction to remain in the boundary established. It
is important that you reinforce training with your pet on a
regular basis. Proper fit of the collar is important. A collar
worn for too long or made too tight on the pet’s neck may
cause skin damage ranging from redness to pressure ulcers.
This condition is commonly known as bed sores.
• Avoid leaving the collar on the dog for more than 12 hours
per day.
• When possible reposition the collar on the pet’s neck
every 1 to 2 hours.
• Check the fit to prevent excessive pressure; follow the
instructions in this manual.
• Never connect a lead to the electronic collar; it will cause
excessive pressure on the contacts.
• When using a separate collar for a lead, don’t put
pressure on the electronic collar.
• Wash the dog’s neck area and the contacts of the collar
weekly with a damp cloth.
• Examine the contact area daily for signs of a rash or
a sore.
