Fit the Receiver Collar
Important: The proper fi t and placement of your Receiver Collar is important
for effective operation. The Contact Points must have direct contact with your
dog’s skin on the underside of his neck.
To assure a proper fi t, please follow these steps:
1. Make sure that the Receiver Collar is turned off.
2. Start with your dog standing comfortably (
3A
).
3. Place the Receiver Collar high on your dog’s neck close to the
ears. Centre the Contact Points underneath your dog’s neck,
touching the skin (
3B
).
Note: It is sometimes necessary to trim the
hair around the Contact Points to make sure that contact is consistent.

4. Check the tightness of the Receiver Collar
by inserting one fi nger between the collar
and your dog’s neck (
3C
). The fi t should be
snug but not constricting.
5. Allow your dog to wear the Receiver Collar
for several minutes then recheck the fi t.
Check the fi t again as your dog becomes
more comfortable with the Receiver Collar.
Care and Cleaning
To ensure the effectiveness of this product
and the comfort and safety of your dog, check
the fi t of his collar frequently. This Guide
describes proper collar fi tting. 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.

To prevent skin irritation from occurring:
• The Receiver Collar should not be worn for more than 8 hours out of every 24-hour
period.
• Your dog’s neck and the Contact Points must be washed weekly with a washcloth and
mild hand soap, then rinsed thoroughly.
• Be sure that your pet’s neck is thoroughly dry before placing the Receiver Collar back
on his neck.
