Step 3
Fit the Receiver Collar
Important: The proper fit and placement of your Receiver Collar is important for effective operation.
To assure a proper fit, 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 on your dog’s neck close to the ears. Center
the Receiver underneath your dog’s neck, touching the skin (
3B). Make
sure the PetSafe
®
logo on the front of the unit is upright. Note: It is
sometimes necessary to trim the hair along the path of the
spray. It is important that the spray reaches your dog’s
snout to be effective.
Do not shave the pet’s neck as this may
increase the risk of skin irritation.
4. Check the tightness of the Receiver Collar by inserting
one finger between the collar and your dog’s neck (
3C).
The fit should be snug but not constricting.
5. Allow your dog to wear the Receiver Collar for several
minutes then recheck the fit. Check the fit again as your
dog becomes more comfortable with the Receiver Collar.
6. Trim the collar as follows: (
3D)
a. Mark the desired length of the collar with a pen.
Allow for growth if your dog is young or grows a
thick winter coat.
b. Remove the Receiver Collar from your dog and cut
off excess.
c. Before placing the Receiver Collar back onto your
dog, seal the edge of the cut collar by applying a
flame along the frayed edge.
The Receiver Collar should not be worn for more than 12 hours out of every
24-hour period. Leaving the collar on too long could lead to skin irritation. Please
refer to page 2 for additional information.
