STEP 5
Fit the Receiver Collar
Important:
The proper fi t and placement of your Receiver Collar is important for
effective training and the Safety of your pet. The Contact Points must have direct
contact with your pet’s skin on the underside of his neck.
To assure a proper fi t, please follow these steps:
1. Make sure that the battery is not installed in the Receiver Collar.
2. Start with your pet standing comfortably (
5A)
.
3. To make it easier to hear the warning beep, place the Receiver Collar on your pet with the PetSafe
®
logo side of the Receiver facing up.
4. Centre the Contact Points underneath your pet’s neck, touching the skin. If your pet has a long or
thick coat, use the enclosed long Contact Points to reach through the hair.
You may need to trim the hair in the area of the Contact Points. Never shave the
dog’s neck; this may lead to a rash or infection.
5. Check the tightness of the Receiver Collar by inserting one fi nger between the end of a Contact
Point and your pet’s neck. The fi t should be snug but not constricting (
5B
).
6. Allow your pet to wear the collar for several minutes then recheck the fi t. Check the fi t again as
your pet becomes more comfortable with the Receiver Collar.
7. Trim the collar as follows (
5C
):
a. Mark the desired length of the Receiver Collar with a pen. Allow for growth if your pet is young
or grows a thick winter coat.
b. Remove the Receiver Collar from your pet and cut off the excess.
c. Before placing the Receiver Collar back onto your pet, seal the edge of the cut collar by
applying a fl ame along the frayed edge.
8. Put battery in Receiver Collar.
