Step 11: Fit the Receiver Collar
• Proper fit of the receiver collar is important. A receiver 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 receiver collar on the pet for more than 12 hours per day.
• When possible reposition the receiver collar on the pet’s neck every 1 to 2 hours.
• Regularly recheck the fit to prevent excessive pressure; follow the instructions in this
product manual.
• Never connect a lead to a collar with contact points. It will cause excessive pressure
on the contact points.
• When connecting a lead to a separate collar, do not allow it to put pressure on the
receiver collar.
• Wash the pet’s neck area and the contact points of the receiver collar weekly with
a damp cloth.
• Examine the contact area daily for signs of a rash or a sore.
• If a rash or sore is found, discontinue use of the receiver collar until the skin
has healed.
• If the condition persists beyond 48 hours, see your veterinarian.
• For additional information on bed sores and pressure necrosis, please visit
our website.
• You may need to trim the hair in the area of the contact points. However, never
shave the pet’s neck; this may lead to a rash or infection.
Important: The proper fit and placement of your receiver collar is important for effective training. The contact points
must have direct contact with your pet’s skin on the underside of his neck.
1. Be sure the receiver collar is off before placing it on your pet. Then with your pet standing ( 11A ), fit the receiver
collar snugly onto your pet’s neck so that the contact points make contact with your pet’s skin on the underside of
his neck.
2. Check the tightness of the receiver collar by inserting one finger between the end of a contact point and your
pet’s neck. The fit should be snug but not constricting ( 11B ).
3. Allow your pet to wear the receiver collar for a few minutes, then check it again.
